The Animal Identifier by Describe A Pic scans your photo and tells you exactly what creature you're looking at, along with useful details about it. Whether you're out in nature or just curious about something you saw, it's a straightforward way to get answers.

From a hawk circling overhead to a lizard sunning itself on a rock, a frog hiding near a pond, a spider in the garden, or a deer passing through the woods — there's a huge variety of animals people come across every day and simply want to know more about. The tool works just as well for ocean creatures like jellyfish or rays, insects like beetles and butterflies, or even domestic animals whose breed you can't quite place. If you can take a photo of it, chances are you can identify it.
