    I assume it wasn't suppose to represent where each animal actually live, but just north american animals in general with a map as background (like the river otter is in the ocean because they can't fit it on the map itself)

    Even so, it doesn't excuse the animal errors - 'Pronhorn' is a springbok, 'Elk' is a red deer, the beaver and groundhog appear to have pictures switched around, 'Black-footed Ferret' is a regular domestic ferret ...

    Hey, it’s not as bad as that stock image map of South American animals that had a platypus, or that other one that had a lemur (and represented tapirs with a Malayan tapir).

    You looked at it, it got worse.
    Also, the “bobcat” appears to be a Eurasian Lynx.

    Even worse - the Groundhog isn't a groundhog. I'm not entirely sure what it is but it looks like one of the other marmots.

    I believe it's an Alpine Marmot, also known as "Alan!" or "Steve!"

    I also remember that show having a 'Goat Compare' segment I found hilarious, but can't seem to find anymore =S would be great if someone knew where I could

    This would be perfect if the Meerkat wasn't here. African Crested Porcupine or Red Fox would be great replacements.

    Funny you say that because I originally had a red fox in the exact spot the meerkats were.

    I feel like this is better suited for "Jokes Only A ZooChatter Would Understand", but good meme regardless.

    Swap the bear for a lynx and the flamingo for a night heron (or a sacred ibis before the EU ban), and this would be scarily accurate for small Danish zoos as well. :p
