I question the origin of this land they call Croatia

I question the origin of this land they call Croatia, remnant of Pangea, 4.6 billion years ago.


Similar in so many ways to landscapes found on continents far away.


Pine needles of brown trimming paved paths like North America's Adirondack forests.

Abundant marine life with giant clams, sea squirts, fishes, and sea cucumbers like Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

Flowering angiosperms with their attractive an vibrantly colors like Asia's tropical rain forests.

Land seemly still unexplored with minimal terrestrial mammals like Antarctica's glacial ice sheets.

Un-manicured flora permitted to grow untamed like South America's countryside.

Oppressive heat burning out grass draining it of color like Africa's Savannah.


So much the same, yet still somewhat different now that continental plates have drifted so far away.
