Summary Zed knows he is the fastest animal in Africa. After all he's the only one with 'go faster' stripes! When the other animals challenge him to take part in an obstacle course he is confident he will win. Zed, Nelson, Nathalie, Herbert, Ronald and Georgina line up for the race. The Snip Snip Bird gives the start signal. Then he flies up in the air to comment on the race. Zed has taken the lead, but after little while he has to stop in front of a dense forest. Nelson the Elephant bulldozes the forest flattening all the trees. The second obstacle is a river. The animals struggle trying to cross the river swimming. Nathalie the Antelope on the other hand jumps over the river with one elegant leap. But it doesn't take Zed long to recapture the lead. A bit further he gets lost in the 'High Grasses'. Only Georgina the Giraffe is tall enough to be able to look out over the grass. Now the terrain becomes rocky. Here Ronald the Rhino is in his element. He barges into the rocks breaking them in many pieces. The next obstacle is the Blue Mountain. The animals patiently wait for Ronald to break it to pieces, but this rock is a bit too big for him. Herbert the Warthog starts to dig a tunnel through the mountain. The others follow. Zed takes the lead once more. He's so confident he pauses to admire the reflection of his 'go faster' stripes in a water hole. It takes just a split second: All the others overtake Zed finishing joint first in a photo finish. Zed has learnt a lesson!
