Again, I repeat this thread is only for profiles. ANY QUESTIONS MUST BE POSTED IN THE PAGE. But I suggest you follow it. =)

Before posting a profile, read these general information about some of the animals first.

PENGUINS were the main attraction in the Avileah Zoo.

Specific Penguins:

Galapagos Penguins are calm penguins. When they heard about what was taking place, they are the ones who try to bring peace of mind to the other penguins around. They are not nervous about the dilemma; they are penguins who live at the equator.

Emperor Penguins are the penguins who are most disturbed by the news. They live in the arctic and they cannot live within warm areas. They are the ones who are pushing the escape because mainly of their needs.

Magellanic Penguins are those who are opposed to the escape plan. They'd rather be sold than go back to Chile and die of the oil spills.

MEERKATS penguins' worst enemies. But since they, too, need to escape, they join forces with them for only this one time.

LEMURS are (sorry, Mazzi) brainless creatures. They are part of the escape, but beware, they might spill out secrets or ruin plans.

GOATS are neutral animals. They won't hurt or help.

TIGER fierce but friendly. They are the Penguins' pets.

DOGS are the zookeepers pals. They are enemies. They guard the zoo at night, and they will attract commotion once they sense open cages.

Name: King Julien XIII

Gender: Male

Animal: Ring-tailed lemur

Age: 17

Years in the zoo: 1

Personality: King Julien is a ring-tailed lemur. He has named himself king and lives a self-centered life. He is constantly looking to be the center of attention and doesn't mind sacrificing his friends to get out of trouble. He loves to dance, party, and listen to music. King Julien is usually selfish and demanding, and assumes his ideas are better then others. He often noisily and unintentionally annoys pretty much everyone. King Julien is the ultimate party animal who is always looking for fun. He has a totally opposite philosophy than the penguins and often goes head to head against them. He butts in on the penguins' missions or gets upto trouble himself, however, King Julien has helped them and saved their little penguin behinds a few times. Although King Julien likes to socialize with anyone he will always take the penguins side and because of this dosen't speak to the meerkats much.

History: King Julien ruled over a great colony of lemurs in Madagascar with charisma and certainly little ability to lead. His main skill lies in delegating; telling other people what they should do.
Only Mort and Maurice truly believe and respect King Julien as their king; everyone else just humoured him. Mort responds to everything, that King Julien tells him to do (as "I like...", followed by whatever King Julien said.)

A ship came aboard Madagascar one day, taking many animals, the lemurs fled away from these people. But King Julien in his big-headedness thought he could drive the humans away, he went right up to a human but got laughed at and got dragged into a wooden box. Maurice and Mort, still loyal at one of Madagascar's darkest days went after King Julien and got captured and to there relief, shared the same box as King Julien. King Julien thought he was going to die, making a big thing about how the lemurs betrayed him and how he would never protect them again. When the box opened again he was in a zoo, he had heard of these zoo's, you show off too the humans and you get a home and food. He met many animals but took the most interest in the penguins and straight away wanted to join in with there missions and be there leader. He made himself King of The Zoo, some obey him, most don't.

Flaws: Big headed, makes something sound worst than it is. Doesn't take orders, much, if not at all.


Strengths: King Julien has two loyal subjects at his command, Maurice, his right hand man and Mort and incredibly annoying mouse lemur. He also keeps his cool more than other lemurs and can control panic. Some animals also obey him in the zoo.

Abilities: He has Maurice and Mort at his side to do his bidding. He also is very athletic and can hang (with his tail) and hide in trees, he is also a very good at jumping from long distances.

~~~You know me, I'm going to be a goat. ;D I might take up a different animal, later too. One that's not on the list if that's alright?


Name: Bobo

Gender: Male

Animal: Got

Age: 22 (goat years. I'm not so sure what the equivilent to that would be in people years.)

Years in the zoo: 1- 1/2

Personality: Bobo is a friendly creature. He's a social-butterfly and takes his time to talk to everybody, penguin, meercat or otherwise. He's good-natured and hates to fight, let alone watch others do it. He's afraid of being sold-- but as he keeps saying, "If worst comes to worst I'll go out with my head held high." (Now, if they actually find a way out, he'll come, too. He just doesn't want anybody on his bad side.) Bobo is far from timid, and some might even see him as brave. He is, however, scared to death of being left alone in the dark, one of the other goats in his pen (A mean billy-goat named Bulky) and not having enough to eat. Which brings us to his horrible eating habbits. Like most goats, Bobo will eat just about anything. It's especially bad if he's nervous or stressed out. He thrives off of friends, and doesn't want to see anybody go anywhere. He's torn between trying to find a way to keep everybody together and just leaving well enough alone.

History:: Bobo was born to a farmer and was supposed to be sent to the slaughter house. That is, until he started showing decent talent. He stood up quicker than most goats, and without being told to, he tended to stumble around on two legs for a couple of steps.

Bobo knew what he was doing, even if the farmers assumed he was a dumb animal. His mother, Polly, saw her little baby Bobo and decided he was worth something. And so she trained him at night in secret, claiming that Bobo's deceased father used to be a circus goat. (Which he was, mind you. The star of the animals after the elephant and lion.)

Noticing his talent, the zoo put out an offer for him. Both because he might be able to attract more visitors and because the manager took a strange liking to him. He's trained hard and has mastered quite a few tricks, which he would perform on an almost-daily basis... until the people stopped arriving. Now he performs whenever a few walk customers into the zoo at all.

Flaws: As was said before, Bobo has horrible eating habbits-probably worse than most goats. He stress-eats excessively, and has had many a poison-scare in the past. You'd think he'd learn... but he doesn't. Which brings us to the fact that Bobo doesn't usually learn from his mistakes. He keeps repeating them over and over again (with the exception of his tricks) until somebody threatens to snap his neck in half. He's deathly afraid of lonely, dark spaces and being deserted. He lets Bulky push him around, and never does anything about it. He's also naive, and since he hates disappointing, he never says no when somebody asks him to do something-- no matter how ridiculous it is. (Which means he might end up helping one of the two sides or both without even relizing it.)

Strengths: Bobo is excellent with his tricks. He can hand stand, walk on his two back feet, twirl, do different balancing acts, and what could be called goat-acrobatics. He's an excellent climber and very fast for his size. He is easy to befriend, and his sweet nature gets a lot of humans to sympathize with him. Or... the zookeepers anyways.

Abilities: Goat acrobatics, of course. Standing and walking on his hind-legs, doing handstands on his front legs, twirling on either pair. Dozens of little tricks he's learned over the years. He can scale steep slopes with ease and jump high obstacles.

Species: Lipizzaner Horse

Side: Four

Name: Gypsy

Gender: Female

Animal: Horse (Lipizzaner)

Age5 years (35 horse years)

Years in the zoo: 5

Personality: Being old didn't slow her down! She LOVES to play. She plays now, later, earlier, after, tomorrow, and time she can. It doesn't matter if you are busy or not! She's very eccentric. She's like a puppy, only five times the size. She's bubbly, and loves all animals; she doesn't seem to notice or care about the predator-prey differential. She's almost been eaten several times for being too energetic.

History: She was bred, not for a cage animal, but for a show. She's trained fully by the horse masters. She's a very fast learner. Her trainer was very harsh to her. She's been in many shows and is a main star.

Flaws: Her club-foot; Doesn't know when to stop playing; Doesn't know when to stop talking; Very annoying; Not the sharpest nail in the box.

Strengths: Strong and dependable. Fast.

Abilities: A Fast runner and lovable to humans. she can jump high and can swim well.

The SB has officially started. Please note that I am the only one who can change the day. Thanks!

Name: Jengo

Gender: Male

Animal: Meerkat

Age: 5 (Don't know how that would translate, maybe early-mid twenties?)

Years in the zoo: 2

Personality: Jengo is a very social animal, as most meerkats are. He doesn't get along too well with dogs or penguins for various reasons, though he will tolerate them as long as they don't do something to provoke him.

Jengo enjoys being the center of attention and will do silly, sometimes ridiculous things in order to attract said attention and make people laugh. Often times this will involve him doing things on a dare, such as: Chugging mustard, pulling the hair off of an elephant or jumping on the heads of multiple penguins in a row.

When it comes to emotions Jengo is pretty open about how he feels, often to the point of bluntness. He lacks tact in certain situations and when these situations arise, he will likely do one of two things: Remain sensibly quiet or open his mouth and make a fool of himself. When he figures out, or is told, that he has offended someone because of his lack of tact, he will often show remorse. Only if he thinks he was at fault though.

This brings us to another thing. Jengo is stubborn. Yes, he is very loving and caring of others, but when he thinks he is right then he can has the chance to become sort of mean. This often comes from the pride he has in his intelligence, which isn't really as great as he believes.

History: Jengo lived in South Africa before he was found locked up in a port-o-potty and was then rescued and taken to the zoo. A few Dutch kids thought that it would be funny to lure him into the port-o-potty with peanuts, only to lock him in there and then run away laughing. This is pretty common knowledge around the zoo, as there are a few of his meerkat friends who have very large mouths.

Flaws: He's pretty stubborn when he thinks he's right, and can become pretty nasty in a heated argument. Also, he is very prideful in his intellectual capabilities as well as the color of his fur. That's right. Instead of the regular dirt brown, he thinks his fur is more chocolate brown. No one else notices this but him, but he doesn't care.

Also, he is missing a toe in his left hind leg. He lost it when the kids slammed the port-o-potty on him. Due to the port-o-potty incident, Jengo is also very uncomfortable in any cramped space that is not a tunnel. Tunnels he is okay with, probably due to instinct and such, but put him in an air vent and he'll probably have some sort of breakdown.

Strengths: Jengo's stubbornness proves awesome at times, because he actually is right occasionally. Along with that, he is a very social and loving person and will give everybody the benefit of the doubt when the occasion arises. That is unless you make fun of his fur or intelligence. No telling what he'll do then.

He is pretty fast and has nimble fingers.

Abilities: He is pretty good at leaping from things to things. Whether it be penguin heads or tree branches, this meerkat loves to jump. He doesn't like to go up very high though, he isn't suited to be in the tops of the trees

When he was rescued and arrived at the zoo, he vowed that he would never get locked up in something again. So, a wise baboon taught him the art of picking locks. No idea how picking locks would get him out of a port-o-potty, because they have weird and different locks, but it makes him feel better.
