I always think of it as a rabbit, but was shocked to find out recently that other people don't see ti that way.

Someone driving a car.
I think there was an advert that portrayed the map of britian this way, and now I cant see anything else
cornwall is the feet, wales is the wheel and hands, scotland is the head.
Incidentally, does anyone else see a huge outline of a man in a cloak, in the map of the world?
the east outline of africa is the edge of the trailing cloak. the persian gulf is a hand, the east edge of india is the top of the head and the face is burma/ thailand/ indonesia.
There is a scientific term for this - pareidolia (see: http://skepdic.com/pareidol.html ). this is why people can see faces in the fire, a man in the moon, and why people see images of Jesus, Mary, etc in all sorts of everyday patterns

The outline of Great Britain only reminds of Great Britain, but Wales alone reminds me of a pig's head.

Yeah, I can see why you'd say it would look like a rabbit.
Wanna see something cool? Look at a map of the entire Middle East. From Egypt to Iran to Turkey. If you have a good map, you can see an angel with its head bowed, its wings out, and its hands crossed.

Turkey is the head. Iran is one of the wings. Saudi Arabia is the body...

It reminds me of a weather map that I see on TV.

It reminds me of what a poor state the politicians and Jade Goody are letting this country turn into!

Ireland is a bear. Wales is a pig's head. Fife is a Scottie Dog.

At school the teacher likened it to a man riding on a pig!

I see it as an old man with a beard and hat. He's got a bad back, so he's hunched over a little.

I´ve always seen it as a witch on a broomstick, with a huge nose...
