Zebra can hardly contain his excitement when he receives a dinner party invite from Lion - the king of the jungle!
Elephant on the other hand is more sceptical about Lion's motives. She sets out to prevent Zebra from going to the party, but Zebra thinks Elephant is jealous because she hasn't been invited!
Elephant tries to keep Zebra busy and in the meantime the invitation blows across the savanna... leading Porcupine and Rhino to believe it is addressed to them.
Lion is less than impressed when the wrong guests arrive at his party. When clever Elephant disguises herself as Zebra, Lion also ends up very squashed and confesses all.
Zebra is truly sorry for how he treated his friend Elephant and is grateful to her for saving his life.

The fifth animal in the hilarious AWESOME ANIMALS series – awesome adventures with the wildest wildlife.
From the author of the hilarious WORLD OF NORM series comes the first of two crazy koala capers.
You might think that koalas are boring, just because all they do is eat eucalyptus leaves and sleep. For 19 hours a day. But you’d be wrong. They’re not boring. They’re just LAZY. They’re chilling, basically, kicking back and catching some rays in the treetops, and staying out of trouble.
At least, that’s what our cool koala buddies Dude and Bro, and little brother Squirt WERE doing, till one day they wake up to find they’ve missed their transfer from the koala sanctuary to the zoo across town, and will now have to find their own way there before Mum and Dad find out they’re missing.
Can they make it across town in their stolen zoo buggy or will the day end in one great big koala calamity?
