## Summary

The episode opens with Fishtronaut and Marina building a shelter to protect lambs from the wind and the rain. Suddenly, the wind occurs as the lambs enter the shelter while the trio decides to pick some blackberries. Suddenly, a P.O.P. arrives towards the trio

**P.O.P. Clues:** a vacuum hose and a safety pin

Receiving the clues, Zeek thought the safety pin reminds him of a spiny-tailed lizard as the trio decides to find some spiny animals, like a porcupine, a spiny-tailed lizard, or a sea urchin. Meanwhile, a mother elephant is telling her son that she needs to rest and find a new friend to play with soon. Back to Marina and Fishtronaut, it is revealed that there is nothing wrong with the porcupine and the sea urchin. Zeek then arrives towards the two as he found out that spiny-tailed lizards refuse to wake up and injured Zeek's finger when they were angry with him. Marina then reveals that the reason why the spiny-tailed lizards are sleeping is because they are hibernating for the winter. Fishtronaut is curious what the vacuum hose clue means and after pulling the vacuum hose from Zeek's nose, he says that this nose reminds him of a long-nosed monkey or an elephant as the trio decides to find and talk to a long-nosed animal.

Back to the elephant calf, her mother says that he is old enough to take a bath independently and his mother will have another calf to take care of. The elephant calf is unhappy that is mother won't give him a bath. Suddenly, the elephant calf leaves Elephant Corner after being upset about being independent. The trio arrives at Elephant Corner as the mother elephant is worried that she is looking for her son. She then explains that her son is four-years old, considering that African elephants live up to 60 to 70 years. Marina asks her to know if her son knows how to find his way around the park. She then explains that her son is with one of them, since there are lots of females in the herd that take care of her son as she asks them to find her son. Fishtronaut then asks her to know if anything happened to make him run away; the mother elephant says that she wanted to give her son a bath so he could be used to it, because she won't have time for him with his little brother on his way. She is also worried that her son must be found before dusk.

With advice from the females, the mother also couldn't find the stuffed elephant his son sleeps with. The trio decides to find the missing calf by looking for footprints and peanuts. Fishtronaut then reveals the last peanut Zeek saw as the same type of peanut that they eat at Elephant Corner. The trio decides to look for peanuts before ants take them and before it gets dark to find the missing calf. Upon finding some peanuts, we see footprints from the elephant calf's muddy feet. The path ends at the cave; the trio found the elephant calf inside the cave. It is revealed that the calf is very jealous about what his mother said. After mentioning about peanut butter, the calf leaves the cave but refuses to return to Elephant Corner.

Meanwhile at the lake, the calf drinks water as Marina explains that elephants can drink up to 200 litters of water a day. Fishtronaut decides to find his mother that he found her son while Marina decides to convince him to return home. Back with Marina and Zeek, the calf explains that the reason why he refuses to return home is because of a new baby brother in the herd. It is also known that the calf thinks he is being replaced by a new brother and Marina convincing him didn't work. She then sees a mother duck and her ducklings as Fishtronaut sees them playing with each other without complaining. Fishtronaut then explains that when the calf has a new friend, he also has many stuff to teach him. The calf decides to return to his mother about important stuff to his new brother. Reuniting the calf with his mother, the calf tells her what Fishtronaut, Marina, and Zeek convinced him to do after seeing the ducklings on the lake. Meanwhile, the trio teaches the calf about a little lake for playing and teaching his little brother to swim. The trio and the elephant herd decide to build a little lake as shown in the blueprint. Having built the lake, another P.O.P. arrives towards the trio.

**P.O.P. Rewards:** an elephant fountain

Receiving the reward, Fishtronaut puts the fountain for the little lake for the enrichment to be more fun.
