A wildlife identification tool for working out which animal left behind a footprint, sound, or dropping.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

The homepage organizes identification around three kinds of field evidence: footprints, recorded sounds, and scat photographs. Its Explore list associates species such as Bobcat and Black Bear with the evidence types they can be investigated through, while navigation also includes My Wild and Profile. The page describes the output as the “most likely animal,” but the extract does not show an example identification or clarify whether media submission is gated.
