In Australia, Ellie meets Stacy, the baby wombat with a big personality. Carer Sue looks after her in the family home, but stubborn Stacey can be quite a handful. And in a wildlife rescue centre in Costa Rica, Newbie the baby three-toed sloth continues the battle with pneumonia and her rehabilitation, and Al, a laid-back anteater, needs to learn the knack of dealing with aggressive jungle ants. All of them are on a challenging journey back to the wild, where they belong.
