"Animals on the Underground": Look for animals on a map of the London tube system
Animals on the Underground is an interesting project that consists of looking for animals hidden in the lines on a map of the London underground system.
The first animal found was this elephant
It was the year 1988 and Paul Middelwick was riding the tube on his way home from work. He looked at a map of the underground and discovered that: there was an elephant there hidden among the junctions and stations.
Ever since then, anyone who wants to is welcome to draw a new animal on the map of the London underground as long as they stay inside the lines. To date, 35 animals have been discovered including a bat, a polar bear, a turtle, a flamingo, a cat, a dog...
A drawing tool on the project's website allows participants to draw on the map, exploring their creativity and precision. Animals on the Underground has already published a book, it has its own group on Facebook and has thousands of fans. It's an interesting project that proves things aren't always what they appear to be. Doesn't it make you want to explore a map of your own city's transport system?
