A nerdy blue anteater who is one of the most intelligent characters in the series. He is the second character without a heart-shaped nose and a pair of buckteeth. He usually likes doing and reading science and math problems. To reinforce the 'nerd' image that Sniffles exudes, he is seen dressed up as Spock, a Star Trek character (the Vulcan ears being the giveaway), in ''[[Remains to be Seen]]'' and ''[[Something Fishy]]''. He also sports [[List of Belongings|a pair of glasses that are taped at the bridge and a pocket protector]] on his chest, this being the typical nerd wardrobe.

Sniffles' IQ has been proven to be extremely high in both the internet and TV series. He has [[Sniffles' Inventions|built things]] that are far more advanced than most of the other characters (ex. a rocket from a school bus and even a time machine). Most of the times, however, these devices malfunction and work against him, leading to his own death and the deaths of others. Like [[Toothy]], he has a wide range of deaths, usually involving either his tongue, his head, his torso, getting crushed, and getting sliced or cut apart. He also has a multitude of jobs, including a doctor and a pilot. In addition, he is sort of a mad scientist (as shown in his [[Smoochie]]) mixing fluids that end up causing his death. He usually says "''Ah Ha!''" when he gets an idea for an invention. Sometimes, he gets angry with Lumpy or Cuddles, such as ''[[Wingin' It]]'', ''[[In a Jam]]'', and ''[[Tongue in Cheek]]''.

Sniffles also has a craving for [[The Ants|ants]], which is one of his [[Natural Instincts|animal instincts]]. However, whenever he tries to eat one, they kill him after torturing him in the most sadistic manners. Only in the episode ''[[Blast from the Past]]'' has Sniffles eaten an ant without being killed. In general, Sniffles' deaths are slower and more painful than most of the other characters. ''[[Tongue in Cheek]]'' is considered to be his worst and longest death, bringing him to tears from the extreme pain and/or sheer despair. On some occasions, especially in newer episodes, he dies quick deaths, similar to [[Mime]], who has instant deaths. Similar to [[Cub]], [[Cuddles]], [[Toothy]], [[Petunia]], [[Handy]], [[Lifty]], and [[Shifty]], Sniffles rarely survives in the episodes he appears in. The only episodes that he survived are ''[[Happy Trails pt. 1]]'', ''[[Stealing the Spotlight]]'' ('''debatable'''), ''[[Blast from the Past]]'' ('''with the time machine'''), ''[[See What Develops]]'', ''[[Wipe Out]]'', ''[[Easy Comb, Easy Go]]'', ''[[Hear Today, Gone Tomorrow]]'', ''[[We're Scrooged!]]'', ''[[Happy New Year]]'', the ''[[Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm (episode)|Happy Tree Friends: False Alarm episode]],'' ''[[YouTube Copyright School]]'', ''[[Spare Tire]]'', ''[[Camp Pokeneyeout]]'', and ''[[Dream Job]]''.

A nerdy blue anteater who is one of the most intelligent characters in the series. He is the second character without a heart-shaped nose and a pair of buckteeth. He usually likes doing and reading science and math problems. To reinforce the 'nerd' image that Sniffles exudes, he is seen dressed up as Spock, a Star Trek character (the Vulcan ears being the giveaway), in Remains to be Seen and Something Fishy. He also sports a pair of glasses that are taped at the bridge and a pocket protector on his chest, this being the typical nerd wardrobe.
Sniffles' IQ has been proven to be extremely high in both the internet and the TV series. He has built things that are far more advanced than most of the other characters (ex. a rocket from a school bus, and even a time machine). Most of the times, however, these devices malfunction and work against him, leading to his own death and the deaths of others. Like Toothy, he has a wide range of deaths, usually involving either his tongue, his head, his torso, getting crushed, and getting sliced or cut apart. He has also had a multitude of jobs, including a doctor and a pilot. In addition, he is sometimes shown to be a bit of a mad scientist (as shown in his Smoochie), mixing fluids that end up causing his death. He usually says "Ah Ha!" when he gets an idea for an invention.
His mouth and nose are combined to make a trunk-like snout, with his lips at the tip. It used to be long in the Internet shorts, but starting with the TV series, it became much shorter. The reason for this was to add additional cuteness to his appearance.
It is worth noting that Sniffles, although not one of the four center characters (Lumpy, Cuddles, Giggles, Toothy), is beginning to become more of a main character. He has the second most starring roles in the TV series, at a total of 6; only Lumpy has more, with 16. He has also had a total of 17 starring roles if you add up his starring roles in TV and Internet episodes.
According to the "Collect Them All" section of the First Blood DVD, Sniffles has a few allergies and loves calculating long division problems.
Known as being the smartest Happy Tree Friend, Sniffles is capable creating inventions, some of which are far more advanced than the inventions of now. However, they almost always backfire on him.

Sniffles is the first character to have an episode where he starred without any other main character in it (Crazy Antics).
Sniffles is the first and so far only character to have his fingernails seen in an episode. In Tongue in Cheek, the ants painfully open one of his nails and pour salt under it.
Despite seeming to be very intelligent, Sniffles often lacks common sense.
He is the only character who is an animal that is not native to North America. Anteaters are found in South America. As such, his species is out of place with the setting.
Sniffles is the eighth character to die in the TV series.
It is possible that Sniffles wears a shirt, since he is seen with a pocket protector.
Sniffles survives 13 out of the 58 episodes he appears in.
He may have been based on the aardvark from the "Pink Panther" show. Both are colored blue, usually fail to catch ants, and tend to get injured quite a lot.
Sniffles may also be based on Arthur the Aardvark, as both characters are smart and wear similar-looking glasses. Coincidentally, both characters started off with long noses that were eventually made shorter.
In the ant episodes, he is also a lot like Aardvark from the 50s theoretical cartoon The Ant and the Aardvark. Both characters repeatedly go after the same ant/ants in exceptionally creative ways, only to very painfully pay the price.
In addition to his snout, his ears and tail are also unique.
He is the first main character to act as a villain.
He is the only main character to act like a villain in their debut to become a normal character in future appearances.
He stars as the only character in an episode the most.
Some people mistake him for an elephant because of his trunk-like snout. However, his ears and tail are not like an elephant's and his mouth is on the tip of his snout.
Sniffles is one of the two characters whose species is completely carnivorous. The other character is Russell.
Sniffles is one of the two characters to kill The Mole more than the amount of times Mole has killed him. The other character is Giggles.
He is one of only two male characters (the other being Cub) with a female voice actor.
Sniffles' snout was long in the first two seasons of the internet series. During the TV series, though first shown in Suck it Up, his snout became shorter.
Sniffles' snout designs over the course of the series.
In Internet Season 4, his snout became slightly smaller and straight (like it appears when he is facing the front). Now his snout can transition between curved and straight in episodes such as Pet Peeve.
Most of his kills are caused by what he creates or builds, like his pet in Pet Peeve, the drill in A Hole Lotta Love, or his mechanical paper plane in A Sight for Sore Eyes, to name a few.
He has a lot of money, as is shown in the episode We're Scrooged!, possibly because his intelligence allows him to have high-paying jobs.
He is the most frequent and only victim of The Ants (and Mittens, within the show).
Like real anteaters, Sniffles has very poor eyesight (though he wears glasses to help himself see). But unlike his species, he has teeth.
So far, the only starring roles he has survived are Blast from the Past (only with the time machine in an endless loop) and Dream Job (only suffering a minor hallucination episode despite all the dream deaths).
In three of the six TV episodes he starred in, he killed other characters, and in the other three, he did not.
Despite being a "nerd", Sniffles is pretty athletic. He can run fast, jump far, and is very strong as in Idol Curiosity. However, he is seen having difficulty while lifting a bowling ball in Spare Me.
In season 3, his alliterate sentence is: Science is seriously satisfying!.
Sniffles and The Mole are the only characters to regularly wear glasses.
Sniffles was originally planned to be a squirrel.
Despite his tries to catch ants, he almost never succeeds at catching them at all, an exception being when he destroyed an ant hill in Tongue in Cheek with a robotic ant.
Sniffles has the longest tongue length out of all of the characters, which is not at all strange considering his species.
He could be considered similar to Mametchi from the Tamagotchi line of toys, as both are shown to be very intelligent, make inventions which can fail, and are shown with a job (for example, Sniffles as a doctor and Mametchi as a dentist).
It is odd that a character that is portrayed as so intelligent never learns from trying to eat The Ants, despite how they brutally torture him to death every time he does. This is possibly due to the show's little continuity (similar to how Flippy never gets over his disorder despite being cured once).
However, in the particularly brutal Tongue in Cheek, he was tortured just as brutally (if not more) as usual when he reached his hand into their anthill, but still tried to catch and eat them again later in the same episode.
Sniffles is one of the few characters with more than 100 kills. The others are Lumpy, The Mole, and Evil Flippy.
