Synopsis
Timmon, a hungry young giraffe with a penchant for trouble, wanders far from home in search of breakfast. And trouble is never far away on the African Savannah, where dogs and lions are on the hunt and dangers lurk around every corner. As the search for food takes Timmon farther and farther from safety, the youngster meets a grasshopper who can't jump and a dog who is vision-impaired. Could it be the start of a new friendship, or will they let their differences keep them apart?
