Taken into captivity and exhibited in a small desert roadside zoo, he learns much but never loses his bitterness toward his enemy: man. Chico makes his escape and bounds off for a life of adventure in the desert where he mates with Tula.  He sees an eagle grab one of his pups and worries when his mate raids a chicken coop.
