In this episode of the documentary series Andreas Kieling reports from the Amazon basin, Siberia, South Africa, the mountains of western China and the Eiffel region back home in Germany. Kieling ventures to western China almost as far as the border with Tibet in search of the great panda, the legendary bamboo bear. Set against a gigantic natural backdrop, the filmmaker is attempting to track down the extremely reclusive creature. But finding one of the approximately 3000 pandas who live in the vast mountainous landscape and capturing it on camera is like searching for a needle in a haystack. And then comes a stunning close encounter with the beautiful creatures at a very special place: the breeding station at Wulong. The precious bears live in huge natural enclosures here, breeding and providing specimens to be loaned to a number of zoos all over the world. These particular creatures are only able to serve as ambassadors for their few relatives who still live in the wild; since they have become accustomed to captivity, they would not be able to survive by themselves in the rainforests.

In this episode of the documentary series Andreas Kieling encounters the last gorillas in the mountain rainforests of the border areas between the Congo, Rwanda and Uganda and sets off in search of the perhaps most aggressive descendant of the dinosaurs, the saltwater crocodile, in Australia. With the help of local guides Andreas Kieling attempts to track down lions in a small region of India and encounters the elepahnt, the most hated at the same time most respected creature in Africa. Near Cape Town in Struis Bay, the filmmaker meets a woman who feeds seven stingrays each morning and evening.
