Most robots just waddle about on mechanical legs or roll around on caterpillar tracks, but Alexander was built with rockets so he can soar through the sky! To be honest though, he hasn’t actually soared much higher than three feet so far. He’s more of a hoverer really. But he’s just being cautious. Flying takes a lot of practice. If you do it wrong you can give yourself a pretty nasty dent. He’ll be rocketing through the clouds soon, but as everyone is always telling him; you’ve got to hover before you can fly.

Busy, busy, busy! Svenja loves to keep herself busy. Busy doing what? Well actually, no one is really sure. Some say she’s writing another steamy romance novel, others are sure she’s rounding-up missing shopping trolleys for the local supermarket, but many are convinced she’s making banana strudel for the entire forest. Whatever it is, it certainly is keeping her very busy. Occasionally, when Svenja isn’t busy doing whatever it is she’s doing, you can find her in the park busily walking Blinky, her hover-pug.

Lucas admits he may have gotten a bit blubbery over the winter, so he’s eating nothing but tiny krill and swimming for miles everyday to get in shape. It’s not that he’s vain, he just wants to look good for his fans. Twirling, singing, spouting, Lucas tries to put on a good show for the boatloads of people that come out to watch him each summer, and dancing around in front of a crowd like that can make a whale quite self-conscious. He just needs to lose five or six tons and then he’ll be looking hot!

Nigel has a taste for the finer things. He’s a connoisseur of all things floating in the ocean. He can talk for hours about the wonderful chewiness of a North Atlantic fisherman’s boot, or the foamy crunchiness of an Australian surfboard. Nigel is also a devoted fan of opera and considers himself to be quite an exceptional singer. Fortunately for the other animals in the forest, Nigel does most of his singing underwater.
