Summary

The story begins when in the virgin forest a family of deer hears a roar and
howl. Then its members fall dead. Then they run away scared from the place.
They comment howl what happened with a flock of birds, which mention that
there is a new “creature”. All the animals were curious to meet this creature and
although all disagreed they protected themselves, hunting different species
(lion, bears, frogs, rabbit, beer, among others) the animals meet with the lord
and discussed the new creature and the havoc it creates. At the end of the story
it is revealed howl the lord destroys with an enhancement the oil that creation
gave to said creature to prevent the atrocities from continuing. Apes,
chimpanzees and gorillas hunt this oil and take the form of humans. The
advance of human evolution is reflected in the different species of animals and
their habitats.
