Ah yes, the iconic European zebras, majestically running through the palm tree forests of the Ukrainian steppe on the way to their breeding grounds on the shores of Caspian Bay
Looks like the Caspian Sea managed to link up with the Indian Ocean, Japan has been flipped upside down, Australia grew a tumor, the Mediterranean Sea has been drained so that Europe and Africa and join together, and lastly, Antarctica has been Thanos'd.
Maybe the extinct Panthera atrox? Although since they were cousins of P. spelaea, which seem not to have had manes, it seems more likely that it's just another case of mistaken distribution.
A mountain lion male is just about the same size as the African lioness average. They also look a lot alike.
To escape the power of the Infinity Gauntlet, Cambodia and Japan was forced to invade their neighbours and settle in Bangkok and Sakhalin respectively. Bhutan, Nepal, Bangladesh and Laos, however, were gone, reduced to atoms, while China conquered Vietnam, ushering in the Fifth Era of Northern Domination.
Seems a little controversial what they did with the Holy Land…
Japan, Nepal, Bhutan, Cambodia, Bangladesh, and Laos got the Atlantis treatment while China took over Vietnam, thus cementing Chinese domination of the Viets once again for the gazillionth time.

Not sure if this counts, but look at the map in the back of this image of LBJ's birthday
What did they do to Australia?!
Some projections should just never be used.
Well.... there are some legitimate applications for the Azimuthal Equidistant Projection..... this doesn't happen to be one of them
From this website, cropped from this image, I bring you the American continents, as they were known in 1876!
Clearly the most accurate map of the time.

I'm not sure this is meant to be educational but I'm certain that its not a shitpost (idk if this site has an enforced definition for such a thing or not...) however its damn neat and isn't necessarily great at communication if the viewer can't deduce that its reversed the land with the oceans thus turning the mid-oceab ridges and trenches into the highest places on the new land and vice versa.
It's clever, though the new mountains don't really match OTL oceanic ridges, etc - for example, there should be mountains all the way up the middle of the Atlantic continent.
