Extinction cartoon – the mammoth
Endangered species cartoon
An environmental cartoon about conservation and how animal species become extinct due to human exploitation and pressure
In the image a mammoth’s foot has been turned into a wastepaper bin in an office used by a caveman, in a similar way that elephant’s feet were turned into furniture before the implications of such practices were appreciated
Part of the joke here is the anachronism of having a prehistoric caveman sitting at an office desk.
Drawn: 1991
