Victor tries to teach Kevin to be nasty like a real crocodile. Kevin, somehow, doesn't like trying to be a real croc.
Summary
Main Zoo
Arriving in the zoo, an unwelcome visitor has emerged from the bushes. He is a crocodile whose name is "Victor". The animals are upset about the nasty crocodile.
Story
Victor begins to threaten animals in the marsh. He is notorious for scaring butterflies, tadpoles, and many other species in the marsh. He later sees Kevin with his friends Toby and Doris.
Kevin leaves his friends while seeing Victor. He is taught to act like a true crocodile. First, Kevin is taught to use the eyes to scare any animals and then the grin. Kevin returns to Toby and Doris using his angry eyes at them. This attitude is only known to fool them.
He also tries to use the grin, but this plan never worked. The last lesson is to splash and scare all the animals. Kevin tries to scare Toby and Doris, but this attempt failed. He is smacked on the face by her cattail.
Victor is very enraged after all the failures. He bites Toby with his jaws in anger, Doris attempted to rescue Toby, but she and Toby are caught by Victor whose jaws are holding both of them. Shocked and angry about this, Kevin confronts Victor for being a bully and starts biting Victor's tail, tagging him and causing him to bite his own tail. Victor gets an injured tail after that, resulting him to cry in pain and then later retreats. Kevin is now safe from Victor with his friends Toby and Doris, after he learns that he can always be himself.
Moral Ending
The moral of this story is about being yourself and dealing with bullies - Kevin attempted to behave like what a crocodile naturally does, but learns how to handle in being himself after dealing with Victor. After telling the story, Victor tells Lucy that he is not interested with happy endings, which Lucy replies that she still likes happy endings. The animals laugh at Victor with his crooked tail during his encounter with Kevin. Georgina then takes Lucy which Victor tells her, "Good night".
