Hairless Racoon

In the wild, Andrew feeds on fish, sponges, small crustaceans, nematode worms and protozoans.

Benny's diet is very specialized, consisting mainly of the interior of Ramy nuts, nectar from the Traveller's Palm tree, some fungi and insect grubs. He is also known to raid coconut plantations, and has been seen eating lychees and mangoes, which are also plantation crops.

Definitely made by the same people who did the robot penguin. It's the next generation of those plastic frog toys that hop if you press down on them.

Right out of Dr. Seuss.

It hinges between absolutely adorable and profoundly strange. Its eyes seem impossibly large. This may have to do with the adorable reaction since various "How to Draw Manga" books advise that impossibly large eyes add to the cuteness of arbitrary characters.
I cannot read the characters. Seems to be Chinese and not Japanese (no kana, but recognisable as not Korean or Vietnamese).

I died of Cuteness overload. Incredible! I'd love to see it hopping/jumping all over. I bet it can really go the distance with those huge legs. Loved the "tail sucking" episode.

He kind of looks pissed off. Since he appears to be a head with legs, I picture him opening a huge mouth and devouring the camera!
