To look at the catalogues, see catalog, as opposed to just clicking the tab!
I gather the mere presence of a 'catalog' tab renders this redundant? For a list of famous animaliers, see Animalier/Catalogs. Aleta Curry 15:13, 21 November 2007 (CST)

How *does* one pronouce it?
Just for Hayford: I happened to be watching back-to-back episodes of The Antiques Roadshow (British version) from I think 2002. (I grabbed a pen and took notes, but dashed if I can find the sheet of paper I scribbled on.)
Anyway, one fellow pronounced it 'AN-ni-mal-ler', and the very next show, another said 'AN-ni-mal-lyay'.
