The University of Michigan's Animal Diversity Web is a collection
of pictures and information about animals. Accounts of individual
species include information on distributions, natural history,
conservation, and economic importance, along with pictures and
sounds if available. Synopses of some higher taxonomic groups
are also provided. The information is arranged in a taxonomic
hierarchy for ease of navigation, and "shortcuts" (either
through searching for specific names or characteristics or through
direct links to some taxa) make it simple to find particular species
or groups of species. <BR>
