Our Characters
Meet the Animals
Picasso
the Painted Dog
Picasso is the sneakiest of ESR’s characters! He’s so furious that African painted dogs have become endangered — he’s always a second away from smacking someone!
Cleopatra
the Cheetah
Speed is her middle name, so there’s no escaping Cleopatra! She may not be tricky, but her blind rage at the decline of cheetah populations has made her kooky…and dangerous!
Olivia
from Bolivia
This pink dolphin looks cute — but don’t be fooled by her smile! Olivia cleverly hides her anger and uses her intelligence to plot revenge against anyone who harms her friends and family.
Superbear & Panda Girl
Fighting for Fellow Bears
This moon bear and panda fighting duo use their super powers and passion to rescue fellow bears held captive in the horrific “bear bile farming” industry of Asia.
Antonio the Defiant
the Anteater Giant
The self-proclaimed King of the Amazon. A ruthless ruler with few followers. He threatens any person who tries to destroy the jungle - by rearing up on his two back legs and showing off his front hand’s gigantic hooked talons!
Jed & Amanda
the Scheming Red Pandas
These teen & toddler tricksters use their impish ingenuity to confound rivals.
Bertha
the Burrowing Owl
Twice the size of normal burrowing owls, she burrows vast estates below golf courses and sells them for many mice to burrowing owl families who want shade from the tropical Aruban sun. She’s not afraid to throw her weight around against people or invasive boas!
Splash
the Fishing Cat
Unlike other cats, Splash loves water, swimming...and fishing! He drenches people with his ungraceful leaps into rivers, and by drumming his paws like a wildcat! He delivers underwater bites when particularly upset!
Wendel Whaleshark
& Sally Saw Fish
Even though Wendel is the biggest fish in the ocean, he’s terrified of the romantic advances of spiky Sally! Nonetheless, they team up to fight for fishkind!
Meet the Humans
Carbonita
AKA Anita
The brilliant young environmental scientist Anita, whose disastrous lab experiment to reverse climate change transforms her into the sinister, climate-change-loving Carbonita! As Carbonita, she seeks to destroy the environment – fueled by a repressed psychotic rage against her parents, who forced her to donate her allowance to save Mexican pygmy raccoons. Each madcap episode teaches youth 12-25 crucial ecological lessons!
Smyke
Make Smyke Smart
Smyke is not smart. But, he’s not such a bad guy. He just doesn’t know anything about animals. When he learns lessons about animals…he becomes Smart Smyke! It’s ESR’s job to “Make Smyke Smart!” TM. Each amusing episode teaches kids and their parents about a new endangered animal.
Winey Pierre
Pierre hurls insults at those who urge him not to turn more natural habitat into grazing land for his cows, or into vineyards. The destruction of habitat due to livestock production and agriculture is the greatest reason for population declines in most wild animal species.
Nigel Dungsworth
The know-it-all British conservationist frequently attacked by animals!
