Characters[]
Main[]
- Snook (performed by Peter Linz) is a pale-throated three-toed sloth who serves as the host of the show. He lives in the World Tree and loves nothing more than to help his friends learn all about the 'Big Big World' around them. He's extremely slow-moving and often takes naps, but is always up for a scientific investigation. He also enjoys singing and dancing with all of his friends in the World Tree. In addition to interacting with the other characters, Snook regularly breaks the fourth wall, often to explain a certain fact or ask a certain question.
- Burdette (performed by Melissa Creighton) is a crested quetzal who sometimes seems like a controlling older sister, who thinks she knows much more than everyone around her. However, Burdette is very sincere, and while investigating things with her friends in the World Tree, she's sometimes surprised to learn new things about herself too.
- Bob (performed by James Godwin) is a southern tamandua who loves studying 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.
- Smooch (performed by Aymee Garcia) and Winslow (performed by Tyler Bunch) are two playful sibling monkeys - common marmosets to be exact - who're always stirring things up. Smooch is always trying to figure out the mysteries of the world around her, and Winslow is the goofy creative thinker.

- Oko (performed by Peter Linz) is an old brown howler and a trickster who always shows up when least expected. Oko can be a bit grouchy and mischievous, but he also shares mysterious stories and little bits of wisdom with the others.

He has a good friend named Tsetse, who sometimes gives good advice.
- Wartz (performed by Tim Lagasse) is a red-eyed tree frog. Wartz has gone through his metamorphosis, growing from a tadpole into a frog in the very first episode. He is best friends with Smooch and Winslow and wants to get along with everyone and will agree with anyone, no matter what they're saying.
- Ick (performed by Tim Lagasse) is a redtail catfish who lives in the pond under the world tree. He's slightly crabby and mischievous, as shown through his love of playing pranks on whoever he comes across.
