About AniSpotter: Animal Identifier
Ever spotted an animal and wondered what it was? AniSpotter turns that moment into a hobby. Snap a photo — or pick one from your library — and AniSpotter identifies the species in seconds, with ranked suggestions, reference photos, and plain-language confidence so you can judge the match yourself. Confirm it, and the sighting joins your personal field journal and the community map. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Identify species from a photo in seconds, with common and scientific names — from a field guide of 1,500+ North American mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, insects and more • Explore a live community map of wildlife spotted near you, with recent sightings marked by freshness — or search for a single species to see where it turns up • Build your life list — every species you've spotted, collected in one place • Work through checklists for every state and discover what you haven't found yet • Earn points with rarity tiers: common backyard visitors to once-in-a-lifetime finds • Compare progress with friends on leaderboards • Learn about each species: habitat, diet, seasonality, conservation status, and safety notes for animals best admired from a distance • Capture offline — drafts save on your device and submit when you're back in signal A COMMUNITY THAT LOOKS OUT FOR EACH OTHER Every public sighting can be reported, any user can be blocked, and our moderation team reviews reports quickly. Wildlife spotting should feel welcoming — for people and animals alike. Whether you're a weekend hiker, a parent raising a young naturalist, or a traveler who wants to know what's out there — point your phone at the wild and start your collection. Questions or ideas?

What’s new
Version 1.0.1 · Updated September 7, 2026
A much bigger field guide, plus a handful of fixes. • 1,500+ species — up from 334 — now with photos, habitat, diet, seasonality and safety notes for every one, including insects and spiders • Checklists for all 50 states and DC, so there's always something new to find near you • Search the map for a single species to see where it's been spotted • Species suggestions from other spotters now live in AniDex, with a badge so you never miss one • When a photo can only be narrowed to a group (say, "Sparrow"), we say so instead of guessing • Fixed: new sightings now appear in your journal right away, and species names no longer disappear while refreshing • Fixed: photo thumbnails recover from a failed load Questions or ideas?
