Frequently Asked Questions
What types of animals can it identify?
The AI can identify a wide range of animals including mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and many invertebrates (insects, spiders, crustaceans). It covers both common domestic animals and rare wild species from all continents.
How accurate is the identification?
Accuracy depends on image clarity, lighting, and how distinctive the animal's features are in the photo. Clear, well-lit photos showing the animal's body or face yield the highest confidence. The AI always provides a confidence score and notes similar species that could be confused.
Can it identify animals at night or in low light?
Yes, but with reduced accuracy. Low-light images make it harder to distinguish markings, colors, and fine features. For nocturnal animals captured with a trail camera, try to use images where the flash has illuminated the animal clearly.
Does it work for insects and small animals?
Yes. Insects, spiders, butterflies, beetles, and other small invertebrates can be identified from close-up macro photos. The clearer and more detailed the photo, the better the results.
What is the conservation status information based on?
Conservation status information is based on the IUCN Red List categories, which is the world's most comprehensive inventory of species' conservation status. The AI uses its training data to reflect these categories, though for the most current data always consult the IUCN website directly.
