Tolkienian animals

Did you know that there exist several animals bearing Tolkienish names.





There is also a patagonian shield bug named after Smaug (Planois smaug), a stink bug named after Ancalagon (Tamolia ancalagon), a dinosaur named after the Eye of Sauron (Sauroniops) because the only known part of the dinosaur is a part of its eye and then also Homo floriensis, commonly known as hobbits. And also ents/moving trees in Equador that move 2-3 cm per day

About us

A page for all Tolkien lovers.

We used to run a fan page of the same name on Facebook since 2015 and on Instagram since 2018. Due to the policy changes on those platforms, we decided to move elsewhere. So here we are! You can also find us on MeWe.

The admins are two ladies from Central and South Europe. One of them researches Tolkien’s work academically. So you can expect to find here shared a wide range of contents, from fan art and Tolkienesque crafts, through the professor’s own art and lore, to serious academic insights on his work... anything appreciative of J. R. R. Tolkien’s creation. 

Enjoy!
