This web site is an animal photo gallery and archives ANIMAL-RELATED images and photographs including pet animals. You can upload your own photos of animals to this photo gallery and share them with people all over the world.

You can still enter into old version of Animal Pictures Archive, where you will access some animal sounds, movies, cliparts, and animated GIF images. However, note that the old photo gallery will not be updated anymore.

Upload Tip : Recommended image type is JPEG files, though file formats such as BMP, GIF, PNG, and TIFF are also supported. Note that upon upload all images are stored in JPEG format. Annotation in English is preferred but any language is possible.

Search Tip : Use singular and plural form together to retrieve as many images as possible. For example, use "duck ducks" or "duck*" rather than "duck" or "ducks" to retrieve all duck images.

Animal Pictures Archive was first established in 1995 to archive animal photos posted to some Usenet newsgroups. It had been worked until 2002, then stopped about a year due to the manager's physical and mental retardation. In early 2004, he had almost recovered but could not recover all the original contents of Animal Pictures Archive. Thus he decided to develop new web site where people can share their own animal photographs, an animal photo album. This is the result.

Animal Pictures Archive would like to thank the GIIS group for kindly permitting to use the KRISTAL Information Retrieval and Management System in this web site. A.P.A animal photo album was developed on this IRMS system using C++ and PHP.
