In case you were wondering about the hood on the bird, it doesn’t cause it any harm. Quite upon the contrary in fact, it is used to calm a bird of prey. Many birds, including eagles, hawks and falcons wear them quite comfortably.
I used to keep owls (captive bred Barn Owls) but didn’t need to use hoods on them. It would be quite odd to hood an owl.
Ok so the places marked in red are all supposed to be in Europe, right? How then does this map’s interpretation of Moroco, Algeria, Tusia and Lybia, which in fact are all in Nortnern Africa, actually work?
Oh and why is North America (and of course, Canada above it) running through the middle of the map, apparently drowning in large amounts of water?
Oh OK, well I for one, found it rather confusing and then also rather alarming, when I noticed near enough all of the United States, appeared to be under water.
Yes, this is something we don’t really think about. The US is so far south compared to Europe that Florida and the southern parts of Texas are actually at the same latitide as the Sahara desert.
Yes I’m familiar with the fact that the proportions between countries and continents on the maps we usually see are not correct.
By the way, when we’re at it with latitudes, the area where I was born and grew up is on the same latitude as the Northernmost part of Alaska. And I mean Northernmost! Strange to think about, but if it wasn’t for the Gulf Stream I wouldn’t have been here
Yes the red area at the bottom is Africa, which I have already alluded to when talking about the specific African countries in my first post. What I don’t get is why certain areas have been superimposed over other areas, whilst showing something on the map that (apparently) relates to Europe.
