The Reddit page is described as: “A subreddit for anything and everything to do with Google Maps, Google Earth, and Google Street View.”
It has thousands of members who share and discuss their finds.
User u/No_Raptors posted the island image to the Reddit thread and wrote: “Baby Yoda Island”.
The island does have two large protruding areas that could be interpreted as Yoda ears.
However, not everyone agreed with this in the comments.

One Reddit user replied: “Looks like a cow to me.”
While others claimed the island looked like Shrek, Dumbo the elephant and even Stitch from Disney’s Lilo & Stitch franchise.
There are some people who do agree with the Yoda comparison.
One wrote: “I see baby Yoda rapped in a blanket.”
Another claimed: “I see old Yoda with his little walking stick laid across his chest.”
If you want to check out the island on Google Maps for yourself it’s called Gunner’s Quoin and it’s located in Mauritius.
Google describes it as: “Grass-topped rocky isle with a nature preserve, swarming sharks & ruins of a sugar plantation.”
