It takes a lot of energy to be a zookeeper, bartender, and night watchman, especially if you only get three hours of sleep every night. But Alca the penguin never shirks any of his responsibilities, thanks to his seemingly endless supply of coffee with vitamins.

Our friendly platypus’s case of mistaken identity has been addressed. He is finally able to discover his species just in time before hungry Leon makes a meal out of him!

A new arrival at the zoo is causing a stir. Is it a human? Is it a duck, a beaver or a cross between the two? Our new friend is having an identity crisis…

There’s a newcomer at the zoo, and all the other animals are abuzz with speculation about its identity. Could it be… a human?

Could you imagine being told that you’re adopted and then being kidnapped immediately after? That’s what happens to the little critter in the first part of this “Zooriginaux” episode. It definitely sounds like the grounds for an identity crisis!

When Leon rescues Lea from a melting iceberg, she seems to be more willing to forgive him. But not until he realizes what he did to make her angry in the first place!

Leon’s marriage is in trouble. His good friend is hatching a plot to help him win Lea back, but will it work?

When Lea leaves Leon for Orni the platypus, Leon tries to woo his wife with a poem. But will she fall back in love with his “torrid charm”?

Leon and Lea are a lion couple who are going through a bit of a rough patch. As King of the Jungle, Leon might think he can come home at all hours of the night, but Lea has other plans for him… The Latin phrase says, “Alea jacta est,” meaning “the die has been cast.” Here, it’s Lea who’s casting them.

With the help of his special bear friend Ursula, Junior learns to be true to himself and remain the sweet and helpful lion cub that he is. Unfortunately, this decision sends his dad back to the psychiatrist….

Junior’s training to become King of the Beasts comes to a standstill when his dad puts him through the ultimate test… eating humans!

Junior’s first lesson in becoming a ferocious lion involves arriving late to school and acting up in class. He already has a pretty impressive roar!

It seems that what we consider “bad manners” are actually good manners to lions! Watch Leon the lion teach his young cub the art of behaving badly at the dinner table.

Who knew that young animals go to school while their parents are at the psychiatrist’s? At least that’s what happens in this cartoon, Les Zooriginaux, known in English as “Wild Instinct.”
