What kind of animal was Snorky from the TV show 'The Banana Splits'?

The Banana Splits Adventure Hour was an hour-long, packaged television variety program featuring The Banana Splits, a fictional rock band composed of four funny animal characters. The costumed hosts of the show were Fleegle a beagle (guitar, vocals), Bingo a gorilla (drums, vocals), Drooper a lion (bass, vocals) and Snorky an elephant (keyboards, effects).

The series was produced by Hanna-Barbera, and ran for 31 episodes on NBC Saturday mornings, from September 7, 1968, to September 5, 1970. The costumes and sets were designed by Sid and Marty Krofft and the series' sponsor was Kellogg's Cereals. The show featured both live action and animated segments and was Hanna-Barbera’s first foray into mixing live action with animation.

I was crazy about the Banana Splits and their 6 wheel buggies as a kid. I got it right, but had long forgotten their names until I read the answer.

My daughter used to watch this & constantly sang the"La-la-la-la" part of their song, especially while riding in the car. Amemory I had forgotten until this question. Thanks!
