ðļ How to Get the Most Accurate Identification
Getting great results from Animal Identifier is easy. Here are a few tips to make sure your photo gives the AI everything it needs.
Use natural lighting
Photos taken outdoors in daylight, or near a window, give the most accurate colours and clearest detail. Avoid flash photography where possible, as it can wash out colour patterns that are key to identification.
Capture the whole animal
A full-body shot is always better than a cropped or partial image. For birds, include the wings, tail, and beak. For fish, include the fins, tail, and lateral line. For reptiles, include the head and tail if possible.
Get as close as safely possible
The more detail visible in the photo, the more accurate the identification. For dangerous animals like venomous snakes, always keep a safe distance.
Include habitat context
A photo showing the environment â forest floor, river bank, coral reef, garden â can help the AI narrow down the species, since many animals are specific to certain habitats.
Multiple photos improve accuracy
If you have several photos of the same animal from different angles, try uploading the clearest one first. Different angles reveal different identifying features.
