Gonzo is a weirdo. It's mentioned several times in the series.

Bunsen is an anthropomorphized honeydew melon, and Beaker is a representation of a chemist's beaker.

Scooter and Skeeter are supposedly humanoids...

Gonzo finds out he's an alien in "Muppets from Space"

reply

Yeah, but that was a crappy movie, so it dont REALLY count :P

Gonzo is some kind of bird.

The past doesn't exist and the future is only an illusion.

reply

Gonzo is a vulture but those type of birds are known for scavenging on the carcasses of dead animals including human flesh.

Hard to make a 'vulture' cuddly--and puppet like to children. Yeah it would have scared me if I found out what they eat when I was little.

So they very likely made him 'kid friendly' after creating the character by just telling people he was a weirdo. Yeah I can see why they did the edit in this case.

Gonzo would never ever hurt anything.

I always thought Gonzo was a parrot.

Animal is a type of monkey, and I always thought Gonzo was an anteater! Scooter & Skeeter were some species of bird, and Bunsen was a slug!

The full explanation of Gonzo is in this movie:

Muppets from Space.
