1. Make a chart listing the different species in this movie, where they are normally found and
what happens to them at the end of the movie (and why it happens)
Species
Habitat
Ending
Swomee swans
Forest of Trufulla trees
According to the Lorax, when
smog from the Once-ler's
factory’s chimney seeped into
their throats and forced them
lose their capacity to sing,
they flew away.
Barb-a-loots
Trufulla Valley
The Bar-ba-loots were forced
to leave and look for food
elsewhere since there was no
Truffula fruit left for them to
eat.
Humming fish
The lakes in the Truffula Tree
Forest
The Lorax had to make the
fish to leave because the
Once-ler's factory's "Gluppity
Glup" and "Schloppity
Schlop" pipes produced
harmful liquid into the rivers
where the humming fishes
live.
Lorax
Trufulla trees
Since there were no longer
trees to be saved, the Lorax
disappeared after taking care
of the evacuation of all the
animals from the wasteland.
Once-ler
Town / Lerkim
The Once-ler was ruined,
abandoned by his family, and
became a recluse after
harvesting the final Truffula
tree. The Once-ler was
heartbroken and felt
inexplicably responsible for
the forest's devastation.
A Boy
Town
Once-ler gave him the last
Trufulla seed, asking him to
plant it, grow it, and giving the
seed sunlight and water.
