Zigzag is a thrill-seeking, high-energy bunny with a need for speed that lives in a cozy hutch in Sweetwood. She loves to race and she's self assured, but prone to injury (moves too fast). She has ADHD - so she fidgets sometimes, but it gives her resilience and creativity.
When rabbits are really happy they jump up and twist-it's called doing a binky.
Juno's an adorable, head strong, me-centered baby hippo. She knows exactly what she wants, loves Vida, likes to stop by her office for a quick hug and gets a kick out of Popcorn always giggling at his silly antics. She spends her time in her stone home below the waterfall.
Hippos can close their nostrils and ears to prevent water from entering.
Fergie is a scatterbrained, oblivious little squirrel who lives in a tree stump which features a handy ramp for her back wheels.

Squirrels have pouches in their cheeks where they can store food.

Turtles have webbed feet that help them swim really fast.
