29 Maps That I Made In Honor Of Nature And Animals

Obviously the capital city in 'Land of the Panda' is named after the big, fluffy and bamboo eating Giant Panda (ailuropoda melanoleuca) we all know and love 🐼🐼🐼 And if you look closely you can see tiny crosses in front of some of the names in the close-up picture to the right. Those crosses mean that the spieces they are infront of have gone extinct (don't worry - in most cases it happened a looong time ago!).

When I look at this map, I see the face of a Panda Bear. The ears are on the top of the bears head. The eyes are kind of in the middle. The nose and mouth are under the eyes. The Panda Bear has a smile.

This map is made in the image of the Lion. Mountains, seas, lakes, cities etc. are all named after spieces belonging to the family of Felidae. The Felidae comprises two subfamilies, the Pantherinae and the Felinae. The former includes the Panthera species: lion, tiger, jaguar, leopard, snow leopard, clouded leopard and the sunda clouded leopard. All the non-pantherine cats are part of the Felinae, which includes several genera and the majority of cat species - aswell as the domestic cat.

A scattered islands with guaranteed 0% lion population. The lion prefers grassy enormous plains and savannahs, far from sea... I you try to "honor" the animals, at least learn about their habitat. Other that that: pretty unimaginative. Gets old after first pic.

Strigiformes (owls) consists of six families, where two of them (Strigidae and Tytonidae) includes all extant owl spieces - Some 220 to 225 in total. Fitting 220+ owl names into one map was quite a challenge!

For those who havn't noticed, this map was made in the image of a plant (monstera) and not an animal :) Monstera is a genus of about 50 species of flowering plants.

The red panda! One of my absolut favourite animals!

Giraffoidea is a superfamily that includes many spieces where most have been extinct for a very long time. The only extant members in this superfamily are the pronghorn, okapi, and ofcourse the giraffe.

Love this one :D

Shouldn't it be Lupus?

Land of the Eagle is made in the image of the bald eagle and mountains, seas, lakes, cities etc. are all named after bird spieces belonging to the family of Accipitridae (hawks, true eagles, seaeagles and snake-eagles) approx. 60 in total :)

In Italy we have a little island called "insula accipitrum": in latin is island of eagles..now is "Island of S. Peter"

On the right - looks like a baby elephant

Leporidae is the family of rabbits and hares, containing over 60 species of extant mammals in all. This map was made in the image of the rabbit - but i will do the hare aswell at some point :)

A horse!

Equinae?

BAGHEERA!?

I wouldn't mind visiting the open mouth of this big kitty. At least I'd be able to leave uninjured/unmauled and alive

Imagine it full of beautiful flowers and lots of jeweled birds flitting around.

Oh, no wait, that's Bagheera

It's a goat

it's beautiful...

A cold wooded place with lots of berries, salmon and honey. Up north there are polar bears.

Why is the koala separate from the bear? I mean, it has all of the koalafications
