Natural Instincts and Traits

Although most of the characters are anthropomorphic, they still have some natural instincts of their real animal counterparts.

Lumpy

 * In Out on a Limb Lumpy mooed like an real moose when he was in pain.

Sniffles

 * Probably one of the most well known instincts is that he tried to eat ants like real anteaters.

Splendid

 * In Helping Helps he was seen harvesting acorns.9086.jpg

The Mole

 * Like most moles, he lives underground.
 * He is blind, the same way most moles are blind or prone to brightness.

Nutty

 * Several times he can be heard making squeaky "chittery" sounds (though he makes a lot of strange sounds when he is on a "sugar high").
 * He able to easily to climb trees in Take a Hike even after stuffing himself with honey.

Lifty and Shifty

 * Like many raccoons, they were seen in a trash dumpster, as seen in As You Wish.
 * Raccoons are born natural theives.

Russell

 * He eats sea food.


 * He can swim and hold his breath for a long time (though in Sea What I Found he was supplied with oxygen, it may have been because he was under water for a very long time).

Cuddles

 * His ears flop down when he is sad.Cuddlesad.jpg
 * In his smoochie and A Bit of a Pickle, he seems to like carrots.

Flaky

 * Although she's anthropomorphic, she has the ability to climb trees (which is a real ability of porcupines) in Take a Hike.

Lammy

 * Sometimes when she talks, screams, or laugh, she bleats like a real sheep.

Flippy

 * He is shown to follow a carnivorous diet like real bears. He is seen drinking the bloody remains of Cuddles (Flippin' Burgers), Mime (Party Animal), and Shifty (Easy For You to Sleigh).
 * In Operation: Tiger Bomb, he makes growling/roaring sounds like real bears when attacking the Tiger General.

The Ants
Moreso than other characters, they seem to be anthropomorphic crossed with non-anthropomorphic animals, (though Sniffles probably wouldn't try to eat them otherwise). Some examples include:
 * They have been seen collecting, like fruit, crumbs, etc.


 * They live in an anthill.


 * They only let family members/certain ants enter their nest.

Buddhist Monkey

 * Many times he makes monkey sounds, most notably right before he begins a fight.
 * Like other monkeys, he is very strong, flexible and athletic.

Char Sui

 * He made snorting sounds a couple of times.
 * He squealed when he was about to die.

Sneaky

 * He can change color and camouflage his body (although this could be with the help of technology, as he becomes entirely invisible, or it may simply be a cartoonish effect.), however, the camouflaging ability in real chameleons is just a coincidence, they normally change colour due to their mood (among other things).
 * He can climb on/stick to walls.
