East Africa. It’s the time of the great wildebeest migration. Hundreds of thousands of them are gathered on the grasslands of the Serengeti Plain, waiting to set off on the next stage of their epic trek. For one impatient wildebeest, he spends the time rushing about telling everyone how wonderful he is; the biggest, bravest wildebeest ever; with the strongest, curliest curly horns; the thickest, bushiest bushy beard; the longest, swishiest swishy tail, which is how he got his name: Mr Wildeboast. Eventually, they set off. It’s a long journey, takes many months and is fraught with many dangers, like hungry lions and crocodiles. In September, they reach the banks of the Mara River, where, after all his posturing, Mr Wildeboast is faced with a sudden and terrible truth. He can’t swim! But, to survive, he has to cross the river…

Doug is a dung beetle and poo is his life! Right now, Doug is facing a race against time to save his new poo ball from the sudden rains lashing down on the plains of the Serengeti National Park in Kenya. With the help of his lovely wife, Delilah, they roll their poo ball into a hollow in an old, abandoned anthill where bad things happen, including a ferocious fight with Burt the Bully, falling through the crumbling floor of the anthill and nearly drowning, then being wooshed out as the anthill collapses. The rain stops, the sun comes out. Amazingly, their poo ball is still intact, until a passing zebra squishes and squashes it flat as a pancake! Trouble is, Delilah is pregnant. She desperately needs a poo ball in which to lay her eggs. Doug now needs to make another poo ball, and fast! Will he make it in time?
