Each quiz shows a real photo of an animal and four names to choose from. A round is 10 photos, and every quiz has three levels: Easy starts with animals most people know, and Hard is built from look-alikes that trip up experienced birders, anglers and dog owners. Every answer comes with a short note on how to tell that animal apart. The quizzes are free and run on phones and computers with nothing to install.
