Synopsis
The Simpsons explore Earth in a Nat Geo-style mockumentary.
Plot
The Dregs
The first species presented in the documentary is the dregs of the animal kingdom. The first are the beluga whale and the narwhal, resembling Homer and Marge. Due to the summer being almost over, they separate, as they are different species, and the narwhal promises him that she'll never forget him. Their friends start asking what they've done together and start singing, but the narwhal tells them she'll never see him again.
Elsewhere, the next creature is the marine iguana, which endangers his offspring by laying eggs in the most dangerous beach of the world, demonstrated by one of them (resembling Milhouse) being eaten by snakes. Teachers, resembling Chalmers and Smithers, gather them around to teach them how to survive, and the first assignment is to reach the safet of the rocks they're standing on. One of them, resembling Martin, volunteers but fails once he starts moving and gets noticed by them. Next, other two, resembling Nelson and Bart, try by letting other iguanas get eaten instead of them, but the Bart lookalike sacrifices the others to get to victory, which earns him a life on a rock with the teachers. He then decides it was better to suicide than that life.
Back at the Arctic, the beluga whale misses his narwhal, when a school of fishes, resembling Moe, tells him to remember there're a lot of them in there, and thus the whale eats and thanks them. The fishes give him more advice and the whale goes off to search for her. Meanwhile, in the rain forest, the mandrill, resembling Ned, lives with his family. When the cameraman approaches, his sons ask him if the humans descend from them, to which he denies as they're made out of God's image, and when they further question it, he tells them from now on they'll be tree schooled. His sons then try to walk on two legs and get scolded again.
Back at the Artic, the narwhals reach their destination, and the whale has found his love and his father, who is questioning why she stayed with him all the time, and the whale tells them that the reason he left his pod is because it was all killed by killer whales. Her dad, resemblind Wolfcastle, agrees for him to join the pod, but he has to behave to blend in, which he doesn't right out of the bat, as he grabs one of them, resembling Ralph, to scratch his itchy back. They start heading to catch some food, but the whale starts deflating due to pressure, so the narwhal inflates him again with a kiss with their spiracle.
Next, moving to South Africa, Morgan Freeman narrates about the penguins.
