Animal Identification Game

I couldn't find anything like this on the website, but sorry in advance if there already is. So basically, I will post a picture of a random animal (it can be a mammal, bird, reptile, amphibian, or fish) into the chat. The first person to guess it correctly gets 1 point. The person with the most points at the end of the month wins. At the beginning of each month, your point count resets back to 0. I know invertebrates are hard, so they are not included. However, there is an exception. Every once in a while, I will post a picture of an invertebrate, that will be worth 3 points and subtract 1 point from everybody else.

Please note that I do have school Monday through Friday, so if you give your answer while I'm at school, I will not be able to tell you if it's correct or not until I get home. Also, I may not upload pictures everyday, since sometimes I'm busy with homework and other things on this site.

Since I created this post near the end of the month, this month will just be practice and won't start for real until the 1st of next month. For know though, please respond if you would like to participate so I can write down your usernames to see everybody that's playing

 

Can't promise if I'll be any good, but I'll give it a shot.

 

Yes please

 

Me three.

 

And me

 

Question, is it going to be a photo of the whole animal or part of it? One is much easier than the other!

Also are there any restrictions on how soon you can answer? Since we have members across the world on Zoochat, first guess games can be difficult to keep fair to everybody.

 

I'll put my name down but I'm not sure I'll be particularly active

 

Yep I’ll play

 

Sorry to let you down, but the linked attachment actually states the species name

 

Thanks for letting me know, I didn’t notice! I’m such an idiot sometimes I’m going to delete that post and find a new picture.

 

I want to join

 

Can I make a suggestion? Instead of a point system, how about whoever guesses right gets to put to put the next photo on here? I think that would be a bit more fun.

 

Could we use photos taken by someone else?

 

I agree. This would be better

 

That's a great idea! Let's do that instead.

 

Alright, so ignore everything I said above. I think it would be better if whoever guesses the animal correctly, they get to pick an animal. Thanks, birdsandbats for the new game idea!

Alright, here's my picture.

What kind of fish is this?

(Hint: This fish has the name of a type of food in its name)

 

Could've picked something a little harder to start

 

Porkfish.

 

Correct!
