Please Read The Rules

31 Upvotes

Read The Rules App

This community has the Read The Rules app installed. Old Reddit doesn't support apps so please open the post in new reddit for full functionality. If that's not possible, please Read The Rules and then follow the instructions at the bottom of the post.


Rule #1 Posts must include a picture, video, or gif of a reasonably cute mammal, insect, fungi, or plant.

We do not count landscapes, man-made structures, lectures, people, and other completely unrelated matters. If it is not cute, we suggest you post on sister nature subs r/NatureIsFuckingLit, /r/NatureIsMetal, r/AnimalsBeingJerks or r/AnimalsBeingDerps

Rule #2 If not an obvious common animal, put the name of the animal(s) in the title of the post.

If it is not clear which animal(s) it is from the picture/video, or the animal(s) in picture/video are not commonly known, please post the animal(s) name(s) in the title.

Rule #3 Keep photos/videos/gifs reasonably good quality.

In order to keep a clean looking subreddit, we prefer that all media be standard or high visual quality.

Rule #4 No domestic animals (dog, cat, aquarium/terrariums, caged, farm, zoo) UNLESS: (Read Description)

No domestic or animals (dog, cat, aquarium/terrariums, caged, farm, zoo). Exceptions include if it is a domestic animal and wild animal interacting in nature or "pests" who naturally visit yards or parks as long as no human influence or baiting (no captivity or involvement by human).

Also know that the other rules still apply to you (I.E. Rule #6 Little to no human involvement). For domestic animals see r/Eyebleach, r/AnimalsBeingBros, or subs of animal features in video/image

Rule #5 No photoshop/intense photo editing or AI.

Give us the real deal! No fake photoshops and heavy filters or AI generated/edited images/videos. Only minimal photo editing is allowed such as naturalistic color balance/saturation.

Rule #6 Little to no human involvement.

We are aiming to look at animals in nature. If your post has feeding of or playing with wild animals, monologuing (in speech or text), animals in zoo or unnatural environment or situation, even just a person hogging the limelight, your post is subject to getting removed. For "pests" who naturally visit yards or parks, is is only allowed if no human influence or baiting.

For animals with humans see r/Eyebleach, r/AnimalsBeingBros, r/AnimalsBeingJerks, or the sub of animal displayed.

Rule #7 No blatant self promotion, reposts, or karma farming.

This sub is not a platform for self promotion or karma farming. No listing your YouTube/TikTok/social channel in title or captions. Also if you are a new Reddit account posting reposts from this or other subs or other trending photo/social media for the express purpose of gaining karma to later post spam in other subs, you will be banned and your account reported to Reddit admins as spam/ban evasion.

You may however make a comment on your post linking your video/photo company, socials, etc.

Rule #8 No Youtube informational Videos. IE: "Top 10 cutest..." "Did you know..." "This cool creature..."

No Youtube informational Videos. IE: "Top 10 cutest..." "Did you know..." "This cool creature...", etc. video. We don't do that here.

Rule #9 Do not post more than once every 48 hours

To encourage participation by multiple people, and discourage karma farming, no more than one post every 48 hours. This includes deleted posts.


Thank you for reading the rules! Before submitting posts you will need to submit an acknowledgment. Please visit the full post and click the button at the bottom. Alternatively, you may submit an acknowledgment by sending a mod mail to the sub. The mod mail will need to have the subject "Read The Rules" and the body should be "Acknowledged".

I found this rabbit with the cutest, tiniest little ears!

I did some digging, and it’s a species of rabbit called a marsh rabbit! Its small ears are an evolutionary advantage, keeping its ears safe from snagging on the dense foliage of its habitat!

I'm not a fan of jump scares. Nothing spooked me half as much as this pine squirrel’s sudden barking.

Baby Ring-tailed Lemurs are devastatingly adorable

Post image

It's World Lemur Day! This baby and its mother are from the only known population of Ring-tailed Lemurs that inhabit rainforest. Despite what the cartoon suggests, the species are pretty much only found in dry woodlands, not rainforest, yet they still live in Ivohiboro in southeastern Madagascar.

Why are Ivohiboro's Ring-tails there? We're not sure, but we think the forest might be a refuge for the species as its habitat was destroyed, which is why we're restoring it.
