Photo and AI Image Use Policy
At BigCatsWildCats.com, our mission is to educate, inspire, and connect people with the incredible world of wild cats — from the most iconic big cats to the rarest small wild cats on Earth. To support this mission, we use a mix of licensed photographs and AI-generated illustrations throughout the site.
Image Sources
Most of the real photographs on this website come from reputable image providers and public domain sources.
We take care to ensure that all images are used in accordance with their respective license terms. If you believe an image has been used in error or without proper attribution, please let us know and we will address it promptly.
Use of AI-Generated Images
Some of the animals we feature are extremely rare, elusive, or under-photographed. In cases where high-quality, real-world images are not available, we may use AI-generated illustrations to visually support our educational content.
Why We Use AI Images
- To represent species for which few or no usable public images exist
- To support learning and conservation awareness with visual references
- To illustrate scenes or concepts that are difficult to capture in the wild
Transparency and Labeling
Any AI-generated images used on this site are either:
- Labeled directly in the image caption (e.g., “AI-generated image for educational reference”)
- Noted on the post or page when multiple AI illustrations appear
Accuracy Disclaimer
AI-generated images are intended for educational purposes only. While we strive to ensure visual accuracy, these illustrations may not precisely reflect the physical traits, coloring, or habitat of the actual species or subspecies shown.
We do not intend to mislead, and we always welcome respectful feedback if an image could be improved or clarified. Our goal is to inspire conservation awareness through accessible, trustworthy content.
Questions or Concerns?
If you have any questions about the origin or accuracy of an image, or would like to request more information, please feel free to contact us.
