Goliath Plot Summary

What happens in Goliath from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 10 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 3-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Goliath II is a miniature 8-year-old Indian elephant who stands at an astonishingly small height, a detail that frames his early life as he tries to win the respect of his family and herd. His father, the biggest elephant in the group, pays him little attention because of his diminutive size, while his mother offers warmth and encouragement that keep Goliath hopeful. A curious tiger named Raja prowls the jungle with a predatory interest in elephants, but he is kept at bay by Goliath’s vigilant mother. Along the way, other hazards—such as Eloise, another herd member, who nearly steps on Goliath, and a crocodile that nearly makes a meal of him—underscore the constant dangers of their world and the protective instinct of his family.
