In an alternative timeline, the Earth was filled with creatures of all shapes, sizes and abilities. One of these extraordinary creatures was the ever-curious Tama. For the first time in eons, the mighty sun of the planet was burning through the blanket of clouds, revealing its majestic glow at the same time across the world. Tama's parents, two very different species of animal, were tested out alongside this rare event, as part of a mysterious experiment on Earth's unique creatures. That day gifted Tama a life, a life filled with exploration, privilege, and moments of danger. And of course, the occasional stolen treat.

As well as the myriad of things to explore in the many forests and glens of Earth, Tama also had plenty of people watching opportunities. As she wandered through the trees, she spotted a human figure walking amongst the branches, carelessly munching away at a freshly picked, juicy red apple. Before she could blink, the creature had darted out into the open and pounced on the unsuspecting chomper! After sweeping the delicious treat away, Tama disappeared into the trees, leaving the bewildered apple-eater distracted and confused.

Tama found herself in a remote part of Earth, welcomed by sights and sounds that were completely new to her. Everything about this place seemed so strange, yet so alive— there was a buzz in the environment that Tama just couldn't shake! To make matters worse, she was faced with a new problem entirely no matter where she looked, she couldn't see her stolen apple anywhere! With her pesky humans in pursuit, she made a daring escape, risking it all to look for the tasty treat. Her mission to find the apple was fraught with peril and peril, leaving her vulnerable to her awaiting hunters.

Just when all hope seemed lost, an old tree stump being illuminated in the sunlight provided the location of where the elusive apple had gone. There, breathing heavily and in hiding, was Tama, gorging down the last of the sweet morsel. Though Tama emerged with her prize in her grasp and the human pursuers distracted, their confusion was certainly not worth the trouble. In the end, a curious creature learnt a valuable lesson— tread carefully when it comes to snatching snacks!
