Problem Animal storymap

[jak487]

Hi @cdil!

Here's my storymap: Problem Animal

Problems I encountered:

• Animals
• classic story map templates offer little flexibility in terms of layout
• the Cascade template does not have a free-floating text box
• my storymap feels like a more stable and interactive powerpoint
• the ease of pulling media from an archive can be fun and random
• the ArcGIS maps are by far the most interesting and powerful element
• this story will be forgotten and die like a Tumblr page
