Humming-fishes are amphibious fishes that live in the Truffula Valley. Regarding their name, they can hum, featured in The Lorax book and film.

Description[]

They appear in the Lorax book, 1972 T.V. special, the 2012 film, and 1 of the 3 mini-movies that come with the Blu-ray combo pack, entitled Serenade, where a possibly male Humming-fish came to a female Humming-fish to propose with a pearl inside a clam.

Biography[]

Humming-fishes were shown to be pretty laid-back, humming peacefully in the rivers, before the Once-ler destroyed their home by his factory's "Gluppity Glup" and "Schloppity Schlop" pipes that produce toxic liquid to the rivers where the Humming-fishes live, thus they were shown leaving the now wasteland valley along with the Bar-ba-loots, Swomee-Swans, and the Once-ler's mule, Melvin, to find a new place which they could call home.

Trivia[]

  • They can breathe both on land and in water.
