action
The useless wolf Uruno, who, like all characters , is portrayed as people in animal costumes , is looking for a new home. He comes across a forest that is inhabited by many equally useless animals. This means that the animals do not behave in their usual role, but have adopted the properties of other species. The Usahara hare thinks of himself as a wolf, smokes, is in a bad mood and attacks other animals. Although he wants to leave the forest after the first confrontations, he is stuck with the clumsy cheetah Chiiko, with whom he immediately fell in love. That makes him stay longer in this forest and slowly he gets used to his new and unusual friends.
