Answer 1

Marsupilami is the name of the creature.

Marsupilami is a fictional comic book animal created by André Franquin in 1952. It first appeared in the popular Belgian comic book series Spirou et Fantasio. When Franquin left the strip in 1970, he took the character with him. In the late 1980s, the Marsupilami got its own successful spin-off series of comic albums, Marsupilami, written by Greg, Yann and Dugomier and drawn by Batem. Later, two cartoon shows featuring this character, as well as a Sega Genesis video game and lots of other merchandise followed.

The name is a portmanteau of the words marsupial, Pilou-Pilou (the French name for Eugene the Jeep, a character Franquin loved as a kid) and ami, the French word for friend.

Marsupilami's adventures had been translated to several languages, like Dutch, German, Spanish and several Scandinavian languages. There are only two albums in English featuring Marsupilami, Spirou and Fantasio number 15 and 16, translated by Fantasy Flight Publishing in the mid-90s, although they're currently out of print.

Appearance

Marsupilami plush toyThe marsupilami is a black-spotted yellow monkey-like creature of which some specimens are known to have a form of melanism, causing them to resemble black panthers, meanwhile other marsupilamis lack spots altogether. The young of the main couple are a good example of how marsupilamis exhibit these different traits: female Bibi has spots, male Bibu does not, while the other male, Bobo, has black fur.

The species originates from the tropical forests of Palombia, a fictional country in South-America. Though resembling monkeys, marsupilamis have many unique traits: they're egg-laying mammals, similar to monotremes, have bellybuttons, are able to breathe underwater, and each adult has a 7-metre-long tail. This tail can be curled on itself into a ball, which the marsupilami uses to "punch" enemies or predators or it can be coiled in a spring, which the creature uses to make 30-metre-high jumps. Also, similar to particular birds, such as parrots and different corvids, the Marsupilami has been known to imitate simple words and sentences of human speech. The marsupilami is also noted for its strength, as the creature is easily capable of pulverising rocks with a good strike of its tail, as well as cracking coconuts with his fists. Marsupilamis are omnivorous and build clam-shaped nests made of vines and branches, and filled with feathers plucked from local birds and parrots. A marsupilami living in a cold country will adapt himself by growing thicker fur during winter.

Female marsupilamis have tails a bit shorter than the males, and they also walk on their toes, like if they were wearing heels. Also males make a "houba" sound, whereas females make a "houbi" sound.

Disney cartoon
Disney's version of the marsupilami first appeared on television in Raw Toonage in 1992, and was then spun off into his own eponymous show on the CBS network. Marsupilami's supporting characters included Maurice the Gorilla, Stuie the Elephant, Eduardo the Jaguar, Norman the Poacher, and other characters. The original Marsupilami stories by Franquin never encountered a gorilla or elephant, since these species are native to Africa, while the marsupilami originates from South America.

Reruns of the show were aired on both Disney Channel and Toon Disney.


[edit] Marathon cartoon
A second series, this time produced in France, premiered in March 2000 and ran for 52 episodes in France's Canal J. Produced by Cactus Animation, Marathon Production & Marsu Productions, this series more closely followed the character in the original comic.

In the first season, Marsupilami lived adventures alone, or with his family (his wife Marsupilamie and their three young, Bibi, Bibu and Bobo). For example, in one episode he saved a group of circus animals, got them back to the city and saved the circus from closing. In another, he had to go to the city again to save one of his youngs, captured by their constant enemy, the hunter Bring M. Backalive.


Marsupilami and Leo from the opening sequence of My Friend MarsupilamiIn the second season, called My friend Marsupilami, Marsupilami and his family become best friends with a human family that comes to live near them. Amanda is a Marsupilami researcher, while her husband is a computer technician that works from home and they have two children, Leo and toddler Zoe. Leo and Marsupilami become best friends and they have lots of adventures, with both new friends and old enemies, like Backalive.

This series has been broadcasted in several countries, like Germany (Super RTL), Belgium (RTL TVI), Canada (Télé-Quebec), Spain (Antena 3, Disney Channel and Toon Disney), Finland (MTV3), Cyprus (Cyprus Broadcasting), Greece (Alter Channel), Ireland (RTE), Italy (Italia Uno), Portugal (Prisvideo), Switzerland (TSR), Russia (THT Network), Hungary (Minimax), Slovenia (RTV), Morocco (2M Soreheads), Turkey (Sar-An), Mexico (TV Azteca), Brazil (TV Globo), Venezuela (RCTV), Indonesia (RCTI), Malaysia (Solimac), the Africa Pansat (CFI), and Latin America (MVS), the Near East and Middle East (TV5), Vietnam (Notorious), Thailand (United Broadcasting Corporation) and Iceland (Uppeldi EHF) [1].
