My own site features an animal – my logo is a pig in a chef’s hat! I also create themes around whatever food I want him to be holding in the banner. Whatever colors the food has are the colors I use for my theme.

Cool collection of animals in website to show animal love. This is also environmental friendly nature of the websites as well as a means to show their support for the same.
I thank all the websites that are listed above for having shown their love to nature and animals as well to all those websites that not listed here but comes in the same category.
Keep up the good work!
