Although photos and illustrations aren’t essential if an article contains good information, they help greatly. Send all available quality photos; we can use prints, slides or good digital photos. Both color and black and white photos are acceptable. Sketches and diagrams help too. Photo submissions, especially of live animals in their natural surroundings, are welcomed with or without an article.

Include your name and address on the back of the photo. Please do not use a ballpoint pen to write on photos as you will dent the photo. We are not responsible to return photos that do not have name and address attached. .

If you send the photos by electronic submission, save them in a jpeg format at least 600 dpi. They will be converted to a form and size that will load quickly.
