What about nature stories?

Penguin (or bear, or whatever) vs. the environment?

I'd consider it a different storyline, as in truly good stories of this genre little anthropomorphic thought leak through.

But then again, some people won't call this a story, they'd call it a documentary.

Whatever you call it, it's made some people alot of money.

Still man vs. environment because even though we're not sure what it's thinking, a penguin or a bear still thinks. Penguin vs. polar bear would be man vs. man. Dinosaur vs. Ice Age = man vs. environment
