Biography[]
When Bert moved from Metropolis, he was lucky enough to become the permanent houseguest of Ralph, his childhood friend. Since then, life at the Raccoondominium has never been the same.
Because of his cocky personality, he could possibly be the youngest of the three main raccoons, despite the fact he's somewhat taller than Ralph and Melissa.
Personality[]
Hockey star, baseball legend, go-cart guru, rock 'n roll star, peanut butter lover, ace reporter - Raccoon Extraordinaire! You name it, Bert has done it. Sometimes well, sometimes not so well! Bert is the best at whatever he tries (well at least according to him). Bert tells his friends and anyone who will listen, that he is one of the greatest raccoons who ever lived!
One thing everyone knows for sure - Bert is the "best friend" anyone could ask for! He has a great big heart and he is the first to come to anyone's aid in the Evergreen Forest. And they all know that with the crazy adventures that happen in the Evergreen Forest, Bert Raccoon is never far behind with his trusty peanut butter.
His favorite catchphrase is "Yahoo!".
Appearances[]
Bert has appeared in all specials, episodes and a reboot since his debut. He is also the only one of the three main raccoons to have spoken in every episode of the original seires.
