Is the Lorax Real?
At the far end of town where the Grickle-grass grows, a team of Dartmouth professors has finally cracked The Lorax, by Dr. Seuss.
He is the Lorax. He speaks for the truffula trees.
His origins are never explicitly addressed in the illustrated children's book that bears his name, but new research reports that his tubby poise was inspired by a real animal—the Patas monkey—and the monkey's bond with a real tree, the Whistling Thorn Acacia.
