In 1988, as Paul Middlewick rode the train home, he spotted an elephant on the London Underground. Ok more exactly he spotted one hiding in the lines of the famous underground tube map. Since then many other animals have revealed themselves in the lines, stations and junctions of the metro map, everything from foxes to rhinos to bottle nose dolphins. To see the whole collection of animals or to just maybe find your own, see animalsontheunderground.com
















Can you find the animals above in the original map below?
