Artist's commentary

I thought that Kemono Friends was the perfect copyright to think about this particular question so I drew this https://t.co/ofT3KvzaTp

Just in case, the original image is Paul Gauguin's "Where Do We Come From? What Are We? Where Are We Going?" It's very vivid so you definitely have to see this https://t.co/zSkujtqY38

As you go from right to left, the animals go from least concern → endangered → extinct... Just something interesting to note.

Speaking of which, some time ago I read this article on the passenger pigeon's extinction. Pretty deep.

The original image is also intended to go from right to left; the human's birth to death.

I re-added the character tags, because, as in post #2667853, the animals represent the friends.

Humans (i.e. Kaban) actually have (or had) an IUCN classification as well: Least Concern.
