Treelo is a major protagonist in the 1997 TV series Bear in the Big Blue House. He is a green and white lemur with a red nose, a white and blue striped tail, and blue hands, feet, eyelids, and ears.
Treelo appears as a young lemur with light green fur and a white tummy. He also has a red nose and blue paws, eyelids, and ears. His tail is long and white with light blue rings.
At the start of Season 3, his appearance remains the same with the big difference being his eyelids given black eyeline and the ability to open and close.
As a lemur, Treelo loves swinging from vines and other things and is very energetic. He loves feathers and has a collection of them. He also knows how to wiggle his ears. Treelo speaks in a unique trilling manner that sometimes becomes incoherent, especially when he gets excited. This sort of babbling is sometimes referred to on closed-captioning as "Treeloese".
Treelo seems to be just a bit younger than the other residents of the Big Blue House. He lives there when he's not playing outside. He apparently grew up there too and was raised by Bear, as Bear has memories of taking care of him when he was just a baby.
Treelo enjoys listening to music on the radio and dancing to it. If Treelo sees a radio, he will generally want to turn it on and play music.
Trivia[]
He was originally named "Rollo", but it was changed when it was decided that the name was too similar to Rolie Polie Olie, another Playhouse Disney series premiering at the time. Performer Tyler Bunch came up with the new name "Treelo".[1]
