Its a family tree of zoo-born red pandas with almost 30,000 pictures (hand-tagged and searchable) and over 1300 animals.

I'm proud of making it for many reasons, but this is the biggest one: if you pick an animal and swipe through a few dozen photos, you start seeing a little life, growing and changing, and eventually ending. It's a precious lens on the world.

Wow! I've been using the internet since the 90s and I have never had my hair blown back by a webpage before. The isometric view certainly hits the nostalgia button. Edit (from the site): "Japan was once globally renowned for its people's quality of unique creativity teamed with a pioneering mindset. Their innovation and inventions changed the world. But that golden era has long been gone. It seems that the quality Ja…

It's bold of the Nintendo family to make such statements about Japanese society when they can't even get their own company under control themselves. Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company and it's true of other Japanese companies as well. They seem to be scared of the internet and goes out of their way to claim copyright infringement on anything fan made having to do with their intellectual pr…

Nintendo is probably the most universally hated gaming company

What? I think you need to step out of your echo chamber, I would argue Nintendo is probably the most universally beloved game/toy/entertainment company out there, maybe tied with Lego.
