Ethelbert the Tiger

Ethelbert and Dilip meet a chameleon who tells Ethelbert how special his stripes are.

Ethelbert is watching his cousins playing in the river and wishes that he was able to swim too. The magic raft takes Ethelbert and Dilip to Tasmania where a duck-billed platypus shows Ethelbert how to swim.

Ethelbert wants to live on his own, but when travels to the Arctic, they meet a polar bear who loses his family.

It is raining in the forest and Ethelbert asks Dilip to take him somewhere hot and dry. They travel to Africa where they meet a family of hippopotami who are waiting for the rain to make their water fresh again.

Ethelbert thinks his home is too small. They travel to a beautiful beach where they meet a crab who has outgrown her shell. Ethelbert helps her find a new shell and how lucky he is to have much space Ethelbert wishes he had wings like a bird.

Ethelbert decides to stop grooming himself in an attempt to be a wild animal. Dilip doesn't recognise him for a moment. They travel through the magic waterfall to the African jungle where a friendly gorilla teaches Ethelbert the importance of keeping himself clean.

Ethelbert is bored, so Dilip suggests a trip on the raft, where they travel to Australia and meet three Kangaroos, the Kangaroos have Kangaroo races and they challenge Ethelbert to take part in them.

Ethelbert has had enough of being short, he dreams of being tall. The magic waterfall takes Ethelbert and Dilip to the African Savannah where they meet a giraffe who finds it rather lonely being tall.

Ethelbert is watching his cousins playing in the river and wishes that he was able to swim too. The magic raft takes Ethelbert and Dilip to Tasmania where a duck-billed platypus shows Ethelbert how to swim.

Ethelbert is bored - he can't think of anything to do. Dilip suggests they take a trip on the magic raft. They land in China, again Ethelbert says it is boring, until they meet a very imaginative panda.
