A blog about all things web (and occasional museum stuff too).
Our top 50 animals!
What animals are people looking for on our website? Here’s a quick summary.
This top 50 list is a quick look at the search and page visits. As you can see as you can see 14 of the top animals are spiders, followed by a variety of insects, reptiles and sharks. We have found that searches do vary by season, as well as when there is a shark attack!
