    About "Map of Species":

    Map of species is a visualization to display where and when creatures would have lived throughout the history of life.

    Modelling Information:

    The location of each creature is based on where their remains have been found in the present day formation of the continents on Earth, with their supposed locations in the past derived from a crude modelling of continental drift.
