I have had this one bookmarked for quite awhile. I think that it is a great way for different learners. Thanks for reminding me.

This is quite an impressive project. I have seen similar attempts in the past, but nothing as interactive or comprehensive. The U.S. federal government (with help from Smithsonian) has been working for years on the Integrated Taxonimic Information System (ITIS), which is supposed to be a database with the accurate taxonomic information for every species in the world. This site is sort of like a Wiki in that anyone can submit information about a species, which then goes under extensive review. I…

This site is sort of like a Wiki in that anyone can submit information about a species, which then goes under extensive review.

WOW - this is fantastic! My specialty is animal folklore and mythology: it will be excellent to have a resource like this to link to and share with my students.

I think this is one of the greatest projects of our time on earth. Congratulations to E.O. Wilson for being such a visionary, for having the motivation and wisdom to get this going. Thank you, Greg, for bringing this to our attention.
