Frequently asked questions
Can I filter by animal type?
Yes. Filter to mammals, birds, reptiles, sea life, or insects, or leave it on "all" for any animal.
Where do the facts come from?
They're short, general-knowledge facts curated for the tool — not sourced live, so treat them as fun trivia rather than a citation.
Is this good for a drawing prompt?
Yes — pair it with easy mode off for a wider variety, and reroll if you land on an animal you've drawn recently.
