This is my favorite find so far.
OMG, I am obsessed. My rarest find so far is a wild cat. Its a great capture. Will have to post a link later.
First picture: Legs. “Well, that’d be a giraffe, then…”
Thanks a lot… Now I’ve got a new obsession.
I love the captures where you don’t see an animal until you hit the animate/play button, and in the 3rd frame, you suddenly see… a SOMETHING! It’s so exciting, that it’s not just grass again…
I’m loving this as well. My favorite was a female lion.
I just got a leopard close-up!
Here’s my leopard close-up:
And the wild cat:
Cool finds, Brynda! I love that leopard!
I had something I classified as a wildcat but all I saw was a bit of the back, but the shape and coloring made me think wildcat. I haven’t seen one that obvious though.
Not sure if this would count as reviving a zombie thread or not… But now they’ve got plankton search, as well: http://www.planktonportal.org/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_medium=Email&utm_campaign=PlanktonLaunch
Well that one is a little more complicated, but I’m sure I’ll soon be obsessively searching for plankton as well.
Man, all I get is gazelles and wildebeests and one elephant dong.
I was having fun with this, but they ran out of pictures! I think I’m going into wildebeest withdrawal.
The “Done Classifying” thing seems to have been an error. There’s a discussion thread in the Help forums about it. Sounds like it’s happened at least once before and has now been resolved. More pictures available- back to classifying!
After something like 2,400 classifications, I just got mongoose #2, pulling them into a tie with ostriches.
It’s back! Season 7 starts today! I’ve already found a few secretary birds (a fave), a buffalo with an oxpecker hanging off its head, a serval, and a bunch of the usual suspects - hartebeest, Tommys, giraffes, hyenas…
SO fun! Get in there, but leave some snaps for the rest of us!
I sure wish I could zoom in on some of these. I got an ostrich, a hippo, and a whole lot of wildebeests in my first 15 minutes
I did a few, kinda fun, I’ll do some more later. I wish they had a “I really can’t tell button”. I had to hit “Nothing here” for one that was just a leg. I could see a leg of something and another something standing off in the background, but I couldn’t tell what it was.
Missed this back when but in my first small batch I saw numerous Thompson’s gazelles, some Guinea fowl, what appeared to be the ass-end of a rhino (sent that one to discussion) and this impala is my current favorite.
[Edit: Whoops, that’s a Thompson’s ain’t it?]
Use CTRL+ (e.g. press the the Control button and the plus sign at the same time). You lose some resolution, but it really does help with at least some of the tougher ones.
Oh yeah, thanks. I forgot about that trick.
Also, in the interesting captures category, I seem to have come across a wildfire
