Animal Maze Section Updates

October 30, 2025

I have been thinking about updating some of the older sections of the website and I am starting with the Animal Maze section. Most of these mazes were from 2019 and have not been touched since. Here is how I changed the Animal Maze section of the site to improve it.

Remade some mazes to improve their solvability

I went back I changed many of my mazes of the week earlier this year using new techniques I have learned through the years. I didn’t do anything too advanced on these but did touch the majority of them. Here are 2 examples that illustrate most of my changes:

For this Mule maze I changed the start/goal to words from arrows. This increases the amount of the page the illustration can take up, making it larger and easier to solve:

Original mule maze

Updated mule maze

For this Iguana maze I changed the width of the “cuts” that form the pathway at the start/goal and internally. This makes them easier to see on a small screen. I also increased the size slightly.

Iguana old maze

Iguana revised maze

Most people would not notice these changes, but I hope this helped improve the section to the future users !

I revised many mazes to be more kid friendly

This is a fancy way to say I made many of the mazes easier. For most it meant redrawing the maze completely, but a few I made minor changes to. This example shows the more extreme version with the Hippo Maze, one is clearly for kids and the other for advanced maze solvers !

I added new animal mazes !

New mazes include an armadillo, jellyfish, urchin, turtle, and zebra. In total there are now 47 mazes on the page from 30, plus a preview of 3 additional comic book style mazes available in that section of the site. Here is a fox, or zorro maze in Spanish as an example:

I created 3 new free Animal Maze Books.

DE LA A A LA Z UN LIBRO DE LABERINTOS DE ANIMALES

I themed them From A to Z, so not all of the animal mazes are included, but 26, one for each letter are in the books. One version is in full color, while the other version is in black and white, making it a maze/coloring book. I also got requests for more of this version. It has been very popular with my Dinosaur Maze Book if you missed that one !

The third version has 27 mazes and is in Spanish (you can thank ñ for the extra maze). It is available with all the Spanish language books and in the archive of Spanish language mazes. I had to make some new mazes to cover all the letters in Spanish.

Animal Mazes - A look at various wild and exotic Animal Mazes

January 28, 2021

Previously I showed you a collection of some Barnyard Animal mazes. Lots of fun animals you would find on a farm and also designed to be solved by children. Today I take you through the other animals that are more commonly found in the wild. Animal Mazes are some of my most popular and always get a lot of downloads. Some are realistic pictures while others are cartoonish so you’ll see a variety of maze styles . Let’s take a look !

18 Interesting Exotic Animal Mazes:

We start off in the ocean with this Walrus Maze. I really like the whiskers on the face of this guy.

Our next maze, the Quail maze highlights the wonderful feathers of the quail ( as best I could make them).

We go from the ocean to the sky to the ground with this Iguana Maze. Unlike other mazes this was made using a free drawn construction.

And then there is this Newt Maze, also free drawn and perfect for kids.

And now one of my former daily mazes that won some voting contests, The Bald Eagle Maze. This is definitely not for kids. The construction method is a mix of vertical and horizontal styles.

Another daily maze that became a winner as Maze of the month, the Hippopotamus Maze (Thank you spell check). This Hippo was made using a standard Equal construction method.

I really like this Penguin Maze. It is one of the few mazes that only uses an internal section to create the maze surface, using this penguins nice white belly !

A Bird Maze that has a bit of a cartoon look and is a bit more challenging for most kids.

We return to the plains of Africa for this Rhinoceros Maze. I don’t know about you, but I would not want to make this guy mad !

And we can’t forget the real big guy, the beautiful elephant ! Here is an Elephant Maze for you to enjoy !

Let’s return closer to home and an animal that I see all the time where I live. Here we have the Rabbit Maze. Also a nice maze for Easter.

There are some animals I have never seen but I would like to, like a Lemur. Enjoy this Lemur Maze.

How about we go back to the water for this cartoon Octopus Maze

Never get between a racoon and it’s food. Instead try this Raccoon Maze !

Aaaannnnnddddd aaaa sssslllllloooottttthhhh mmmmaaaaazzzzeeee. Or a sloth maze when said at regular speed !

And we of course have a Monkey Maze. I don’t remember what kind of monkey this is…

This one has a bit of a different look than most of my mazes with a background to better show the jumping dolphin. Dolphin Maze

But the maze we end with has to be the Vulture Maze. A bird you do not want to see, especially if it seems to be following you !!!

Since I made this blog post I have transitioned to making maze art, including an animal (with more to come in the future) !

Giraffe Maze

I also started making Comic Book style mazes - many of which include new animal mazes !

Animal Mazes - A Look at Barnyard Animal Mazes

January 26, 2021

Some of my most popular mazes are the mazes I have made of animals. A few of them were voted maze of the month at various times and then made the maze of the year voting. If you are going to solve a maze why not solve a maze that is fun to look at and can be enjoyed as a picture when you are not solving it ! Today I will take you through a collection of my Barnyard Animal Mazes. Some are realistic pictures while others are cartoonish so you’ll see a variety of maze styles . Let’s take a look !

9 Barnyard Animal Mazes:

We start off with a kids version of a Chicken Maze.

And the next barnyard maze is the Rooster Maze. Big fan of the tail feathers.

And they are probably friends with this smiling Pig which looks kind of skinny (is it a piglet ?). You know this pig is looking to root around in some mud and get some food. And they have a wonderful tail. Pig Maze !
