It's time to get... Buck-Wild!
~ Buck's most famous quote.
♫POP goes the weasel!♫
~ Buck singing during his battle with Rudy
♫I am the pint-sized protector of this lost world! But my friends call me Buck.♫
~ Buck singing in the style of "Largo Al Factotum" about protecting the Dinosaur World

Buckminster (simply known as Buck Wild) is a major character in the Ice Age franchise.

He is a British accented weasel that lives in an underground dinosaur world when he fell into it, many years ago. He lost one of his eyes in a past encounter to Rudy, but survived and swears revenge.

He is voiced by Simon Pegg, who also played Montgomery Scott in the Star Trek trilogy, Nicholas Angel in Hot Fuzz, Reepicheep in The Chronicles of Narnia: The Voyage of the Dawn Treader, Benji Dunn in the Mission: Impossible franchise, Alternate Montgomery Scott in the alternate reality of Stark Trek, and Curator in Ready Player One in the films and the show, and by James Patrick Stuart in the video game, Shaun in Shaun of the Dead

Biography[]

When he was younger, Buck fell into the world of dinosaurs and got into trouble within a few seconds. He landed right in front of his nemesis Rudy, who attempted to kill him with his claw, but only got his right eye. Buck ran until he was able to climb up a tree, where he got a leaf and wrapped it around his eye like an eye patch. He was right above the eye of the hurricane when his enemy Rudy rose above the clouds and swallowed Buck whole to make his grim meal.

Buck was still alive, however. Before he could get swallowed, he grabbed onto Rudy's uvula and launched himself out, as well as punching one of Rudy's teeth out on his way. He then turned it into a knife that he uses in battle and decided to live in the Dinosaur World.

Appearance[]

Buck is a reddish-brown weasel with a long body, tail and short legs. He has a tan stomach with brownish spots on it. His body is long enough to twist around itself and has an overbite, with bottom fang showing. His most known trait is his right eye patch made from a leaf. When he had both eyes, they were bright blue.

Personality and Traits[]

Buck is a brave, intelligent, mischievous, heroic, slick, and protective weasel. He was so flexible that he could use it in any fighting scenario. He helps the gang get back home and retrieve Sid, but due to his tragic past, he seems a little insane and starts to have an obsession with catching Rudy. He also speaks with a slight, wet lisp.
