In animation, Zamzoom, a purple alien and his round, blue and orange flying robot friend Orbie go on an intergalactic expedition to planet Earth.

As they both jump on the spaceship, Zamzoom's little alien daughter Zopzee clings on Zamzoom's leg and Zamzoom hugs her goodbye.

The name of the show reads "Zamzoom's Animal Adventures."

Zamzoom says I'M READY TO CHOOSE OUR
NEXT DESTINATION!
BUT TODAY, RATHER THAN
RANDOMLY POKING OUR GLOBE
WITH A PIN, I'M GOING TO
RANDOMLY LAUNCH THIS
PAPER AIRPLANE AND
SEE WHERE IT LANDS.
3...2...1!
WHOA!

Orbie ducks down and says LOOK OUT!

The plane crashes on Zamzoom's nose.

Zamzoom says YOWCHEE!
UM...I'M NOT SURE WE REALLY
NEED TO EXPLORE MY NOSE TODAY.

Orbie says OR EVER!
LET'S GO WHERE THE
PLANE FIRST LANDED.
THE MASSAMARA NATIONAL
RESERVE IN KENYA.

Zamzoom says OOH! THERE ARE ALL KINDS
OF MAGNIFICENT
BIG CREATURES THERE.
LET'S GO!

The spaceship lands on the reserve.

Zamzoom says I WAS EXPECTING TO SEE GIRAFFES,
OR ELEPHANTS...
BUT LOOK! IT'S A BUNCH OF
CUTE LITTLE KITTY-CATS!

Orbie says UHH, I DON'T THINK THOSE
ARE LITTLE KITTY-CATS...
OR EVEN KITTIES FOR THAT
MATTER!

Zamzoom says OKAY, THEY'RE
BIG...REALLY BIG.
LIKE, I'M NOT LETTING ANY OF
THEM CURL UP IN MY LAP BIG.

Orbie says OH. THEY'RE LIONS
KNOWN AS THE KING
OF THE PLAINS.
THEY'RE THE LARGEST OF ALL OF
THE EARTH'S BIG CATS.

Zamzoom says AND THE MOST SOCIAL,
CLEARLY.

Orbie says ACCORDING TO MY DATABASE,
UNLIKE MOST BIG CATS
SUCH AS TIGERS,
JAGUARS AND LEOPARDS,
LIONS HANG OUT IN LARGE GROUPS
OF A DOZEN OR SO CALLED A PRIDE.
PRIDES ARE MOSTLY MADE UP OF
SEVERAL GENERATIONS OF MOMS,
THEIR CUBS AND ONE OR TWO
ADULT MALES.

Zamzoom says SO... LIONS SEEM TO
SPEND AN AWFUL
LOT OF TIME WITH
THEIR MOUTHS DANGLING OPEN.
ARE THEY TRYING TO
CATCH FLIES OR SOMETHING?

Orbie says IT'S VERY HOT HERE,
AND LIONS CAN'T SWEAT
SO THEY PANT TO COOL OFF.

(LION MOANING)
(LION MOANING)

Zamzoom says YIKES! NOT ONLY ARE
THESE CATS BIG,
THEY'RE LOUD TOO!

Orbie says OH WOW! CHECK THIS OUT!
A LION'S ROAR CAN BE HEARD UP
TO 8 KILOMETRES AWAY.
IT'S HOW THE ADULTS TELL ALL THE
OTHER CREATURES OUT THERE
"THIS IS MY TURF!"

Zamzoom says UM...AREN'T WE ON THEIR
TURF RIGHT NOW?

Orbie says ERRR... HOPEFULLY WE'RE
SMALL ENOUGH THAT WE'RE NOT
CONSIDERED MUCH OF A THREAT.
OR MUCH OF A MEAL
FOR THAT MATTER.

Zamzoom says THANKS. YOU'RE
VERY REASSURING.
THEY ALSO LOOK LIKE THEY
CAN RUN REALLY FAST.

Orbie says THEY CAN BE VERY FAST! BUT
ONLY IN VERY SHORT BURSTS
OF ABOUT 100 METRES.
SO AS A RULE THEY
DON'T CHASE THEIR PREY,
THEY PREFER TO SNEAK UP ON IT
AS A GROUP, AND THEN...
POUNCE!!

Zamzoom says AAGH!!
OH! CHECK OUT
THOSE CUBS THERE.
MAYBE THEY'RE PRACTICING
THEIR POUNCING?

Orbie says PERHAPS.

Zamzoom says OKAY, WELL, WATCHING ALL THIS
RUNNING, HUNTING AND POUNCING
IS MAKING ME HUNGRY AND TIRED.
TIME TO HEAD BACK TO THE SHIP
FOR A SNACK AND A NAP.
YOU KNOW, I THINK I WOULD
MAKE A VERY GOOD LION.

Zamzoom roars and then burps.

Orbie says IT'S A
START.

Music plays as the end credits roll.
