Tips for success
🔍 Look for details
Pay attention to body shape, size, coloring, and distinctive features like antlers, tails, or ears.
🌍 Consider habitat
The environment can give clues about what animals might be present in that ecosystem.
📚 Use any names
Search using both common names (like "deer") and scientific names (like "Cervidae") for better matches.
🎯 Start broad
If you're unsure of the exact species, try guessing the family or genus - you'll still earn points!
