Appearance/Personality
Cecil Turtle is a turtle with green scales and a brown shell and white belly on the shell. Cecil was the only character that is able to trick Bugs Bunny constantly though Bugs can get him back from time to time but not as often. In Rabbit Transit that was the only cartoon where both characters could get the best of each other but in all four cartoons Bugs lost to Cecil. Cecil and Bugs play the game of the tortoise and the hare tale with the intention of "slow and steady wins the race" which the result ends up being true for the most part. The only cartoon not to do this was Falling Hare which puts Bugs trying to get Cecil to stop trying to destroy a plane. Though Bugs looses throughout, both win in the end as the plane runs out of gas and doesn't crash with them in it. Cecil was retired during the golden age because the studio didn't really know who to pin Cecil against and audiences didn't like seeing their hero Bugs Bunny being constantly defeated.
