To View Thumbnails

Click on the main categories in the Category Tree on the upper left to view images. Most Categories contain so many images that they have been divided up into sub categories. Just click on the sub categories to view their contents. As the tree expands and opens you will find either more sub categories or final categories. Final categories have a page icon like this: . Click on the final categories to view thumbnails of each image assigned to that species or subject.

Below each thumbnail are two peices of information:

1/ A species code and unique image number which, together, make up the image ID code.

2/ A brief description, including the common and scientific name where applicable.

For Special Searches

If you are looking for a particular species use the keyword search. We recommend that you use one of the scientific or taxonomic names for rapid and specific results. For example if you want images of Pilot Whales (Globicephala macrorhynchus) a search using either "Globicephala" or "macrorhynchus" will return just images of Pilot Whales. Using the common name "Pilot" will include images of other unwanted species such as "Pilot Fish (Naucrates ductor)".
