Tinga Tinga Tales - CBeebies - BBC

A huge storm carries Whale all the way from the ocean to the waterhole.

Stories about how different animals became distinctive. A storm carries Whale from the ocean to the waterhole, where she gets stuck. How will she get out?

There was a time when Whale did not spout. Then one day there was a big storm in Tinga Tinga. The winds blew stronger and the ocean waves got bigger and bigger. Suddenly, an enormous wave picked Whale up and carried her all the way from the ocean to the waterhole. Whale was so full of water that she could not move! 

How did the animals help Whale get back to the ocean? For once, Elephant had the answer.
