These terms are the rules for using Creature Library. We have kept them short and in plain English. By using the site, you agree to them.
Last updated: November 9, 2026
Using the site
Creature Library is free to read, with no account needed. You may use it for learning, for homework and in the classroom. Please do not misuse the site, for example by trying to break into it, overload it, or copy it in bulk with automated tools.
Children under 13 are welcome to read every page. We ask that they email us only with the help of a parent, teacher or other adult. Our privacy policy explains how we handle personal information, and the short answer is that we collect almost none.
For learning, not professional advice
Our profiles are written to teach and inform. We work to keep them accurate, but animal science changes and mistakes can happen, so the information is provided as is. It is not veterinary, medical, legal or safety advice. If you need advice about a pet, an injured animal, or a bite or sting, please ask a qualified professional.
Wild animals can be dangerous. Never approach, feed or handle a wild animal because of something you read here.
About the illustrations
The pictures on this site are illustrations created with AI image tools, then selected, checked and edited by a person. They are not photographs, and they are not pictures of any specific individual animal.
We draw them to be accurate and check them against photographic references, but an AI illustration can get a detail wrong in a way a photograph cannot. Do not rely on an illustration here to identify an animal in the wild, to tell a venomous species from a harmless one, or for any purpose where being wrong would matter. Use a field guide or a photographic reference for that.
If you spot an illustration that looks wrong, please tell us.
Sharing and using our content
The text, illustrations, design and graphics on this site belong to Creature Library. You are welcome to:
- read, print and save pages for your own learning;
- share pages with a class, print them for students, and show them on a classroom screen;
- quote short passages, as long as you name Creature Library and link to the page.
Please do not republish whole profiles, copy our illustrations for use elsewhere, feed the site into a dataset or a scraper, or sell anything made from our content, without our written permission. If you would like to use something in another way, just ask. We say yes to most reasonable requests from teachers.
If you think we have used your work
We respect the work of photographers, illustrators and writers. If you believe something on this site uses your work without permission, email us with a link to the page and details of your work, and we will look into it promptly and correct or remove it where needed.
Messages you send us
When you send us a correction, a suggestion or an idea, you agree that we may use it to improve the site, without owing you anything for it. We will never publish your name or email address without asking you first.
Links to other websites
Some pages link to other websites, including video sites. We do not control those sites and we are not responsible for their content or for how they handle your information.
Our responsibility
We do our best to keep the site accurate, safe and available, but we cannot promise that it will always be error-free or online. To the extent the law allows, Creature Library is not liable for any loss or damage that comes from using the site or relying on its information. Nothing in these terms limits any rights you have that cannot be limited by law.
Who runs the site and which law applies
Creature Library is run from India. These terms are governed by the laws of India, and any dispute about them will be handled by the courts in Patna, Bihar, India. If you live elsewhere, you keep any consumer rights that the law where you live gives you and that cannot be taken away by an agreement like this one.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms from time to time. When we do, we will change the date at the top of this page. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.
