## <center>Hi all! <br/><br/> Welcome to our community space! Here, we’ll share status updates and reports from our various hobby circles. This platform will help us collaborate more effectively, allowing us to create high-quality products and resources for our users, while also expanding our reach and impact within the larger hobby circles. </center> We hope you enjoy this passion project of ours -Juju & Ana <br/><br/> > [!info] About Us > **Animal Learning** is the powering body that operates [Tarantula Addicts](https://discord.gg/ta) [r/tarantulas](https://reddit.com) as well as our many other outlets. We build communities focused on the research and education outreach for exotic animals, with an emphasis on invertebrates. It is our mission to raise awareness and improve standards of care by bridging the gap between the communities of keepers, scientists, and behaviour technologists. In an industry where <span style="background:rgba(140, 140, 140, 0.12)">evidence-based animal care is all too often forgotten</span>; finding information about proper husbandry, enrichment, and research about an animal is made difficult. This community is heavily reliant on the citizen science contributions of passionate and forward-thinking breeders, caretakers and guardians from around the world; to ease the access of information about these animals we have grown to love and care for. > ![[ta.png|200]]
