← Wildlife Atlas · A–Z

Pinus strobus , commonly denominated the eastern white pine , northern white pine , white pine , Weymouth pine (British), and soft pine is a large pine native to eastern North America. It occurs from Newfoundland, Canada west through the Great Lakes region to southeastern Manitoba and Minnesota, United States, and south along the Appalachian Mountains and upper Piedmont to northernmost Georgia and perhaps very rarely in some of the higher elevations in northeastern Alabama.

Wildlife Atlas — real photographs

🦁 All species

Animals chosen by hand, plus every species the world photographs most — each with real research-grade photographs from the iNaturalist community.

🔤 Every species, A–Z

The full atlas in one page: 403 species in alphabetical order.

🦋 Monarch Butterfly

Famous for a two-to-three-generation migration across a continent each autumn — no individual makes the round trip, yet the map is inherited. Milkweed is the only nursery its caterpillars accept.

🐅 Bengal Tiger

The most numerous tiger subspecies, mostly inside India’s reserves. Fewer than 4,000 remain wild — an increase from the ~1,600 lows of the 1970s, proof that protection works when funded.

🐆 Snow Leopard

High-central-Asia ghost: fur the colour of scree, a tail nearly body-length for balance on cliffs. Counted from camera traps and scat DNA because almost nobody has ever seen one at close range.

🐼 Giant Panda

A carnivore’s gut on a bamboo diet — it must eat 10+ hours daily. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 after reserve expansion grew wild numbers by roughly 17% in a decade.

🐘 African Savanna Elephant

The largest land animal: up to 6 tonnes, ears that work as radiators, and a matriarchal memory for water across decades. A keystone engineer — whole landscapes depend on their browsing.

🦊 Red Fox

The widest-ranging land carnivore on Earth — native across the northern hemisphere and introduced (and damaging) in Australia. Hunts rodents by hearing, pouncing ear-down into snow.
