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!
