A wide variety of animals: clockwise from top-left: Loligo vulgaris (a mollusk), Chrysaora quinquecirrha (a cnidarian), Aphthona flava (an arthropod), Eunereis longissima (an annelid), and Panthera tigris (a chordate).

Reason: Encyclopedic - demonstrates the diversity in nature and the image is really clear

Oppose Unbalanced composition. Illustrates only one vertebrate, and no birds or herpetiles, but two marine invertebrates (the squid and the jellyfish) that have somewhat similar body shapes. I don't feel it exemplifies "animal diversity". --Pharaoh Hound (talk) (The Game) 21:27, 5 July 2007 (UTC)

oppose per Night Gyr, but I must say it does a reasonable job of showing diversity. If it were to scale/include phyla by species count, you would see giant nematodes, arthropods, annelids, mollusks and then vertebrates - probably in that order. As for squids and jellyfish having similar body plans, the former is a coelomate with bilateral symmetry, the latter is acoelomate with radial symmetry - pretty profound developmental differences.

Oppose per Pharaoh Hound. In addition, each image is far too small and has tons of jpeg artifacts. J Are you green? 21:37, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
Oppose, the collage doesn't really have much value, and the individual images aren't the greatest either. Night Gyr (talk/Oy) 22:54, 5 July 2007 (UTC)
