FFFBI

The FFFBI was created in the 1950s during the Tepid War, which was very much like the Cold War, only 12 degrees warmer. For reasons known only to themselves, CRUST had begun to hoard various cheeses. In retaliation, a secret cracker-hoarding group was formed to counteract CRUST's appetizer capabilities. Later, when the SNACC accords were signed (Supplying Normal Access to Cheese and Crackers), this secret society had nothing else to do, so they decided to form the FFFBI and fight for Truth, Justice, and Stuff Like That. To learn more, read the fascinating and in-depth Agent Profiles.

Bunkum & Codswallop

This amphibious investigative duo leapt into the public eye in the early 1970s when they broke the Ottergate scandal (river otters were disguising themselves as sea otters). As a result of this team's research and reporting, President Vixen was force to resign. Their informant — known only as "Deep Trout" — has never been exposed. Since then, Bunkum and Codswallop have set their sights on answering an even bigger question: just what is the FFFBI up to, and why is it so... weird?

CRUST

Heck-bent on conquering Mars, the Confederacy of Rascals and Unspeakably Suspicious Troublemakers is made up of crustaceans — crabs, lobsters, prawns, and potato bugs — along with hench-animals of various species. CRUST is known both for its intricate and convoluted plots, and for the fact that no one knows the true identity of its leader.

Cyber-Toothed Tigers

The CTT are led by Skip Intro, the most charismatic boss of a crime syndicate ever. Other tigers want to be him. Other species want to be with him. No one is immune from his charms — not even the Agents of the FFFBI. He's just so darn cool! But beware: when Skip and his Tigers are up to their cutting-edge naughtiness, no electronics or computer networks are safe.

Sandwich-Faced Daddy's Boys

The SFDB are led, oddly enough, by "Ma" Parker, a gnu with an attitude. What's driven them to a life of crime? Frankly, they're just ticked off about their name (all the good gang names were already taken). The SFDB are known for their speed — slogan: "All the Gnus That's Fit to Sprint" — despite the fact that they are headquartered above the Gnu Deli, a sandwich shop that serves both as a front and as their not-so-healthful cafeteria.

CIIIA

The Clean-cut and Impossibly Intelligent Interspecies Agency: they're well-dressed, well-spoken, and... well, nobody can stand them. Even their teeth are perfect, for cod's sake! Ooh, they're just so smug! They never miss a chance to show how superior they are, and the FFFBI never misses a chance to show them up. (Actually, the FFFBI misses quite a few chances, but we won't go into that right now.)

Scotland Barnyard

Nicknamed "The Old Bull," the bovine officers of Scotland Barnyard have kept English livestock safe since the early 1800s. The Yard made its name by capturing Beak and Hare, a notorious crow and rabbit grain-robbing duo. Since then, the crack detectives have solved mystery after mystery (including the mysterious "Mystery of Why There are Suddenly So Many Mysteries"). The FFFBI often relies on intelligence from these London-based partners in crime fighting.

InterPoultry

International Poultry Police, based in Paris. These chickens, ducks, geese and (unfortunately) a few turkeys are experts in fighting crime in the European Union. From stolen nest eggs to other plots most fowl, the agents of InterPoultry are there to lend a wing.

WGBH

One of PBS' premier producing stations, WGBH enriches people's lives through programs and services that educate, inspire, and entertain, fostering citizenship and culture, the joy of learning, and the power of diverse perspectives. Despite all that, they still helped fund this FFFBI project.
