This page is a portal to all living things -- the world's flora and fauna. Click on the photographs to examine the taxonomy, natural history, distribution, abundance, and ecology of each group.

We hope this information is useful in education, science and resource management and enjoyable to non-specialists. We encourage students to use the photographs in class projects. However, all rights are reserved by the photographers, artists, and authors. No photograph, map, illustration, or text may be used for commercial purposes or duplicated on other websites without permission, unless otherwise stated.

We seek your help to add more images, maps, and text. Within 10 years, our goal is to have an on-line encyclopedia of life with images, maps, identification keys, and other information on a million species living around the globe. Please email <somebody@discoverlife.org> if you wish to help us.
