"Zazu's Off-by-One Day" is an episode from The Lion King's Timon & Pumbaa.

Synopsis
Zazu gets fired from his job after he forgets to count one single animal on his (nearly) complete list of animals. He sets out in a quest to find out which animal he forgot.

Plot
"Zazu's Off-by-One Day" begins by introducing Zazu, a hornbill. At the start of the episode, Zazu comes home and sees a big mess in the house. The hornbill calls his assistant, Gopher, to clean up the mess because the inspector is going to visit the next day. Gopher tells Zazu that the inspector's visiting the current day, which makes the two panic and quickly clean up the house. After that, Gopher tells Zazu that the inspector is outside, Zazu opens the door, and the mess gets back in. Zazu finds the inspector.

The inspector tells Zazu that he forgot to count one animal in his list of animals and then fires the hornbill and gives the job to Gopher. Zazu goes on a quest to find the animal he forgot to count. First he goes to the ants, then to the flamingos, then the fish, and then the rabbits.

Zazu could not find the animal he forgot to count and then goes to sleep. The hornbill dreams that he's being surrounded by 1s. Zazu wakes up and sees Rafiki coming towards him. Rafiki hears that Zazu did not count one animal in his list and shows the hornbill his reflection in the water, making Zazu realize that he forgot to count himself on the list.

When Zazu flies back to his house, he sees two elephants in a hole, two giraffes on a tree, and fish flying in the sky. The hornbill becomes suspicious and flies fast. Meanwhile, the inspector tells Gopher that the mole is not doing a good job. After Zazu gets in, the inspector gives the hornbill his job back.

However, Zazu's job is now being Gopher's assistant and Gopher is doing Zazu's job.
