onezoom.org - zoomable tree of life containing all known living species.

This is very cool, an online tree of life classification map that you can zoom in and out of to individual species. Think it's been around for a few years so apologies if already mentioned.

I'll start you at one you'll be familiar with, try zooming out then back into something more exotic.

Excellent, especially fun when you use the search box.

You can sponsor a "leaf" for a species for as little as £5. I'm trying to find something I like that hasn't been taken.

Insects and fungi are fun - properly fractal. Have a search for mucor amphibiorum if you want to see how deep it goes....
