Tientallen dieren passeren de revue. We maken een wereldreis langs de giraffes, olifanten en leeuwen van de jungle, de kwallen en walvissen in de diepzee, via beverdammen en spinnenwebben belanden we bij koala’s, panda’s en vuurvliegjes… Er is zoveel te zien en zoveel om je over te verwonderen dat het is als in de echte dierenwereld: je raakt nooit uitgekeken en je wilt steeds weer terug.
