Fantastic Beasts & Where To Honor Them

Fans of Danish bacon won't hold upwards surprised to larn that in that place are a lot of pigs inward Denmark. Although they mightiness non hold upwards aware that pigs inward Europe are equally good heavily concentrated inward northern Kingdom of Belgium as well as the Netherlands. Fans of pizza as well as buffalo mozzarella mightiness hold upwards interested to larn that European buffaloes alive or as well as thence alone inward southern Italy.

I learnt all this from Maarten Lambrechts Herds of Europe. The Herds of Europe is a serial of fascinating population bubble grid maps showing the geographical distribution of farm animals inward Europe. His serial of static maps shows the European distribution of cows, pigs, sheep, goats as well as buffaloes.

Each of the maps was created inward R (the R Project for Statistical Computing) as well as the R code for the maps is listed below the maps on Maarten's weblog post.
