Umko's Story

Umko is a clever, playful and curious little robot who lives on a green planet far, far away, in the deepest depths of the Galaxy. It's a planet that hasn't been discovered by astronomers, and only a few can see it. Why, you ask? Well, Umko shows his planet only to his best friends, and only those who believe in him can really see it.

Umko's adventurous spirit takes him to many different stars and planets where he learns about distant worlds and makes friends with creatures who live there. His supersonic cosmic sneakers let him fly anywhere he wants, leaving a trail of sparkling stars behind. Ocassionally, he even visits the Earth. It's one of his favourite places to discover.

Umko enjoys meeting wild animals on every continent on Earth, and he gets along with them really well. Lions, bears, tigers, elephants, crocodiles... It's hard to find an animal that Umko hasn't met yet. Some time ago, in Africa, he even climbed up the neck of a giraffe when trying to put on a scarf he made for her. And once he took part in a swimming competition between crocodiles in the Amazon river!

Umko enjoys meeting new people, animals and plants. If you're one of those, why not become his friend? Through this website, you can even send a starmail to Umko. It works just like email, but it's intergalactic and travels much faster, at the speed of light!
