The Lorax Coloring Pages and How he came from. Do you remember the character of The Lorax? The Lorax is one of the characters in the children’s story Dr. Seuss, he became the representative for the trees felled by Once-ler.
The Lorax itself accounts for the destruction and baldness of the forests caused by human greed. The disappearance of the forest eventually made Lorax (a small creature of the forest guard) and other forest dwellers leave the forest and find a new home.
Covered with humorous dialogue and satirical rhythm, the mission of The Lorax’s story is very clear. Seuss wants to convey that uncontrolled capitalism can destroy the earth. Seuss, the pen name of Theodor Seuss Geisel, published the story of The Lorax in 1971 and was quickly favored by children and parents at that time.
Maybe the children catch the message in the film so humans can protect their environment. However, for some experts this story contains more meaning than that. Nathaniel J. Dominy, a professor of anthropology and Donald E. Pease, professor of English who wrote the biography of Dr. Seuss are two experts who are curious about the meaning behind The Lorax’s story.
Before revealing the true meaning in the story written by Seuss nearly half a century ago, Dominy and her team first sought out the true figure of Lorax in the real world. They use facial modeling and iterative algorithms to reveal their identities.
He explained, this method is like matching a photo of a monkey with an illustration of Lorax on a computer and looking for the closest possible. As a result, they found that The Lorax was inspired by patas monkeys living in West Africa and East Africa. A distinctive mark that makes the expert very sure of that is his second iconic mustache.
In their natural habitat, patas monkeys which are also referred to as primates with running speeds reaching 55 kilometers per hour are currently facing reduced habitat. They are also considered as pests by local farmers. Maybe this finding sounds strange and a waste of time. However, experts believe that by knowing their true identity, humans can think about what the creature’s actual state is and start acting.
According to Dominy, Lorax acts as an ecologist who maintains and maintains his authority. Researchers hope that the findings and stories of Lorax will inspire us to be responsible and keep axes from the forest.
