[tdwg] Species pages and video

[David Remsen]

I used Google Earth to visualize some GBIF data for our new portal  
rollout in July

Sharks and Rays of South Africa links occurrence data to taxon- 
related icons so that you get some notion of what all these data  
actually refer

I also used it to visualize migration patterns of barn swallows and  
distribution of hummingbird data but this is a bit of a longer video  
with Google Earth only at the end.
