1. Posts must include a picture, video, or gif of a reasonably cute mammal, insect, fungi, or plant. (We do not count landscapes, made-made structures, lectures, people, and other completely unrelated matters.)

2. Put the name of the subject in the title of the post. (This sub prides itself on an air of inquisitiveness, please post your subject's name in the title so people know what it is. :))

3. Keep photos/videos/gifs reasonably good quality. (In order to keep a clean looking subreddit, we prefer that all media be standard or high visual quality.)

4. No domestic animals UNLESS: It is a hybrid of a wild animal, It is a wild animal being fostered in some way, or, It is a VERY UNIQUE/RARE breed for aesthetic reasons. (We aim to show people interesting, cool animals that depart from the norm. Even if you fit the bill for posting your pet, know that the other rules still apply to you (I.E. Rule #6 Little to no human involvement).)

5. No photoshop/intense photo editing. (Give us the real deal! No fake photoshops and heavy filters.)

6. Little to no human involvement. (We are aiming to look at nature, not human activities. If your post has monologuing (in speech or text), kids playing around, people everywhere, even just a person hogging the limelight, your post is subject to getting removed.)

7. No blatant self promotion. (This sub is for learning and fun, we are not a platform for self promotion. No alluding to your youtube channel in the title, putting the name of your videography/photography company in title, etc. Blatant self promotion will be treated as an exploitation of this subreddit. You may however make a comment on your post about your videography/photography company, etc.)

8. No Youtube informational Videos. IE: "Top 10 cutest..." "Did you know..." "This cool creature..."

Hope you have fun and nice times here!
