_{All the old folders had been taken down and replaced. Some of the folders have been renamed and/or combined together to make it easier and less gallery folders for you to look through.
Below is a small blurb (thanks to Google) about each folders meaning, what we do (and possibly don’t) accept, and a link to the gallery itself. If you are unsure on where to submit to, please read below, before leaving a question to the admin.

Folders: Featured: Featured folder is for all deviations hand-picked by admin and members that make it into the monthly page feature. Every new month, 10 new deviations will be selected and placed in this folder and featured on the main page. Selection is picked the 18th of every month. This is based off New Zealand time. Artisan Crafts: Crafts that have been handmade by an individual artist. All crafts are accepted here from culinary arts to ceramics or costumes, as long as it fits within the groups theme. Avians: Aves is the class of vertebrates that comprises the Bird species. We do not accept all bird artwork. Examples of accepted work are: the Grey Owl, Snowy Owl, Kea, Arctic Tern, Penguins, etc... Bears: Bears are a large, heavy, mostly omnivorous mammal of the family Ursidae that walks on the soles of its feet, with thick fur and a very short tail. Not all bears are accepted. Examples are: the Polar Bear, Brown, American Black, and sup-species. Panda Bears, Sloth and Sun Bears (for example) will not be allowed within the group. Canidae: Canidae is the biological family of carnivorous and omnivorous mammals that includes domestic dogs, wolves, foxes, jackals, coyotes, and many other lesser known extant and extinct dog-like mammals. The most popular canines seen in this group are the Arctic Wolf and the Arctic Fox, alongside the Grey Wolf. If you are submitting domestic canines, please make sure the breeds history/origin is that of the 'snowy climates' to fit the groups theme. Cetaceans: The order Cetacea includes the marine mammals commonly known as whales, dolphins, and porpoises. We will accept all Cetacea from all world's oceans, as long as they live or migrate to these areas. Culture and People: This folder is for cultural references and people (such as the Inuit) and people who are a part of the deviation. This can include photographs of travellers in Antarctica to tribes. Felidae: Felidae is the biological family of the cats; a member of this family is called a felid. The most familiar felid is the domestic cat, which first became associated with humans about 10,000 years ago; but the family includes all other wild cats, including the big cats. The group will include: Snow Leopards, Lynx, etc.. Fish: A fish is any member of a paraphyletic group of organisms that consist of all gill-bearing aquatic craniate animals that lack limbs with digits. Common fish to be seen are: Trout, Salmon, Char, Grayling and Herring (as a few examples). Literature and Comics: Literature and Comic work is simple and straight forward. This folder we accept all work relating to animals, nature and polar/alpine areas of the world. We accept novels, poetry and anything in between. All work must be your own. Mustelidae: Mustelidae (from Latin mustela, weasel), commonly referred to as the weasel family, is a family of carnivorous mammals. Stoats, Wolverines, Weasels, Minks and Martens are accepted here. Other Animals: This folder is to place all artwork that has more than one type of animal in it (eg. polar bear + fox). This helps admin and members view work separately, than in more than one folder. Any other animal that does not have a category may also fit into this group. Pinnipeds: Their bodies are well adapted to the aquatic habitat where they spend most of their lives. Their limbs consist of short, wide, flat flippers. Pinnipeds, often generalised as seals, are a widely distributed and diverse group of fin-footed, typically sleek-bodied and barrel-shaped marine mammals which are semiaquatic comprising the families Odobenidae, Otariidae and Phocidae. Animals are: True Seals, Walrus', Fur Seals, Sea Lions, etc.. Rabbits and Hares: Rabbits are small mammals in the family Leporidae of the order Lagomorpha, found in several parts of the world. Animals allowed: Snowshoe Hare, Mountain Hare, etc.. Stamps and Customisation: This folder is simple. Stamps that can/will give support and love to animals, habitats, places of alpine and tundra places. Customisation of GIFS and Icons are accepted into this folder. Tribal Designs: Designs that give meaning in their design, and generally have the same style of art. Good examples of this can be seen here: wildspiritwolf.deviantart.com/… - WildSpiritWolf. Ungulates: Ungulates are several groups of mammals, most of which use the tips of their toes, usually hoofed, to sustain their whole body weight while moving. Accepted animals will include: Musk Ox, Yak, Bighorn, Moose and Caribou, etc.. Water, Sky and Landscapes: Waterscapes, Skyscapes and Landscapes have all been combined to feature deviations of all these backgrounds. This folder is self explained, however, we do ask of you to please name the location when submitting so we can accept your work.

NOTE: We do ask of members to please have the animal name when submitting to the group in their artist's comments. This helps admin sort through animals of arctic and apline areas. We will ask you about it in the submission process. If you cannot tell us, and we do not know, the submission will be declined. This will allow the group to stay strong and on track.

Any other questions, please send a note to the group or leave a comment below..}
