An octopus uses camouflage to find food, or hide from an enemy. A Cape Fur Seal's speed and agility are valuable tools to catch a penguin, but ineffectual against a Great White Shark.

As time marches on, pride dynamics change again. New cubs are welcomed into the family and the pride males return home.
