497 species
Browse animals
Structured paths through all 497 guides: taxonomic class, order, and family, diet, habitat or biome, IUCN status, and native region — each answer-first for search and AI overviews.
Browse by class (mammals, birds, fish, and more), by diet (carnivores, herbivores, omnivores…), by habitat (ocean, rainforest, savanna…), by IUCN status, or by native region — five fast paths to the same 497 species guides.
Taxonomy
By animal class
Every animal belongs to a class — mammals, birds, fish, reptiles, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates.
Taxonomy
By order & family
Every species guide is filed under its scientific order and family — from Carnivora to Passeriformes, Felidae to Corvidae.
Orders
Families
Feeding ecology
By diet
Group species by what they eat — carnivores, herbivores, omnivores, insectivores, and filter feeders — from each profile’s Diet fact.
Ecology
By habitat & biome
Ocean, rainforest, savanna, desert, and more — or open the full habitat hubs for threats and classroom context.
IUCN Red List
By conservation status
Conservation status reflects how close a species is to extinction, following the IUCN Red List categories.
Frequently asked questions
What ways can I browse animals on Global Animal Guide?
You can browse all 497 species by taxonomic class, order, or family, IUCN conservation status, diet type, habitat or biome, native region, or the A–Z index. Each path leads to the same answer-first species guides.
How does browse by diet or habitat work?
Diet and habitat facets are derived from the Diet and Habitat facts on each species profile. Keyword matching assigns animals to carnivore/herbivore-style diet groups and to biomes such as ocean, rainforest, or desert. An animal can appear in more than one facet.
What is the difference between habitat browse and habitat hubs?
Habitat browse pages are fast species grids. Habitat hubs at /habitats add longer GEO-ready explainers — what the biome is, iconic species, threats, and classroom links — optimised for answer engines and teaching.
