On April 16th 2025 the US federal government has proposed to change the interpretation of the endangered species act so that it no longer protects habitat.

This is open for public comment until the end of May 19th. Please comment and make your voice heard.

Wildlife need their habitat. If the ESA redefines harm so that habitat is no longer protected, the implications for wildlife would be catastrophic.

New Species Added: Basselope!

It's time to finally to announce a secret I've been keeping for weeks: the addition of an incredibly elusive animal to the repository collection!

Meet the basselope: a rare species that was thought to be extinct until a last surviving individual was rediscovered in 1986. Thanks to some incredible breeding successes in the subsequent years, the basselope population rebounded successfully. Now found in all continents but Antartica, modern basselopes have proven to be a highly adaptable species, and populations in different regions display a wide range of phenotypic variability.

Meet.... the basselope!

Basselope, while not domesticated, regularly choose to den in human homes. The North American population has a particular fondness for couches.

The "jungle" phenotype has lost their antlers over time, likely due to ease of movement through dense plants and vines. They are known for their habit of swinging their ears through the air as they move: while the origin of this behavior is unknown, it's theorized this adaptation may be both a form of enhanced thermoregulation and a way of communicating with conspecifics.

One isolated population of basselope has begun to shed their antlers seasonally, and they have begun a new annual tradition of posing against a backdrop of their previous year's accomplishments.

One of the most elusive morphs is the "arctic" basselope. Despite sharing a range with other basselope populations - which is not all that far north - they're known for developing a strikingly colored and oddly jingly winter coat. The genes responsible for this seasonal color expression are as of yet unknown.

More super-rare, never-before-seen basselope photos can be found here!

Artists creating derivative or transformative works (without AI) have blanket permission from the basselopes to use these and all photos of them in the repository as references, including for works that will/may be sold.

The Animal Photo Reference Repository is an independent, permanently open-access project and funded entirely by donations, which allows me the creative freedom to have way, way too much fun on April 1st.

A big thank you to Chef, Olive, Olive the second, Frannie, Annie, Sunny, Rupert, and Turbo for their patience with the antlers; and equal gratitude to their humans @somethingrother, @painted-bees, @wildfaeworld, @stinkybrowndogs, Jenny, Anne, and Sara for playing along!

Q: I recently adopted a paladin from a shelter. he didn't have a breed label but they said they thought he was Helmite? He seemed pretty happy with guarding the stuff I put in his enclosure for a few days, but recently he's been escaping to herd the neighbor's children around when they get in the street. He also doesn't seem as alert as Helmites are supposed to be? I don't know if he doesn't like something about his enclosure or if the shelter misidentified him. Picture included. A: This actually looks like a paladin of Torm! People unfamiliar with paladin care frequently confuse them because of their similar markings. Like Helmites, Tormtar are a guardian breed, but they tend to be less high-strung and don't form the same attachments to their territory and toys. If your paladin is leaving his enclosure, he's probably bored and looking for more appropriate stimuli. Try taking him on a heroic quest, or giving him more active tasks around the house. Tormtar are also more social, so if you have the resources I would consider adopting another Triadic paladin. (Be careful not to keep him with an actual paladin of Helm. Despite their visual similarities, they have a tendency to fight, and since you picked this guy up from a shelter you don't know whether he's been socialized to get along with Neutral paladins.)

I love that the refinement levels of Obi-Wan and Count Dooku mean that you could definitely imagine both of them simultaneously preparing for a lightsaber duel while also rebuking their teammates who are asking them to do the efficient thing and use a blaster. Maybe they can confide in each other during the duel.

LOL yes, and when they're force ghosts they can bond over hating blasters without having to duel
