The picture opens with a deer nursing her fawns. We see a young deer being fed cigarettes; a raccoon picking the pockets of a man for sugar ; a raccoon carefully washing and eating an egg. Then we have the nocturnal kinkajou, and following that an anteater whose specialized tongue makes quick work of a heap of ants. The anteater carries her young whether she is walking or hanging by her prehensile tail. Looking up through a glass, we see a Pacific pocket mouse eating sunflower seeds. A cormorant swallows a large fish. An iguana kills a vulture after shedding its tail which still wiggles like a live snake. The film closes with a dramatic fight between the iguana and a puma
