Meet the Knowzies

Six animal friends, one tree house and a thousand questions.

Eddie
The secret hero

Eddie

Small, brave and always the first to sniff out a mystery. When the friends get stuck, Eddie leads the way.

Rumbel
The showman

Rumbel

A big roar and an even bigger heart.

Tamba
The strong one

Tamba

Never forgets a fact. Her trunk is the best tool in the park.

Zeeli
The lookout

Zeeli

Glasses, telescope, sharp eyes. She spots what others miss.

Pila
The inventor

Pila

Pilot and builder of gadgets that test every idea.

Tippo
The question asker

Tippo

Fast, funny and always hanging around upside down.

Who is who?

Super moves, funny habits and the things they never leave home without.

Eddie“Sniff, sniff – this way!”

Eddie

Eddie can see smells! They float through the air like colourful ribbons, and he follows them to every mystery.

Super move
Propeller take-off: his curly tail spins so fast that he lifts off the ground.
So funny
He steals Tippo's cap and starts the wildest chase in the park.
Always with
A compass and a tiny radio that only goes beep-boop.
Rumbel“That was totally the plan!”

Rumbel

Rumbel wants to be the bravest lion ever. When he is scared, his roar is just a tiny squeak.

Super move
The Mega Roar: leaves swirl, water ripples and the whole park echoes – but only when he is brave for a friend.
So funny
He gets scared of his own shadow and then pretends he meant to growl at it.
Always with
The Courage Lamp, a big old flashlight.
Tamba“I remember!”

Tamba

Tamba is the strongest friend in the park, and the kindest. She never forgets a thing.

Super move
The Trunk Fountain: a water jet as exact as a fire hose.
So funny
Her trunk warmer always gives the wrong thing first. Oops – not a sock!
Always with
A red-and-white lifebuoy for every rescue.
Zeeli“Look closer.”

Zeeli

Zeeli sees everything from way up high. Her little bird Peep lives on her head and always has something to say.

Super move
Tower View: when she finds a clue, her spots turn into arrows, suns and drops.
So funny
Her long neck gets tied in a knot when she looks in too many directions.
Always with
A brass star telescope and a notebook full of pictures.
Pila“Let's build it!”

Pila

Pila is a penguin who can't fly. So every day she builds a brand-new flying machine.

Super move
Belly Drift: she slides on her tummy, takes the corner and stops right on the spot.
So funny
After every test she stands in a cloud of soot. Only her goggles are clean. Okay – version two!
Always with
The Wonder Lens: it can zoom in, look inside things and see through walls.
Tippo“But why?”

Tippo

Tippo is the most curious monkey in the world. Almost every adventure starts with one of his questions.

Super move
Vine Flip: he swings from vine to vine, his cap flies off and his tail catches it.
So funny
He measures everything in bananas. That's as heavy as twenty bananas!
Always with
The Question Skateboard – and he always wears his helmet.

Every episode, three steps

Each story starts with a question kids really ask.

1

Something strange happens

An apple drops, a box won't move, a drum goes boom. The friends want to know why.

2

They go and find out

Gadgets, experiments, wrong guesses and a lot of jokes on the way.

3

Now everyone knows

The real science, told in clear and simple words that stick.
