Story

---

After the New York City zoo closes, some animals play a game of turtle-curling including five, Samson the lion, Benny the squirrel, Bridget the giraffe, Larry the anaconda, and Nigel the koala and the co-captain. However, during the game Ryan, Samson's son, makes a stampede of gazelles and set the game in havoc. After shaming Ryan, Samson tells Benny his feelings and tries to find Ryan to apologize to him. However, Samson immediately learns that Ryan was accidentally shipped to Africa. Samson decides to leave with Benny, leaving the rest of his team behind. However, right when Benny is giving directions through NY, Bridget accidentally pushes him off with her tail. And all four, without Benny, must make it through NY with their instincts.
