Description: Desde el primer rayo de luz del amanecer hasta que se mete el sol al anochecer, la sabana se siente viva con muchos sonidos. Un león ruge temprano por la mañana, un joven babuino hace alaridos para alertar a los otros del peligro al medio día, y un joven ratón hace chillidos al atardecer. ¿Qué es lo que los animales están diciendo y por qué? Los animales se comunican de diferentes maneras; explora la próspera sabana y la "manera de hablar" entre sus habitantes a lo largo del transcurso del día.
