A children's story about animals told in song and narrative.

Wild animals are careful to protect their young. If offspring behave differently than expected, they're often shunned. Based on a true story about a baby lion with hiccups, for this young cat to remain a part of the tribe, he has to rid himself of the problem that is calling unwanted attention to himself and the others ﾖ a real danger on the savannahs of Africa. This is his story.

Sung and narrated by Bob Dorough (Children's Television Workshop Award Winner), all of the instrumental background sounds are made from real wild animal voices. No synth. No traditional instruments. The rhythm section is made up of different kinds of fish voices, the back-beats are typically chimpanzees, and lead animal voices are certain birds and whales.
