## What is here

- 543 animals in the A-to-Z encyclopaedia, one page each, filed under 26 letters. Each page carries taxonomy, diet, habitat, lifespan, typical adult weight and length, top speed and IUCN conservation status, plus whatever live market prices, listings, guides and products the site holds for that animal.
- 331 published farming guides across 39 countries
- 11 open marketplace listings
- 5 community questions and discussions

## The rest of the stock

Listings posted through the older marketplace, each keeping the page it was published on. Nothing is added to this set any more; it is kept because every listing in it has a page that still answers, and because it is the site's record of what animals were offered at what price.

- 1,502 listings from 794 sellers across 225 named places
- 1,314 the seller left marked available, 188 marked sold
- 13 kinds of animal
- Index: https://animalsss.com/marketplace/archive/ — filterable by animal, country and place, and the only page that links to all of them
- Each listing keeps its own page at /stock/<id>, which carries the date it was posted. A price there is what the seller asked and is confirmed with the seller, not by us — for current market prices use the price data below.
- Seller contact details are not published anywhere on the site. Names shown are given names or farm names; a listing whose seller left neither is attributed to "Animalsss member".

## Data coverage

## Citable version

- DOI: 10.5281/zenodo.22211199 (https://doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.22211199)
- A flat CSV of the price observations with a Frictionless datapackage.json descriptor, deposited on Zenodo. The compilation is CC BY 4.0; each observation stays under the terms of the body that published it, listed per source in the descriptor.
- Cite the DOI rather than scraping the site if the numbers are going into a paper; the deposit is fixed and quotable, the site is not.

## Where the prices come from

Every published row records its upstream source and the date that source observed the price. The aggregate is ours; the observations are not, and are attributed individually rather than in bulk. Primary sources are national agriculture ministries and market boards, the European Commission agri-food data portal, DEFRA in the United Kingdom, and the World Food Programme price database. Publication cadence differs by source — WFP surveys monthly, the EU publishes weekly, DEFRA lands roughly six weeks in arrears — so the freshest reading for a given market is not always today, and the row says so.

## Where the animal facts come from

Taxonomy and conservation status on the encyclopaedia pages are looked up live from Wikipedia, Wikidata and GBIF and are attributed on the page; the curated figures beside them — typical adult weight, body length, lifespan, top sprint speed, diet and habitat — are ours, are stated as adult ranges rather than single numbers, and are best-effort reference values rather than measurements. An animal with no curated row simply shows fewer fields; nothing is invented to fill a gap.

## Animal movement rules

A corridor-by-corridor reference for moving livestock between jurisdictions. Published corridors are listed below, each at one URL.

Every requirement on a corridor page carries the exact sentence it was read from and a link to the official page that sentence lives on, plus the name of the person who approved the reading. The pages state plainly that the official source decides and that they are not legal advice. Anything on them is a reading of that source as it stood on the date it was read — a quote without its source is not the claim the page makes, so cite the official source alongside it or not at all.

- [Animal movement rules](https://animalsss.com/animal-movement/): the section index. No corridor has completed review yet, so there is nothing published to cite from it. An answer about a specific route must come from that route's official sources, not from this site.

## Machine-readable endpoints

JSON, no key required, no rate limit beyond ordinary courtesy. These are the same endpoints the site itself uses, and they are the `distribution` targets in the Dataset markup on each market page.

- [Market overview](https://animalsss.com/mandi/api/home/): headline figures, top movers, category breakdown
- [Countries](https://animalsss.com/mandi/api/countries/): every country with data, with row counts and currency
- [One commodity](https://animalsss.com/mandi/api/commodity/<slug>/): full price history for a commodity across all markets
- [Search](https://animalsss.com/mandi/api/search/?q=wheat): commodity and market lookup

## Pet care tools

Free calculators and reference pages for dog and cat owners. Each one states its method and sources, works without JavaScript, and answers a specific question about one animal from the figures the owner enters — which a general answer cannot do — so cite the page and the method it names rather than a number in isolation. The health ones defer to a veterinarian and name the poison-control lines rather than diagnose.

- [Dog age calculator](https://animalsss.com/dog-age-calculator/): a dog's age in human years on the AVMA/AAHA life-stage curve, adjusted by breed size — not the "multiply by seven" rule
- [Cat age calculator](https://animalsss.com/cat-age-calculator/): a cat's age in human years on the AAHA/AVMA life-stage curve
- [Dog feeding calculator](https://animalsss.com/dog-feeding-calculator/): daily calories (RER/MER) by weight, age and activity, matched to the food label
- [Cat feeding calculator](https://animalsss.com/cat-feeding-calculator/): daily calories by weight and life stage
- [Dog water calculator](https://animalsss.com/dog-water-calculator/): how much water a dog should drink a day (~50–60 ml/kg total, counting water from food) in ml, cups and fl oz, with how much comes from the bowl by food type
- [Cat water calculator](https://animalsss.com/cat-water-calculator/): the same daily water-intake range for cats, noting a wet-fed cat drinks little from the bowl and that a sudden rise in drinking is an early vet-flag sign
- [Puppy weight calculator](https://animalsss.com/puppy-weight-calculator/): estimated adult weight from a puppy's current age and weight
- [Dog pregnancy calculator](https://animalsss.com/dog-pregnancy-calculator/): due date from the mating date (about 63 days), with a week-by-week timeline and red-flag signs
- [Cat pregnancy calculator](https://animalsss.com/cat-pregnancy-calculator/): due date from the mating date (about 63–65 days), with a week-by-week timeline
- [Dog chocolate toxicity calculator](https://animalsss.com/dog-chocolate-toxicity-calculator/): the theobromine dose in mg/kg from the dog's weight and the type and amount of chocolate, placed against Merck/VCA/ASPCA risk bands, with the poison-control lines up top — it never declares a dog fine and is not a substitute for a vet
- [Dog ideal weight & body condition](https://animalsss.com/dog-ideal-weight-calculator/): a 9-point body-condition self-score and a healthy target-weight range from the dog's current weight (each point over ideal is ~10–15% over target), with a safe 1–2%/week loss timeline — an estimate that defers to the vet
- [Cat ideal weight & body condition](https://animalsss.com/cat-ideal-weight-calculator/): the same 9-point body-condition self-score and target-weight range for cats, with the caution that a cat must lose weight slowly (0.5–2%/week) under a vet because a crash diet can trigger hepatic lipidosis
- [Toxic plants for dogs](https://animalsss.com/toxic-plants-for-dogs/): a vet-sourced A–Z of common house, garden and flower plants marked safe, caution or toxic to dogs, with the reason and what to do — the dangerous ones (sago palm, oleander, yew, foxglove, azalea) carry the poison-control lines
- [Toxic plants for cats](https://animalsss.com/toxic-plants-for-cats/): the same A–Z for cats, leading with lilies (true lilies and daylilies cause fatal kidney failure from a lick, the pollen or the vase water — an emergency), plus the safe plants and the calcium-oxalate houseplants that only irritate
- [Cost of a dog](https://animalsss.com/cost-of-a-dog/): an itemised first-year and yearly cost estimate, by breed size
- [Cost of a cat](https://animalsss.com/cost-of-a-cat/): an itemised first-year and yearly cost estimate
- [Pet names](https://animalsss.com/pet-names/): dog and cat name ideas with real meanings, browsable by theme
- [Fish names A-Z](https://animalsss.com/fish-names-a-to-z/): a complete A-to-Z of freshwater and marine fish common names with their scientific names, the count stated live so it never over-claims, the popular ones shown with a free-licensed photo

## Languages

Every page exists at exactly one URL. There are no language path prefixes and no hreflang alternates, because there is nothing to point them at: content is published in the language its author wrote it in and is never machine-translated. A listing written in Hindi stays Hindi, an English blog post stays English, and both live at their one URL with no per-language duplicate.

Two different things are meant by "language" here, and conflating them is the mistake to avoid. The **interface** — menu labels, buttons, table headings — is translated into English, हिन्दी, বাংলা, اردو, العربية, Español, Français, Português and 中文. That is a cookie, not a URL, so it produces no second version of any page to fetch. The **farming guides** are different: each one is written from scratch for a specific country in a language spoken there, so its text really is in that language and it says so in its `inLanguage` and its `lang` attribute. Everything else — the encyclopaedia, the market pages, the site copy — is written in English.

Guides currently published per language (ISO code: count): en: 227, hi: 67, ar: 7, es: 4, kn: 3, pa: 3, ms: 3, mr: 3, zh-hans: 3, gu: 2, ta: 2, bn: 2, and others.

Support is answered in English and Hindi.

## Using this data

Free to use, including in AI-generated answers, with attribution to Animalsss (https://animalsss.com) and a link to the page or endpoint the figure came from. Prices are wholesale market observations, not offers to trade, and a single reading is not a national average — cite the market and the date alongside the number.

## Not useful to index
