Tinga Tinga Tales - Why Jackal Howls at the Moon

Logo for Tinga Tinga Tales - Why Jackal Howls at the Moon

Why do zebras have stripes and leopards spots, rhinos horns and camels humps? Tinga Tinga Tales tells a modern, young audience what really happened. You see, there was a time when Jackal didn't howl at the moon. He was a trickster and he always wanted what was not rightfully his. Jackal took over Hen's nest and Aardvark's burrow. He even took the cub's supper from Mama Cheetah! Enough was enough! The animals decided to teach Jackal a lesson and made him believe that the moon is made of the sweetest, most delicious honey in Tinga Tinga. Of course, Jackal instantly wanted some, but it never came. From that day on Jackal howls up at the moon, waiting for another drop of delicious MOOoooon honey!
