A girl is spending the day in a zoo with her mom and a bunch of other tourists. Suddenly an unknown ship docks at the zoo and two strange-looking creatures step out. The tourists are insecure about where the newcomers belong. Are they friends or enemies? Luckily the guard of the zoo knows what to do.
