Animals A–Z

World Deer began as an encyclopedia of deer — and grew into an in-depth reference for the wider animal kingdom. This master index gathers every species and animal profile on the site, from all 41 deer species we cover to wolf subspecies, bears, big cats, bats, squirrels, hedgehogs, pangolins, marine mammals, and dozens of one-of-a-kind animals like the okapi and the platypus. Every entry below links to a full profile: what the animal looks like, where it lives, what it eats, and how it’s doing in the wild.
