Your animal's profile page: the tabs and what each one does

Every animal has a profile page, and once you know how it is laid out you can find anything about that animal in a click. This article tours the page: the hero at the top, then each tab in the row beneath it, what it shows, and who is allowed to see it.

The hero

The top of the page is the hero: the main photo, the animal's name and handle, a line of species, breed, sex, and color, the owner shown as an actor chip you can hover for a card, and the follow and contact controls. For an animal you own or co-own, the hero also carries the controls to edit the profile and to create a listing.

The tabs

Beneath the hero is a row of tabs. Which tabs appear depends on the animal and on who is looking, so a brand-new animal shows a leaner row than a fully built-out one. Here is each tab, what it holds, and who sees it:

• Posts: the animal's feed of updates, with a composer for the owner and team. It is the default tab for most viewers. The implication: if an animal has no posts yet, a non-owner opens on the Gallery instead, so the page never lands on an empty feed.
• Gallery: every photo of the animal. Owners, team members, and a reference animal's referencer can add and remove photos; everyone else views them. The implication: this is where the rest of the animal's photos live once the main photo is set.
• Records: the animal's health, care, and identity records. The public sees only records marked public; owners, team, and active stewards see them all. This tab is also where Registration and Pedigree records live. The implication: the paperwork side of an animal lives here, separate from the relationship graph on the Pedigree tab. See The animal records tab.
• Pedigree: the multi-generation ancestry graph. It is visible to anyone who can see the animal (and returns a not-found for a private animal a viewer is not allowed to see). This tab appears once the animal has any recorded sire, dam, or offspring, so an animal with no family yet does not show it. The implication: add a parent or a child and the Pedigree tab appears. It is covered in Pedigree, family, and lineage.
• History: the animal's ownership history and any signed agreements. It appears when the ownership-transfer feature is available, and the detail is owner and steward gated. The implication: treat this tab as "when available", because it is feature-controlled and a given deployment may not show it.
• Finance: the animal's cost basis, valuation, and Crestimate. It is owner-side and signed-in only, and never appears on a reference animal (which has no owner). The implication: this is your private financial view of the animal. See What is a Crestimate?.
• Groups: the groups the animal belongs to, such as a litter or a herd. It is owner-side, signed-in, and feature-gated. The implication: use groups to manage related animals together. See Create and manage animal groups.
• Breeding: the Breeding Hub for the animal. It is owner and team gated, and appears only once the animal has breeding activity. The implication: a non-breeding animal does not show this tab, so do not expect it on every profile.
• Memorial: a tribute page. It appears for a deceased animal with a published memorial, and becomes the default tab when it is viewable. The implication: this is how a passed animal is remembered. See Creating a memorial for an animal.
• Reviews: reviews left on the animal, where applicable. The implication: it surfaces feedback tied to the animal.

Who sees what, in one picture

The visibility model is consistent across the tabs:

• A public animal shows the public-safe tabs to everyone, and the public sees only the public records, photos, and pedigree.
• A private animal shows a placeholder to anyone who is not you, your team, or an allowed party, so its tabs are not browsable by the public.
• A reference animal hides the owner-only tabs (Finance, Groups, Breeding, History) because it has no owner, and keeps the shared tabs like Pedigree.

So the same page adapts to the animal and the viewer. If a tab you expect is missing, it is almost always because the animal has not generated that kind of content yet, or because the tab is owner-side and you are viewing as someone else. To create an animal in the first place, see Adding an animal to Creatures; to give someone else access to these tabs, see Co-owners and team members: sharing access to an animal.
