Explanation

Two wolves are planning to eat a bird (or... bird-like creature?). While one would expect the wolves to eat the bird right away, one of the wolves has a different idea - to "invest in its eggs as a renewable resource".

The humor comes from the idea that a wild animal like a wolf would have the forethought to pursue egg farming (hence the title).

Transcript

Two-panel comic. Two wolves are looking at a bird-like creature in the distance. Simple trees are seen in the background.

Panel 1: The two wolves are looking at the bird-like creature and visibly salivating. There is a dotted line from their eyes to the creatures.

Panel 2: The two wolves are looking at each other:

Wolf 1: "Are You Thinking What I'm Thinking"

Wolf 2 (interjecting the previous wolf's speech bubble): "We Invest"

Wolf 1 (continued in the previous speech bubble): "What"

Wolf 2 (cut off): "Invest in its eggs as a renewable resource"
