Animals in the Family continues its exploration of the pygmy hippopotamus which, is just a fraction of the size of the hippo that most of us know and love!

Animales en familia takes a closer look at coatis in captivity. Also known as Brazilian aardvarks, these diurnal mammals native to South America, Central America and south-western North America are in the raccoon family.

Valeria Guerra and Karina Barbosa, students of journalism and biotechnical engineering, respectively, at the Monterrey Institute of Technology and Higher Education, also known as Monterrey Tech, in Monterrey, Mexico, tell us a bit about their daily activities, the school and the city of Monterrey itself.

Today, Animals in the Family introduces us to the pygmy hippopotamus which, is just a fraction of the size of the hippo that most of us know and love!

For the first time on Animales en familia [Animals in the Family], we witness a double surgery on Yaki, an eight-year-old English Bulldog who suffers from various maladies.

Aldo tells his girlfriend about Lucio’s imminent death and, more important, his plans to keep him from his share of the family fortune. Is Lucio’s new girlfriend a threat like Aldo thinks? Meanwhile, Yago has just rescued Morena from the trap, and there’s nowhere to bring her but… back to his place.

Brought on by news of Lucio’s pending death, Lucio and Aldo have a tense discussion in which they discuss their feelings for each other. Lucio tells his brother about what he’s really going to lose when he dies. Yago rescues Morena from the trap just before a storm hits the jungle, but people are still looking for her…

One brother has terrible news and the other brother is supposed to be happy about it? And who was Lucio kissing and why didn’t he introduce her to Aldo? What kind of family… ? Yes, it’s messy. Meanwhile, Yago finds the lovely, if high-strung, Morena hanging out in the jungle. Will he save her yet again?

While people are mourning Victoria and asking for her forgiveness, Lucio hears the test results from his doctor. And after hearing that the French guy could tell all once he gets out of his coma, Ramon goes to his bedside. Back in the jungle, Morena finds out the puma isn’t the only thing to worry about while hiking.

Yago has news for everyone: good news for some, not so good news for others. Ramon shows up at Yago’s house drunk, and finds out something frightening. Meanwhile, Yago finds Morena basking in the spray of a waterfall and tells her some news of the more reassuring kind.

Cassandra is leading a double life… will she take her friend’s advice to play it safe? Others are getting into trouble, too. The gringo seems to have gone off course on the puma hunt, but then his boss, Ramon, goes off course as well. When the police come around asking Ramon questions, will he crack?

Bad dreams awaken us in the middle of the night. Recurrent bad dreams are especially troubling. Luckily, poor Yago has somebody to talk to… even if that somebody doesn’t listen as well as he’d like. Meanwhile, things are getting complicated for a certain mystery woman; juggling men is never easy.

Morena gets a little tripped up on the dance floor with Yago, but it’s just because it’s not her best dance. She shows him her other moves… But then someone else moves in. Meanwhile, the puma is still on the loose, and the dirty business of taking care of it gets dirtier.

On the dance floor, Yago and Morena enjoy another chance encounter. One raised in the company of man, one raised in the company of animals, these two obviously have wildly different outlooks. But they move well together…. Meanwhile, a family’s tragic past has someone very tense. Why is Aldo so wound-up?

There’s a tango show for the tourists….But the visiting city girls want to hear the real local music, so off they go. In the meantime, we learn a bit about the heartache, illness, mourning and double lives within one rich family. Did their missing nephew die? Somehow, we suspect not. Oh the intrigue! And, back in the jungle, don’t forget the menacing puma!
