Khumba
Half-striped Zebras are born to an isolated, isolated herd that is obsessed with stripes. The legend that this foal was cursed soon spread, and he’s blamed for the Great Karoo drought. The father of the herd blames Khumba for not having enough rain, and his mother’s death. After this, the poor zebra flees his house, knowing that without his colors, he will be unable to survive within the group. Khumba dares to go beyond the fence, making himself vulnerable to Phango the leopard who has control over the Great Karoo’s waterholes. Phango terrorizes all the Great Karoo animals. A quirky pair of wildebeests and ostriches rescue Khumba from an opportunistic wilddog. Mama V, a self-confessed wild spirit, doesn’t want to be a typical stay-at home mom like the other wildebeest. She is the mother of Bradley, an ostrich with a wild personality and insecure feathers. The foal is greeted by a mysterious mantis who draws a map that can be read as water or stripes. They then join Khumba in his search to find a safe place to water. Khumba meets a variety of people on their trip, including a Springbok herd that is migrating in search for greener pastures. A new, bohemian group living within a national park. An endangered Riverine Rabbit, who masters impersonations and beat-boxing, as well as a bunch of rock-rabbits called Dassies. Nora, an eccentric Merino sheep who lives alone on an abandoned farm, also joins them. Khumba learns that variety is vital for survival, and that being different can be a strength. –Anonymous
