Three steps to put a name to an animal

  1. Photograph

    A bird in the garden, a fox at the edge of the woods, a butterfly in the mountains: take a photo, or pick one from your gallery.

  2. Identify

    Animal Odyssey suggests the most likely species, each with its confidence score.

  3. Collect

    Confirm the right species: it joins your collection and you earn points.

Identification results: Eurasian blue tit 88%, Azure tit 4%, Great tit 3%

Our commitments

Four principles guide the design of Animal Odyssey.

Spark curiosity

Encourage everyone to take an interest in the world around them, so they value it and protect it more.

Respect for wildlife

Locations shown on the map are deliberately approximate. Those of protected or hunted species are never shared.

No ads

Nothing interrupts your observation.

For nature

Our ambition: to help record species and support nature conservation organisations.

Your next encounter is waiting.
