It isn't long after Pelican meets a new animal that the jungle becomes a buzz. Pelican flies off and tells Monkey she's just seen a strange new animal, a spottyhippomus. As each animal runs off to tell the next animal, the descriptions of the woppabigamouse get bigger and scarier. Just like in the child's party game of Telephone. But when Elephant devises a plan to catch the strange monster that has come to the jungle the joke is on Elephant and the other animals when they see what they've caught!
