He likes fishing and shooting and doing all the chores in the village. Poby has a big, black nose and wearing a blue denim overall.
Pororo, the Little Penguin
Far far away, unknown and untouched by human civilization, lays a peaceful island covered with snow and ice. On this white island, deep in a small secluded forest, is a tiny village inhabited by small animals. Nobody knows how they arrived on the island, but they live in the village in the little valley where the sun is the warmest and the cold wind is least harsh. In the village lives Pororo, a very curious mischievous little penguin, the kind-hearted polar bear Poby, the smug nosy red fox Eddy, the shy and timid little beaver Loopy, the friendly penguin girl Petty and the happy hummingbird Harry. All friends have different personalities and different interests, sometimes leading to small (and sometimes not so small) happenings in their quiet white world. But they’re all good friends and they know how to help each out other in times of need.
