The Animal Database is for anyone who wants to learn about animals. Students can do research for animal reports. Naturalists can create animal programming. Educators can prepare units on animal classification, their range, habitat, characteristics, habits, reproduction, conservation status, etc. Each animal has a printable diagram. Many have links to coloring, labeling, and/or drawing pages.
