Both are shown as either crazy (Rockgut) or incompetent(the Red Squirrel doesn't seem to do anything at all) which represents the way communism and Patriotism (in the extreme form) are seen nowadays: Communism has proven itself as insufficient and the extreme Patriotism is regarded as risible. Also both are obsolete.

GirlyScream (since he has no access to testosterone shots, his male voice must be down to practice, and the shock might have made him forget to keep it up) ...

Lemurs have in fact been known to get high from centipede poison; they don't actually eat the centipedes, just lick them. So if the zoo has a bug exhibit ... gotta admit it would explain a lot.

** That way is not particularly up on widely-accepted transgender etiquette, but maybe they just didn't want to argue with the logic loop. Officially a female's supposed to rule, so he can only rule if he's female, but if he's the ruler he can do whatever he wants including declaring himself male ... Meh, either way they all seem to have ended up happy enough, and in a world where it's apparently fairly common to not notice one's own biological sex and Julien seemingly didn't know how to tell he was a mammal, you can't blame them. Also, he's comfortable enough in his gender identity to dress as a girl on occasion (in the second movie and in the episode where he and the other lemurs were being cheerleaders), so if this is true it seems to be working pretty well for him - then again, dressing in drag may not have the same significance when he normally doesn't wear ''anything.''

That and some other feminine behaviour on his part makes me wonder if he may actually be male-leaning genderqueer (regardless of his actual anatomical configuration), but since the only one who could confirm that is him, we'll never know.

Their adventures are all metaphorical variations on his real escape attempts.]] And now I want fanfic.

Okay, so once upon a time the Red Squirrel was a real player and a two-timing jerk. He decided to date both Nigel and Buck, however they found out and, in tears, both dumped him.The real reason they were hunting the Red Squirrel was that they wanted to confess their feelings. Despite the tragedy, they still loved him, and were determined to find him again. Red, however, felt terribly guilty, and certain they would try to find him and give him a beat-down, he fled the town and hid far away. The acorn thing was just a distraction, to try and fool anyone who questioned his reasons. And when Nigel found him, he was too scared to put himself out there, especially with so many people watching, that he forced himself to act like they had no backstory and were only nemeses.

[[WMG: The penguins are really under Kowalski's control, and the whole thing is just an experiment he's overseeing.]]
They were first used in a scientific experiment to make them moer survivable, and smart.\\
1. Of course the prototype was Rico but the compounds they infused him with didn't make him smart enough but instead he had an excess of testosterone making him human equivalent of ''manly''.\\
2. Next was private, but in response to Rico's problem they set the testosterone too low, and got, well...\\
3. Then was Skipper, so close they were. He was well adjusted, great memory, intelligent enough, and had good leadership qualitys, but they wanted more.\\
4. Finally their greatest acheivement, Kowalski. He showed signs of intelligence that rivaled some human minds, he was a good order taker, and showed excellent leadership qualities.\\
The original testers were all ready to assimilate the ''prototypes'', when Kowalski wrote, in english, on paper, that the four of them looked like the perfect cover, for the perfect Spy Team, with Skipper, the gruff one, as acting leader, until further notice.

** Or, keeping with the transgender theory, maybe he [[AmbiguouslyGay didn't mind the idea of marrying a male as such]] but wouldn't do it because he was expected to get pregnant to provide an heir. That might explain why Maurice must have helped him leave; the idea of Julien reproducing is pretty horrifying, regardless of which biological parent he'd be.
