Animal Diversity Web is an "an online database of animal natural history, distribution, classification, and conservation biology at the University of Michigan." The beautifully illustrated and organized site contains a wealth of easy-to-understand information about thousands of the world's animals. Search is robust: simple search (that turns up relevant results for the few examples I tried) is available on all pages, and an advanced search tool allows students and researchers to search taxonomically and by a set of keywords of animal characteristics.
Additional resources available on Animal Diversity Web are videos of spinning animal skulls (!), audio of frog calls, and resources for K-12 and college teachers.
I know where I'm going to spend the rest of my afternoon.
