Earth Day Week 2013
Day Four
In honor of
Earth Day 2013 I have planned an extensive stock feature including wonderful flora and fauna stocks divided according to their specific Biomes.
Biome
bi·ome [bahy-ohm]
noun Ecology.
a complex biotic community characterized by distinctive plant and animal species which thrive under climatic conditions native to their specific regionI originally had planned on this feature to be posted only on Earth Day, however, it has become to massive for a single feature. I am barely on Grasslands and the feature is already a mile long! So, Earth Day has turned into Earth Week! Yay!!
I personally feel it should be Earth Week, or even Earth Month! Heck, let's make every day Earth Day!Please be sure to follow all rules set forth by each stock provider featured if you use any stocks below!Scheduled Features *Subject to ChangeMonday, April 22 -

Due to the complexities of Earth there are many different Biomes all over our planet. When you are well within one Biome it is pretty easy to tell which one you are in (i.e. you know a desert from a tropical rainforest). However, once you are nearer the edge of one Biome things can get a bit more difficult as two or more Biomes will blend together until you are well out of the previous Biome. For example, The Pacific Northwest is home to the gorgeous Redwood National and State Parks. One Biome found within the Redwood Park is the Old-Growth Coast Redwood Forest that gradually grows it's way into the Oak Woodlands. The first few miles inside the Oak Woodlands from coming out of the Old-Growth Redwoods will not be as easy to differentiate as the trees are all blended together.
That being said, there will be a few stocks featured from one Biome that could also be located in or near another Biome.
Oceans & Seas
Large bodies of saltwater with diverse lifeforms.
Oceans vs. Seas – What are the differences?
Oceans are massive bodies of salt water that cover approximately 70% of our Earth. The five oceans are actually one large body of water that is interconnected called the World Ocean. Seas, on the other hand, are smaller and are partially enclosed by land. There are over 100 bodies of water listed as seas.
List of Oceans by Size in Square Miles
1) Pacific Ocean – 63,780,000 sq mi
2) Atlantic Ocean – 41,080,000 sq mi
3) Indian Ocean – 28,350,000 sq mi
4) Southern (Antarctic) Ocean – 7,848,000 sq mi
5) Arctic Ocean – 5,427,000 sq mi
List of Five Largest Seas in Square Miles
1) Mediterranean Sea – 967,300 sq mi
2) Caribbean Sea – 1,063,000 sq mi
3) South China Sea – 1,351,000 sq mi
4) Bering Sea – 884,900 sq mi
5) Gulf of Mexico – 617,800 sq mi
's, comments and views on them!
equates to US$18, however the extra US$3 covers the fees that deviantART imposes.

to see stock from the other Texas Spanish Missions, as well!
AS OF JANUARY 24, 2013: DO NOT create any art that is sexual in any way, shape or form with my stock! Do NOT use my 10 y/o nephew in ANY art that depicts bondage, being tied up, torture, beating, and extreme violence of any kind. There is a difference between dark artists and people who are psychologically unstable. I will have your work removed and if the piece is offensive enough I WILL file a report with the proper authorities, The National Center for Missing & Exploited Children. I have filed reports in the past, I'll do it again.
