Dit is duidelik: Krokodil is verlief. Maar, soos dit gewoonlik maar gaan as iemand verlief is, is daar 'n klein probleempie … Die kameelperd op wie hy verlief is, is so veel langer as hy! Krokodil loop al dae lank rusteloos rond. Soms kry hy te koud, soms kry hy te warm, soms is hy bitter hartseer, soms is hy so gelukkig dat hy die hele wereld wil omhels.

Our friend, the Flixies, learns how important the interaction between plants and animals is. They learn how plants, as they spread over the earth, also serve to keep the soil “stuck” to the earth with their roots. In flowering plants it is particularly the reproduction that developed quite cleverly and the Flixies are impressed with the ways in which plants distribute their seeds.

The Flixies are introduced to a new concept, biodiversity – the wide variety of all forms of life. Why must there be so many species? Are all these form of life necessary? Would Spaceship Earth not have worked not as well with only a few types of super-animals and super-plants on Earth?

Dux explains to Blox that there are one hundred million different types of plants and animals to which people have already given names – and that there are still places on Earth where there are most probably types of life which must still be discovered and described!
