Unidentified

These animals have yet to be identified with the exact species.

Unidentified gallery

Unidentified birds

Unidentified bugs

Hah, I know that one!

You see an animal on here that you 100% recognize? Let me know!

Why is that important?

There are so many species that look very similar but one is very common and the other one would be a spectacular find. A wrong identification can actually become a problem for scientists accidentally adding a find to their data set. Even though most specialists know very well what to look out for in the species they are working with, poor quality in photos or tagging a wrong location can still make for a mistake. So I'd rather put these animals in the "unidentified" category than mess up anything.
