Point your phone at any animal, bug, or bird. Scanimal's AI names the exact species, then drops it into your living Dex. Be the first person on Earth to scan a species and your name is on it forever.
No field guides, no guessing. Just point, scan, and watch your Dex grow.
Aim your camera at any animal, bug, or bird in the wild and tap once. It works on creatures big and small.
Our model identifies the exact species and anchors it to the real GBIF tree of life, then shares a fun fact about it.
Every species joins your living Dex with its own creature to level up. Chase regional completion as your collection grows.
The first person on Earth to scan a species claims a permanent first unlock. Your name on it for all time.
Backed by the GBIF taxonomy backbone, every catch resolves to a real, canonical species, never a made-up monster.
Watch your collection grow, level up your creatures, and chase regional completion as you go.
Every world first becomes a card built for Stories and your feed. Show the world exactly what you found first.
Every scan drops a pin. Look back on exactly where in the world you found each creature.
Keep your streak alive, clear daily challenges, and earn XP for every new discovery.
When you scan a species nobody has ever logged, you claim it. Your handle goes on that world first forever, and the moment becomes a card built to share.
I scanned a moth on my balcony and got a world first. I have not stopped looking at bugs since.
My kids beg to go on Scanimal walks. We have a family Dex competition going now.
I started a daily streak in spring and have not missed a day. Leveling up my creatures is weirdly addictive.
Scanimal is free to play on iOS and Android. Your first scan is one tap away.
Yes. You get free scans every day, and you can collect and claim world firsts without paying. Scanimal Pro adds unlimited scans for the truly obsessed.
Any real animal you can point a camera at, from mammals and birds to bugs, reptiles, fish, and amphibians. The pigeon on the sidewalk counts.
When you are the first Scanimal player on Earth to scan a given species, you claim it. Your name stays on that world first permanently.
Not at all. Get reasonably close, keep the animal in frame, and tap. If a shot is unclear, Scanimal asks for another one before it logs anything.
