  1. Cute! Welcome to JungleDragon, Nick! I have 2 starter tips for you, to improve photo sharing on the site:

    - Please give your photos a meaningful title and description where possible. You can do so using the "edit details" button below the photo.

    - If you know the species on the photo, please try to identify it using the "identify species" button to the right. For this photo, I have done it for you.

    With better described photos, more people will see them, and they will enjoy them better. Let me know if you have any questions.
