Talala tried the owl family, but she didn't understand their language. Then the antelope family, who ate blossoms - yuck. And then the alligator hatchlings, who didn't play the same games as Talala at all. Finally, she spied the lion family... Would Talala be the heart of their pride? Would she find her fit?
