While searching for diversion on television one evening, a middle-aged couple lights upon a nature documentary recounting the decline of the Arkelope. Though it has managed to survive a variety of natural disasters and calamities, the Arkelope has been reduced, through human indifference and short-sightedness, to a species whose very existence is in imminent danger. A seriously funny animated look at endangered species and human passivity in the face of the ubiquitous TV set.
