Terms of Use

Last updated: November 15, 2026

By using WildFacts you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not use the site.

General educational information

Our articles and tools are general educational information. Animal sizes, weights and lifespans vary between individuals, populations and studies; we give ranges from cited sources, and tool results show those same numbers. They are not exact measurements of any particular animal.

Wildlife safety

Never approach, feed or touch wild animals, and follow local wildlife rules and guidance from park rangers and tour operators. In the United States, marine mammals and many sea turtles are protected by federal law. Information about whether an animal is dangerous describes typical risk and is not a safety guarantee.

Pets

Pages about animals kept as pets (such as axolotls) are general information. For your pet's health, ask a veterinarian.

Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, WildFacts is not liable for any loss or injury arising from use of the information on this site.
