Characters

The characters in the show are:

Snook

A sloth, Snook helps his friends learn all about the 'Big Big World' around them. He's slow and often takes naps, but is always up for a scientific investigation. He also enjoys to sing and dance with all of his friends in the World Tree.

Burdette

Burdette the Quetzal bird sometimes seems like a controlling older sister, who always thinks she knows more than everyone around her. However, Burdette seems sincere, and while investigating things with her friends in the World Tree, she's sometimes surprised to learn new things about herself too.

Smooch and Winslow

Smooch and Winslow are two playful sibling monkeys - marmosets to be exact - who are always stirring things up. Smooch, the girl monkey, is always trying to figure out the mysteries of the world around her, and Winslow is the goofy creative thinker. With such different personalities, these two monkeys don't always see eye to eye, but their little disagreements frequently lead to great adventures.

Madge

Madge is an old she-turtle. She is the wisest creature in the World Tree, and the one everyone comes to when they have a problem to solve. She's traveled all over the world and shares her experiences with everyone. Her library is the place to visit for answers to scientific questions.

Bob

Bob the Southern Anteater loves the ants that live all around him in the World Tree and he's always trying new things out to make them like him more. Bob also worries a lot about things that he thinks might happen.

Ick

Ick is a fish who lives in the water hole at the bottom of the Tree. He can be crabby and likes to think that he knows everything, even though he's only seen the pond and the little bit of land around it.

Oko

An old baboon, Oko is a trickster who always shows up when least expected. Oko can be grouchy and mischievous, but he also shares mysterious stories and little bits of wisdom with the others. A Tai Chi master, he carries an old walking stick that he can twirl from his feet to his hands and back again in the blink of an eye.

Wartz

Wartz is a Red-eyed Tree Frog who has gone through his metamorphosis, growing from a tadpole into a frog. Best friends with Smooch and Winslow, Wartz wants to get along with everyone and will agree with anyone, no matter what they're saying.
