This is a cartogram of the world's amphibian diversity. Clearly, this does not resemble most traditional maps of the world. Regions which contain large numbers of amphibian species are illustrated as more pronounced, while areas with low numbers are virtually non-existent. As I would have expected, the rain forest makes South America the most important area on this map.
