Wolves are present in the wild in every EU country except Ireland, Cyprus and Malta. They are making a big comeback in Europe without any reintroduction programs, but helped by conservation efforts. The populations in Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg probably came in from Germany in the last decade or so. The first wolf in the Netherlands for over a century was recorded in 2015. Population in 2025 estimated at 150 - 180, 13 established packs. Wolves made a comeback to Germany about 35 years ago, coming in from Poland.

Auk's fill the same role. The flightless Great Auk would have have been the closest. Even had the same colour scheme. But sadly extinct now, so there's a gap to fill.
Horses and other northern hemisphere animals adapted their breeding cycles to the seasons being the wrong away around down south, after a while.

Soviets were 'the threat' during the Cold War, but this French Communist Party 1951 map, suggests otherwise
expose American military imperialism and double standards from America. During the Cold War era, most of the maps circulating globally were anti-communist propaganda, this map was a form of counter-mapping because it was anti-American imperialism propaganda. At the time, American imperialism seemed necessary to stop the spread of communism, but there were numerous dissenters opposing American authority during the era, which should be recognized historically.
