Professor Ludwig von Drake narrates live action footage and animation about the planet's more unusual animals. Films show the iguanas of the Galapagos Islands and Australia's lungfish, duck-billed platypus, kangaroos and koalas. Cartoons include the story of a cold-blooded penguin and a flying burro (both from The Three Caballeros) and of Goliath II, a pint-sized elephant.
