 Selecting a gallery
Images are categorised into galleries to make your search quicker and easier. Wherever possible select a gallery before you enter key words. To search several galleries at the same time, select ALL GALLERIES.

Entering key words
Separate words with a single space. Do not use + or -, or the words and, or, not between words.

Word order
The search engine will search for your key words in any order: e.g. dog running or running dog.

Action or Activity
To find an image of a subject performing a certain action or activity use the "-ing" form of a verb (e.g., eating, sleeping, running).

You can use the key word grooming to find several specific actions, such as an animal washing, licking, bathing, or preening. Use the key words mutual grooming to find one animal grooming another.

Pedigree or non-pedigree domestic animals

• To search for a pedigree, or purebred animal, use the key word pedigree.
• To search for a non-pedigree or crossbred animal, use the key word non-pedigree.

Refining your search for one or more than one subject in an image
Regardless of whether a word is entered in singular or plural form, both forms will be searched. E.g. dog or dogs will produce the same results.

To view images that contain only one subject (e.g. one dog) highlight the phrase one subject per image. To view images that contain more than one subject (e.g. two or more dogs) highlight the phrase more than one subject per image.

Action or Activity
To find an animal performing a specific action or activity use the “-ing” form of a verb (e.g. eating, drinking, running).

Key Words for Different Sexes
An entire male is called a bull. A female that has calved is called a cow. A young female that has not calved is called a heifer. A neutered male is called a bullock or steer. The words ox or oxen denote mature neutered males that are used for working.
Young cattle
Use the key word young. To find very young cattle use the key word calf (for one subject) or calves (for more than one subject).
