Momma

Momma the Elephant is a female animal character, and a resident of the Jungle Exhibit. She is kind, caring, and compassionate, and a bit smarter than her compatriots; however, like Ira she does have a bit of a fault with pride (though it is nowhere near as pronounced in her case).

Momma and Snort are both the oldest and wisest of the animals; Momma also has taught herself how to read English, something none of the other animals can do. It is she who ultimately makes the discovery of why Mr. Grumble is so grumpy and sad; later, she is the first animal to finally suceed in communicating with Mr. Grumble, via written messages.

Momma's costume should consist of mostly pale blues instead of greys so she does not look dull and uninteresting. It is suggested she wear a blue plastic slinky as a trunk. On her head, she should wear a toboggan or backwards ball cap with large posterboard or felt elephant ears attached to the sides of it, and a light blue sweater. She also should wear a long, poofy silver or pale blue skirt, rubber boots, and grey mittens.

Trivia

 * Momma's name in the original story was Errow (a phonetic spelling of a typical elephant "trumpeting" noise). She was also the self-declared foster mother of the fiesty Wolf Cubs.
 * If the interior of your stage is too warm for a sweater, Momma can wear a thinner longsleeved shirt if necessary.
 * Momma's name can possibly be changed to "Poppa", so the character can be male. Considering that the character is written to sing soprano, this is not encouraged.
