Combining Africa And South America
At Strange Maps: The Afro-Latinosaurus Rex.
If you pick up South America and put it on top of Africa, you get this:

Then, if you rotate them 90 degrees to the left, you get this:
The narrow southern strip of South America shared by Chile and Argentina is the beast's lower jaw, Africa's southern part its upper jaw. The big, blunt bulk of West Africa is the animal's neck. Lake Victoria, the greatest of African lakes, doubles as the menacing eye of the Afro-Latinosaurus
I wonder if that was intentional, or just a coincidence?
