On 20 January 2016, the entertainment web site Waterford Whispers News published an article claiming that the character Animal from The Muppets had passed away at the age of 66: It's unclear how Animal, a Muppet, could die, but we have received several emails concerning the fictional creature's well-being. It's likely that some people assumed that the actor who played Animal had passed away, or perhaps that the character was being retired. At any rate, there is no truth to the above-displayed article. Frank Oz, who voiced Animal on The Muppets, is still alive. The character is also featured on the new Muppets show, although he is voiced by a different actor, Eric Jacobson. Waterford Whispers News is a satire publication that does not publish factual news stories: Animal the Muppet lives on.
