Please, folks...

It takes a bit of time to format these maps, to set up the links, and so on...

I know they usually don't merit a Reply. They're just meant to evoke a momentary "Hey! Cool!" reaction, nothing more.

At the same time, if they don't interest anyone, it's a pretty big waste of time. So I'd really like to know if anyone finds them interesting. Just an occasional "Yes, they're nice!" would be good...

Thanks for exposing Mrs. Gee, 'the queen of the squirrels', diabolical plot.  You may have just saved the world.

I knew Alaska was huge, but that really puts in perspective.

And nobody asked me about my squirrel to human ratio. There are about 10 squirrels to every human living on my property.

Don't even get me started about raccoons....

I have to dispute the New York squirrel ratio.  It is at least 100 to one....... jrSmiley_9_smiley_image.gif

I think that many Americans really have no idea how large Alaska is. The map surely shows just how large it is when compared to Europe. 

Love the voting districts and NA reservations.

The town of Å is pretty much the end of the road or peninsula.

Argentina is really big. 

I always enjoy the maps that you post Bob.

P.S. you might want to do the gator to human ratio map here in Florida.

There's not squirrels in Hawaii? That's kinda sad if you think about it.

Not really, Trout. They are not native to Hawaii and would cause destruction of the native species. They has happened to many of the native bird life and other native species. 

Hawaii is highly restrictive and doesn't want non-native species coming into the state.

I understand now. Makes sense. Are there mongoose in Hawaii?

They are allergic to pineapples and macadamia nuts.

Why would Portugal have negative population growth  ? Can someone please tell me because I am too lazy to look it up for myself.

Apparently. 

At the same time, Portugal is offering super fiscal advantages for immigrants...
