| Toby is an ape, not monkey. A bonobo that enjoys science and sees the world through skeptical eyes. | Pastor Bear: A loving Christian who wants everyone to share in his love of God—whether they want to or not. | Wilbur: A lefty westie and spiritual environmentalist. He sees himself as the voice of reason when science and religion conflict, but has yet to fully understand either. |

| H.R.: The confidence man/mongoose, whose cynical attitude allows him to make as much money from the gullible animals in the zoo. | Thomas is a good tortoise who always tries to do the right thing. He looks up to Pastor Bear as a mentor, which is not always the best thing. | Clemens: A bulldog of a monkey, who has no patience for faith and unreason. A happy warrior he is not, but he does enjoy it. |
