GIRAFFIDAE is a family of ruminant mammals closely related to deer and bovids. Instead of countries, states and regions, LAND OF GIRAFFES is divided into subfamilies, tribes, and genera with cities bearing the names of the species within each genus. This allows you to explore the animal kingdom just like you would explore a traditional map. This particular map was created in the image of the THREE-HORNED GIRAFFE, meaning the shape of this land was dictated by this animals unique physical features - all drawn from scratch.
”The MAPPA ANIMALIA series is not based on actual geographic data but rather on various phylogenetic trees that show the relationships between species, sometimes also refered to as evolutionary family trees. These trees have then been converted into the colorful format of cartography, in an attempt to symbolize the essential yet delicate bond between animals and their natural habitats. By doing this, I hope to remind people that animals are as important to nature, as nature is to us.” - Jeppe Ringsted
