"Hello everyone, and welcome to our first Animalia Ambassadoria Episode of 2021." Said Miles, starting the latest episode.
"Today we'll be interviewing some new people and revisiting some old stories." said Jen-Jen, getting the stories ready.

Harvey, Fred, and Eliza's segment not only included sneak peeks of the Year of the Ox competition, but also sneak peaks of the 2021 IAC. Everyone was fairly optimistic about the end of the pandemic, but because of the IAC and the Olympics happening at roughly the same time, the scores of the Olympic Athletes could be used as a "baseline" for comparing them to IAC competitors. Part of what made the 2021 IAC a bit more "professional" was the newest sponsor for the IAC, the Amateur Athletic Union.
Their main interview was with Edgar Teglee. While most of the interview involved his "upgrading" of the UFC-A with some luchador elements, which involved differentiating it even more from "American" wrestling, there was one question that was a little unexpected.
"During the last Boo Haw Haw between Rouge the Bat and Sailor Moon, you got up and left only ten minutes into the fight. Why was that?"
"While the fight was interesting enough, the banter between the two of them was a bit too sweet for me." said Edgar, simply.
"Ah, right." said Harvey, understanding suddenly, "It was a 'macho' thing."

Probably one that was surprising in general was Melvin Eco's story on how carob, of all things was boosting the economy, mainly because of how unexpected this market turn was. But there was no getting round the fact that the simple fact that Animalians could eat carob without worry of theobromine poisoning had many parts of the food industry buying up carob by the bushel, thereby skyrocketing the price.

Another interview was done by Kendra with Ami and Tsukuyomi at Heiya Island, even though there was some translation going on. While most of the interview focused on what they would be doing for Year of the Ox, there had been an internet rumor going around that said that there had been a smaller human trafficking busted that had been doing something similar to the larger one where most of the rescued girls had come from, but this one was done with guys. While most of the rumors were debunked, there was something that made it really surprising.
"So was there ever a human trafficking that were planning to use guys to create Animalian sex slaves that was similar to the larger one?" asked Kendra.
"Actually, yes." said Ami.
"What?!" gasped Kendra. (Stewie: SAY WHAAAT?!) "There was?! How?!"
"Once again, it was busted by Interpol." confirmed Tsukuyomi, "And while it was considerably smaller than the first one, the fact that the ring used methods of brainwashing similar to the first one that had the girls that were rescued shows that the two are related. Though whether or not this ring was leftover from the original ring or a copycat is still unknown. What I can say is that I've taken those boys under my wing the same way that Ami took those girls under hers."

"...And that's all the time we have for today." said Miles, wrapping up the episode after some silly stupidity clips, "See you all next time in the wilds of Animalia."
