Finally, when the last tree is cut down, the Lorax goes too, leaving behind a rock with the word ‘unless’ marked on it, signifying that unless people care enough, the situation will not get better.įun Fact: The story of the Lorax offended people involved with the occupation of logging. He repeatedly warns and informs the Once-ler about the effects of his rampant destruction of the Truffula trees, until one by one, all the wild creatures such as the Brown Barbaloots, Swomee-Swans, and the Humming Fish leave to find new pastures. Seuss created this character to express his views on preventing pollution and saving the environment, and as such, the story depicts the Lorax as a representative of the beautiful Truffula trees, who are victims to the greed of the industrialist named the Once-ler. He is said to have a sharp and bossy voice. He is a creature of short stature, with brownish orange mossy fur and an enormous mustache.


The Lorax is an extremely popular character, and is the protagonist of the book with the same name.
