Synopsis
Penguin Andou defends forest animals from humans, but some suspect he might be human himself.
A penguin named Andou protects the forest and its animal inhabitants from the evil humans (or the "cancer of the Earth" as one sign in The Animal House reads). However, some of the animals suspect that Ando himself may be a human.
