FAQ
What is this useful for?
Icebreaker games, "which animal are you" prompts, classroom activities, drawing challenges, or just a quick fun fact break — pick a category or leave it on "all" for a surprise.
How many animals are in the list?
A curated set spanning mammals, birds, marine life, reptiles/amphibians, and insects, each with a short real fact — not a random word generator with no context.
Can I filter by animal type?
Yes — pick a category from the dropdown to only generate mammals, birds, marine life, reptiles, or insects.
Is anything sent to a server when I generate an animal?
No — the list lives in your browser and the pick happens locally. Nothing is uploaded or logged.
