Animals – Assorted

Posted by Periodicals/Reference Librarian

Spread throughout three folders are the subcategories Animals – Assorted (A-G), (H-N), and (O-Z). These folders are home to about 70 images of animals that do not fall into any of the Picture Collection’s current animal subcategories (there are over 60 subcategories of Animals with thousand of pictures, from Apes and Monkeys to Zebras). Maybe if some of these adorable little creatures find a few more like themselves, they too will have the distinction of having their own folder. I would love to see a folder full of proud platypuses.
