Moose population in North America

The moose population in North America is shrinking swiftly. This decrease has been correlated to the opening of roadways and landscapes into this animal's north range.   In North America, the moose range includes almost all of Canada and Alaska, the northern part of New England and New York, the upper Rocky Mountains, northern Minnesota and Wisconsin, Michigan's Upper Peninsula, and Isle Royale.    In 2014-2015, the North American moose population was measured at around one million animals. The most abundant moose population (about 700,000) lives in Canada. About 300 000 moose remains in nineteen U.S. states Alaska, Colorado, Connecticut, Idaho, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Montana, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, New York, North Dakota, Oregon, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wisconsin, and Wyoming. The largest moose specimens are found in Alaska 200 thousand moose. Below the map shows the size of US states scaled by the moose population.     Via www.vividmaps.com

Human Body Subway Maps

The human body is very complex, and it is often challenging to understand how all body systems interact with each other. Below are maps that help us understand how our body works. The detailed map of the anatomy of the human body illustrated in the style of a subway map was created by Tufts Medical Center (Department of Otolaryngology and Neck Surgery). Below is an even simpler simpler subway map of the Gastrointestinal system created by Jack Anderson. The best explanation of how our body works is the animation below.
