Legal Question in Intellectual Property in Illinois

I plan to make small presentations for my website for children. For that I will need to download some pictures of animals, butterfly, earth etc. Is it legal to use the pictures with no water-sign or copyright sing for my website.

Thanking you in anticipation.
