Paula and Mike can hardly wait to explore the future world around them, as they enter the many exhibits of the Futuroscope, a futuristic zoo for creatures never believed to exist in the future. Their first bizarre and friendly encounter is a tree-dwelling squid, called a squibbon, that swings through the trees like today's monkeys. But soon, they encounter a much larger relative of the squibbon. A fifteen-foot tall, 8-legged land squid, a megasquid, that would like to eat their tree-hanging friend. Will they be able to save their new pal and return home, safely?
