Plot
The series follows a rare species of little bears with butterfly-like wings living in a magical forest utopia. Together with their friends, they defend the forest from pollution, often opposed by two weasels, Skulk and Sammy, who try to pollute it. They sometimes receive help from Slink the snake. The bears follow the advice of the old bear Plato and his friend Ozzy the owl.
