We did an experiment when I was in school to have everyone draw a map of the world, and I was told that people draw the country they're from the largest and the most accurately, whereas other countries are often indistinct shapes and smaller in scale.
This leads me to believe you are somewhere in South America
What I find incredible is that they named this thing WanX, which can alternatively be pronounced Wanks. Nominative Determinism at its finest
Fun fact for anyone who is interested, anomolacaris got its name before it had been fully reconstructed. The only thing they had was one of those curly appendages at the front, and they thought it must have been a shrimp, when in fact it was the mouth part of a much larger, much stranger animal.
It's actually been misidentified three separate times, they kept finding different parts of this animal in isolation and classifying them as new species. The mouth was mistaken for a jellyfish, and the body was mistaken for a sea sponge.
