Not many people know, orangutans did not always have such long arms. They used to spend their days monkeying and playing around on the forest floor. They never had a thought about leaping and swinging around so high. They never dreamed of flying up above the soft, green leaves and flowers that colour the rainforest. Then one morning, a young Orangutan, called Pongo, decides he needs to show a little tarsier that he can leap as far as he can.

Clouded Leopards are the smallest of all the wild cats as they have short legs. But Clouded Leopards are also clever. They use their brains and amazing agility to climb trees and prowl silently through the rainforest. They are also dark cats. They like to hide away, out of sight, where no one will see them. Many years ago, all the Clouded Leopards in the world were black, until one day, something happened.

Nothing exciting happens where Erik lives. All it does is snow. Then one day, there is the most horrible stink. Everyone thinks it's Erik's feet. But he knows it isn't. So, Erik, the bold and fearless Viking, once again, asks his dragon, Bert to join him on a quest to find out what is making everything so smelly. Together, they set off and soon discover a dragon with some extremely pongy cheese.
