Zig & Sharko season 2 episode 9 is actually a collection of three shorter episodes. Each episode is about seven minutes long and features the same cast of characters - a hyena named Zig, his nemesis the shark named Sharko, and a mermaid named Marina.
The first short episode is called "A Sweet Tooth." Zig is desperate for some candy, but all the vending machines on the island are empty. He decides to steal all the candy from Marina's treasure trunk, but Sharko catches him in the act. Zig tries to evade the shark's grasp, but ends up using an inflatable duck floatie as a disguise. Marina mistakes Zig for a new pool toy, and takes him with her to the beach. Zig realizes he's stuck on the floatie and can't steal any candy, so he convinces Marina to give him a lollipop instead. The episode ends with Zig enjoying his candy while Sharko realizes he's been fooled by a pool toy.
The second short episode is called "The Scent Of The Hyena." In this episode, Zig discovers an unopened can of fish in the sand. He decides to have a feast and opens the can with a small can opener. The smell of the fish attracts Sharko, who comes to investigate. Zig tries to hide from Sharko, but in doing so he accidentally drops the can opener. Sharko picks up the can opener and uses the smell of the can of fish to track Zig's scent. Zig tries various tactics to throw off Sharko's scent, but ultimately ends up getting caught. The episode ends with Zig being dragged away by Sharko, still clutching the empty can of fish.
The third short episode is called "Bodyguard." In this episode, Zig decides to impersonate a bodyguard in order to get close to Marina and steal her pearls. He creates a fake earpiece and sunglasses to complete his look. Marina doesn't fall for Zig's disguise, but Sharko is convinced that Zig is a professional bodyguard. He invites Zig to guard Marina for the day, and Zig reluctantly agrees. Throughout the day, Zig tries various tactics to steal Marina's pearls, but Sharko is always one step ahead of him. In the end, Sharko reveals that he knew all along that Zig was a fraud and punishes him by tying him to a palm tree.
Overall, Zig & Sharko season 2 episode 9 is a fun and lighthearted episode featuring the same wacky hijinks we've come to expect from these characters. Fans of the series will enjoy watching Zig try to outsmart Sharko and steal Marina's treasures, while also getting a glimpse at the friendly relationships that exist between Sharko and Marina. The unique animation style and whimsical humor make this episode a great choice for kids and adults alike.
