Wildlife Atlas — real photographs

🦁 All species

Animals chosen by hand, plus every species the world photographs most — each with real research-grade photographs from the iNaturalist community.

🔤 Every species, A–Z

The full atlas in one page: 403 species in alphabetical order.

🦋 Monarch Butterfly

Famous for a two-to-three-generation migration across a continent each autumn — no individual makes the round trip, yet the map is inherited. Milkweed is the only nursery its caterpillars accept.

🐅 Bengal Tiger

The most numerous tiger subspecies, mostly inside India’s reserves. Fewer than 4,000 remain wild — an increase from the ~1,600 lows of the 1970s, proof that protection works when funded.

🐆 Snow Leopard

High-central-Asia ghost: fur the colour of scree, a tail nearly body-length for balance on cliffs. Counted from camera traps and scat DNA because almost nobody has ever seen one at close range.

🐼 Giant Panda

A carnivore’s gut on a bamboo diet — it must eat 10+ hours daily. Downgraded from Endangered to Vulnerable in 2016 after reserve expansion grew wild numbers by roughly 17% in a decade.

🐘 African Savanna Elephant

The largest land animal: up to 6 tonnes, ears that work as radiators, and a matriarchal memory for water across decades. A keystone engineer — whole landscapes depend on their browsing.

🦊 Red Fox

The widest-ranging land carnivore on Earth — native across the northern hemisphere and introduced (and damaging) in Australia. Hunts rodents by hearing, pouncing ear-down into snow.
