    So, since Arkive closed down, which had a number of remarkable images and videos, are there any good websites (besides google) that have good images for lots of different animals? Any help would be appreciated.

    Thanks for the help! I will look at those for sure. Any image wesbistes that are particular to animals of all shapes and sizes and general? For ebird you got that covered, but for invertabretes like Rotifers, Bryozoans, Copepods, and mysids that I am interested in very few exist as far as I know.

    I have seen this website, yes, I even have all of Mr. Sartores animal ark books as well. :)
    As I am a person that is particularly interested in mostly invertebrates, particularly crustaceans and bryozoans, any websites that supply images for lesser-known animals would be nice.

    Macaulay Library is the best for birds.

    So, I tried out some of the websites suggested to me, and I'm sorry to say they weren't that helpful. I mean, they have some stuff but not anything that is particularly helpful. Anything Animal specific? I mean- I won't expect much but I just wish there was some website out there that helped me get good images of the Animals I like, mostly invertebrates.

    Try bugguide. Keep in mind that many invertebrate have few, if any photographs taken of them.
