In the end, this just turned out to be a dot (or filled in circle) with an inverted semicirlcle and line attached. Trying to add feet and a tail got complicated...
import turtle
sam = turtle.Turtle()
def draw_side(turtle_name, color, length, angle):
turtle_name.color(color)
turtle_name.forward(length)
turtle_name.left(angle)
sam.pensize(10)
sam.color('white')
sam.setpos(-150,0)
for color in ['green']:
sam.color(color)
sam.dot(75)
sam.penup()
sam.forward(175)
sam.pendown()
sam.penup()
Sam.setpos(95,-95)
sam.pendown()
sam.left(90)
sam.circle(120,180)
sam.setpos(95,-95)
sam.right(180)
turtle.done()
