						<p>Over 1.5 million animals in the world have been named so far, and no one is quite
						sure how many there are left to discover. Estimates on the number of animal species in
						the world range from 2 million to 100 million. The rainforests and deep oceans are still
						areas of mystery that have not been penetrated. Who knows how many undiscovered species
						could be living in them?
						
						<p>Of the animals discovered, about 10,000 species are endangered or threatened. And of
						course, there are so many that are already extinct and may never be discovered. Then there
						are those that lived so long ago that we can only find out about them through their fossils.
						I think it is important thought, that every now and then we remind ourselves that numbers
						are only that, and that they cannot express the full story, the whole picture. One and a
						half million is a number hard to imagine, but the sheer size of the number makes me realize
						how little I know, and makes me excited about starting to learn. And knowing that 10,000
						species are in danger of becoming extinct is very different from appreciating what could be
						lost.</p>
						
						<p>The point is that the world is full of mystery, but also that people are full of knowledge.
						There is a whole world out there, one that I hope I will someday be able to explore but as of
						yet have not had the chance to. But through this site, I hope to share the knowledge that I
						learn about the world of animals. So please, explore...</p>
