During a vacation, a group of us, Dutch students, became captivated by the diversity of wildlife and the unique biomes across the globe. The more we explored, the more questions we had about animals and their habitats, and the more we realized how difficult it was to find a single place online that offered trustworthy, well-organized, and engaging information. Many websites presented facts in a scattered way, leaving us unsure what to believe.

Therefore we decided to create that place ourselves: a platform where anyone, from curious students to passionate nature lovers, could discover and learn about their favorite animals with confidence. This vision grew into our Animal Compendium. As we searched for the perfect name, AnimalAtlas immediately felt right—a name that is memorable and instantly tells you what the platform is about.

With the concept and name in place, we began reaching out to organizations and partners to ensure the information we shared was accurate and reliable. Through collaboration and our own continuous learning, we expanded both our knowledge and the depth of the compendium.

Today, AnimalAtlas reflects our commitment to accuracy and education. We strive to make it a recognized resource for biologists, scientists, and anyone who loves nature and wildlife. Above all, we are dedicated to building a platform where our visitors can explore the natural world with curiosity, confidence, and inspiration and are looking forward to providing you the best information about animals for years to come!
