If you think “Cuddly Friends” are just too cute and fluffy… get ready to meet the ENEMY FURBALLS!
Animals, attack!
Alca and Due are the last of their kind – the legendary “impenni” puffins. Alca narrowly escaped extinction nearly a century ago, thanks to being frozen in a block of ice. Due, on the other hand, was brought back to life, cloned from her sister’s DNA.
Ever since they escaped from the lab that was studying them, they’ve been plotting revenge alongside Tiger, Whale, Panda, Turtle, and other endangered species.
How is it possible that adult Homo sapiens sapiens keeps partying like there’s no tomorrow, while these animals might not even make it to next Tuesday?
Humans really get on their nerves – just ask Cow!
It’s time to strike back…
if only Due weren’t starting to grow a soft spot for humans!
