About Ohio Wildlife ID and Appreciation

This group was formed to share photos, knowledge and all around appreciation of Ohio's biodiversity. You don't have to be a biologist or have mad camera skills to join in, just bring your photos, knowledge, questions and curiosity.

We welcome photos of the following Ohio native and naturalized life forms:
* Animals including birds, fish, mammals, reptiles, amphibians
* Plants
* Spiders and Insects
* Fungi

Photos that do not belong are photos of:
* Anything outside of Ohio
* Captive exotics such as tigers at the zoo and cultivated tomato plants
* The sky, interesting rock formations and other non-living subjects
* Images which aren't photos
* Amish and Mennonite humans

Inappropriate photos will be booted from the pool.

Other than that there are no upload limits and there are no rules!
