Guessing about the identity of an animal

  • NJ_Alison by NJ_Alison

    I see a cat and something deer-like with horns. I made an educated guess as to what they are. Does anyone check our work? What do you do if you have no idea what something is? Say there is nothing there, or take a wild guess?

    I see what looks like an eland entering from the left edge; note the straight horns, and the dewlap hanging from the neck. I'm not sure where you're seeing a cat.

    Our guesses are combined with those of several other people to develop a consensus. If the answers vary wildly then the scientists can investigate more. The important thing is that you should always give an educated guess. 😃
