Bonus Tips

Try varying your search term for better results. Antiquated spellings or Latin names may be present in these old books, so searching for part of your term ("aard") instead of the full thing may get you better results ("aardvark" and "aard-vark"). Additionally, some of the images are titled with an animal's Latin family or order. Searching "cetacean" may get you more results than "whale". Have a look at wikipedia for some help with that business.
