Papuwa

Papuwa (stylized as PAPUWA) is a Japanese manga series written and illustrated by Ami Shibata and adapted into a 26-episode anime television series. The series follows Kotaro who is stranded on an uncharted island inhabited by strange talking animals and has no memory of his past.

That series was adapted into a 42-episode anime television series which aired on TV Asahi from October 1992 to October 1993.
