DOMESTIC DOG?

  • Barbs-E by Barbs-E

    Hi,

    I just found a pic of a domestic dog, but no option to identify it as such. What should one do in such case?

    Hi Barbs-E!

    We classify all domestic animals ( cattle, sheep, goat, donkey, dog ) as 'Cattle'. 😃

    More info about special images in Extended Survey season also here:

    Yup! We never anticipated getting domestic dogs in our study site! It's only because the extended survey covers areas more inhabited by people that we're getting these critters. If we continue to extend our survey area in future seasons, we'll probably want to think about adding domestic animals to the species list!

    I add here image of a domestic dog we have seen. Smile on it's face, perhaps about being now famous in Talk Snapshot Serengeti.
