No. AnimalsWork is an independent educational publication. We research each profile carefully and cite our general understanding of the species, but nothing on this site should replace advice from a qualified veterinarian, wildlife biologist, or other relevant professional.

We reference the IUCN Red List’s categories — Least Concern, Vulnerable, Endangered and Critically Endangered — as the standard conservation classification system, and update our profiles as assessments change.

Yes — use the Contact page to suggest a species, breed, or topic. We prioritize requests based on reader interest and how much reliable information is available.

We’re open to contributions from people with relevant expertise or direct experience. Reach out through the Contact page with a short pitch and we’ll follow up.

The site is supported by display advertising. Ad placements are clearly marked and never influence the editorial content of our profiles or articles — see our Editorial Policy for details.

Our written content and original illustrations are protected by copyright. Contact us if you’d like to request permission to republish or reference something specific.

Animal facts and conservation statuses are reviewed periodically as new data becomes available. Each profile and article displays its last-updated date.
