Jungle Beat

Munki is awoken from an idyllic sleep by an unexpected visitor in the jungle: A small, cute puppy! It belongs to three human explorers who set up their campsite right next to Munki and Trunk's favourite tree. This is a problem because all the explorers want is to see animals, and all the animals want is to not be seen by the explorers!

Munki and Trunk introduce the puppy to Rocky the Rhino, but Rocky is terrified of the tiny pup. MUNKI tries to get them both to play with a ball, but Rocky runs away and Munki gives up. Rocky really wants the ball, though, and keeps on trying to sneak over and get it. But no matter what he tries, Puppy keeps popping up unexpectedly and scaring the rhinoceros away.

The animals find it ridiculously easy to hide from the explorers, until Simon the explorer invents a mega-compass that can find any object that the explorers set their dial to. It's suddenly a lot harder for Munki, Trunk and Tallbert to avoid being seen, until Munki makes a fake replacement compass that leads the explorers wildly astray.

Trunk sees Simon going for a walk carrying the puppy in his backpack. She sneaks behind Simon, wanting Puppy to play with her. But when Munki tries to put Puppy back into the backpack, he accidentally gets picked up and shoved into it instead. Simon doesn't know he's carrying a monkey instead of a puppy, and Trunk has to do whatever she can to rescue her friend before Simon finds out.

The explorers are going on a drive, and one of their bags falls out of their jeep and scatters human items across the jungle. The animals are all intrigued by the weird objects that they find, but when the explorers start tracking back through the jungle to collect their lost things, Trunk needs to convince her friends to give up their new prized possessions before they get seen by humans.

The explorers are doing their laundry, and Munki borrows some of their clothing and dresses up as a human. Trunk thinks it's hilarious, but when Munki gets mistaken by the humans as one of their own, she needs to help him escape by making a human costume of her own.

The humans set up a surprise birthday picnic for Rita the explorer, and while the animals are investigating it they accidentally smash the cake and lose all the presents, which float away after Munki ties balloons to them. Tallbert and Ribbert need to quickly make a replacement cake using mud and rocks, while Munki ties balloons to Trunk and uses her to float up after the presents.

Humph the hedgehog gets even more grumpy than usual when the explorers discover his precious lawn and start playing lawn games on it. Munki and Trunk try everything they can to calm Humph down, but keep on getting interrupted by the exploders' games.

Mirabelle the explorer is determined to get a picture of an animal, and has set up a camera trap at the side of a clearing with a banana in the middle. Munki really wants the banana, and plays an escalating game of cat-and-mouse with Mirabelle in order to get it.

The puppy is causing chaos in the jungle: Digging holes and chewing Munki's bananas. Munki and Trunk sees that Rita is able to get Puppy to behave and even perform tricks, and Trunk is determined to get the puppy to obey her own commands. The puppy, however, has its own plans.

The explorers make cardboard cut-outs animals and hide behind them, hoping to spot the real animals. The animals aren't fooled except for Tallbert, who becomes obsessed with his new best friend, the cardboard giraffe.

Rita is listening to her radio in Munki's clearing. While she's briefly distracted, Tallbert comes out and dances to the music. He trips over the radio, sending it flying up in the air and accidentally swallowing it. It ends up stuck halfway down his long neck, and Munki has to try to get it out while also keeping his suddenly-very-noisy friend hidden from the explorer.

The animals discover the explorers old-school television, and Tallbert and Ribbert get hooked on human TV shows. To lure them back to safety, Munki and Trunk make a fake television out of bamboo poles and put on a show of their own.
