Brittany and Anga visit a colony of African Penguins on Boulders Beach, just outside of Cape Town. They walk with the penguins and observe them as they go about their daily rituals: building nests, protecting their chicks from predators, frolicking in the sea and clumsily maneuvering the rocky landscape which they share with Dassie Rats, the closest living relatives of elephants.

A herd of hippos lounge in the river and guard their territory as alligators lurk close by. In this episode we learn many interesting facts about the hippos and their behaviour.

On the outskirts of the rain forest they also discover a cheetah and her four-month old cubs as they feed on a fresh kill.
