of the very many characters ross animated, he is most closely associated with bugs bunny, but also did a great deal of work involving daffy duck, yosemite sam, tweety, and many others, including the rudy larriva-directed road runner and wile e. coyote shorts. when handling long-eared characters such as bugs or wile e., ross occasionally tilted or waved an ear in otherwise-static scenes. as the animator for "a wild hare" (1940), generally regarded as the first appearance of bugs bunny, ross had a first person view of the creation of the character.
