(Dartmouth College) The inspiration for 'The Lorax' by Dr. Seuss may have been based on an actual tree and monkey species in Kenya, according to a new Dartmouth-led study in 'Nature Ecology & Evolution.' The co-authors propose a new theory that the Lorax viewed himself as a part of the Truffula forest and was speaking as the personification of nature rather than as some sort of ecopoliceman.
