+TerryDad2 Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Anybody know where I can list a statue of dolphins, whales, bears, and various other animals? Link to comment
+Miragee Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 Looks like someone might get to be a Leader of another new Catagory . . . I know of such a statue if you find out where to put it . . . or 'll join your new Group. Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted July 28, 2006 Share Posted July 28, 2006 So far each "Statue" category has been specific.... Musician Equestrian Lion Sphinx Dog Atlas To list a few examples of the already operating categories. You may find that suggesting a "vague" category for all animal statues that people will decline it, wanting it to be more specific. The Blue Quasar Link to comment
+TerryDad2 Posted July 28, 2006 Author Share Posted July 28, 2006 By no means do I want to lead a statue category. I just found some and wanted to log them. I guess that means there is nothing as of yet. Link to comment

The Blue Quasar There are a lot of animals . . . the statue I am thinking of is of a whale. How about widening the categories . . . I don't want to start a group for my Whale statue. Link to comment

The Blue Quasar Besides there are alot of animals and I don't know if you'll find somebody to manage each one of them. Who would want spiders, slugs, echidnas, anteaters, crickits, sea anemones, etc. ? One of the existing animal statues might widen out and include the animal type as a paramter. Link to comment

The ongoing question -- broad categories with multiple variables, or a spew of narrow, specific categories? There is a balance there somwhere. I think Animal Statues is about the right level. If there are already categories for specific categories, e.g. lions and dogs, then merely include in your description a direction to post those waymarks there, to avoid duplication. I think there is an Insect Sculptures, too. Link to comment
+The Blue Quasar Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 Well then how about using some form of scientific class division for the animal kingdom? Somebody out there must know how the tree branches in the genus or whatever. I agree that things can get too specific, but they can be too generic too. The Blue Quasar Link to comment

Somebody out there must know how the tree branches in the genus or whatever. I agree that things can get too specific, but they can be too generic too. The Blue Quasar In the Animal Kingdom there are sponges, cnidarians, flatworms, roundworks, molluscs, annelids, arthropods, echinoderms, and chordats. Some how I don't think we'll find statues of sponges and flatworms. We'll probably have to deal with just the chordates which include, Cartilaginous fishes, bony fishes, amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals, and three others that we won't probably see. Although if somebody finds a statue of a tunacate I'd be impressed. We might see arthropods (bugs and lobsters) and echinoderms (starfish, sea anemones). Probably more detail than you wanted to hear but I just wanted to be a smart a** and my wife is a biologist and just finished lecturing on this. (it appears I added a word the forums didn't like and it got edited, sorry) Edited July 29, 2006 by TerryDad2 Link to comment

Aushiker Posted July 29, 2006 Share Posted July 29, 2006 G'day There is a horses group but the group title suggests it is ony interested in fibreglass horses, so metal horses wouldn't come within. Regards Andrew Link to comment
+8Nuts MotherGoose Posted August 2, 2006 Share Posted August 2, 2006 Perhaps "Statues of Creatures with Fins". That would include Porposes, Whales, Fish, lobsters (is that a fin?), and maybe even a mermaid. But then what do I do with the statue of the fox, river otter, beaver, bald eagle, heron, and turtle? I won't even mention all those creatures carved out of a log with a chainsaw. OOPS, now I've imagined into existance another artform waymark to be. Link to comment
+TerryDad2 Posted October 2, 2006 Author Share Posted October 2, 2006 All right I found statues of diatoms and plankton. Where do these fit? Link to comment
