Very often less is more and this is certainly the case with Animal Search, a non assuming family safe environment to search for anything related to the animal kingdom. Whether its a generalized pets site that your looking for or a more specific search for a particular animal such as a horse or perhaps a domesticated animal like a cat or a dog you can feel safe in the knowledge that each of the links found on Animal Search has been reviewed for relevancy and safe content.
Don’t be misled by the apparent sparsity of the website, its deliberately non cluttered, because after all that’s exactly how its supposed to be. They’ve left the graphic intense sites packed full of information, images and so on to the sites they link to, and with many thousands of sites in hundreds of topics they’ve done a great job of building a sizable resource not matched by any other site that have targeted animals as a niche. This has earned Animal Search the right to lay claim to being the most comprehensive animal related links directory available, certainly the safest.

What a pleasure it was to review this site. Right from the get go your hit with the message that this is ‘THE’ place to hang out on the Internet if your a bored teen looking for some safe interaction with your peers. The awesome interactive design was an instant hit with us and even though we perhaps wouldn’t dance to the music that plays when entering the site it was still better than some tunes we’ve heard.
Putting that aside and onto the serious side of the review we looked at what exactly it was that made this site stand out, well for one they’ve kept it simple, by that we don’t mean they haven’t gone to town on the intro, they have, but they also made absolutely sure that what the site is about was labeled on the front of the page. ”
“Welcome to X-BLOCK, the place for students to hang out, learn about cyber safety and share their on-line experiences with others. It is your turn to DRiVE. Make the cyber world your world!”
