#33Just curiosity, where the owner possibly find all these photos to fill up the database?

#34Why not just use flickr? A search for images with "No known copyright restrictions" returned 663,502 results.

Ferrets are relatively common domestic pets in the UK. Perhaps because the sport of ferreting was historically more prevalent here?

#36Earlier quoted context omitted.
Probably performed dominant colour analysis on each (like color-thief), sort by similar ranked colours using a closeness transformation like LAB? No idea for the feature though.
Is there an algorithm for what you just described? I'm currently researching for color classification and it seems quite a complicated issue.
FWIW digikam has a colour search - could check their code and see what they're doing.

#37I like to think I am very conscious of copyright. I might not always adhere to it in my person life (who can claim they do these days?!) but professionally, everything is done strictly legitimately. With that in mind... Am I the only person who is slightly uncomfortable with the phrasing around PD and CC0? With other copyright licenses there is somebody there is saying they own something.
I'm particularly uncomfortable with Flickr's "no known copyright restrictions". What if people infer PD from that and upload it somewhere else under CC0? Then it gets sucked into this finda.photo? Yuck.
As for finda.photo, why are you truncating the source down to just a domain name?! Many of the sources include proper uploader details so why aren't you copying those over and displaying them?
I know you're not required to, but attribution isn't a bad thing if you can give it. I for one would be much happier using a photo if I knew exactly where it came from.

Yes, I had to check as after posting the initial message I remembered seeing a child walking a ferret on a lead in Penryn. I've never seen one wandering the streets of Oxford though...
They don't appear to make it into the top 10 pets of 2014: http://www.pfma.org.uk/pet-population-2014
Perhaps a ferret adoption drive is necessary! http://ferretshelters.org/

#40Firstly it is slow...
Secondly I have typed "wolf" and I got: 3 foxes, 1 lion, 2 monkeys, 1 snow house and 2 wolfs that do not look like wolfs !?
