Discover the wildlife around you.

Fauna is an all-in-one species identification app that recognizes animals, plants, insects, and fungi from a single photo, not just one group. Snap any living thing and Fauna reliably works out what it is, showing you a confidence score and other possible matches so you can see how sure it is. Each identification opens a detailed species profile with conservation status, risk levels, sensitive species tags, habitat, diet, ecological interactions, fun facts, and tips for safe interaction. Most ID apps stick to one category, like birds or plants. Fauna brings the whole natural world together in one place.

Pretty much anything alive. Fauna identifies animals, plants, insects, fungi, and mushrooms, including birds, mammals, reptiles, amphibians, spiders, bees, butterflies, trees, wildflowers, and fish. For each one, it recognizes the species and builds a detailed profile.

Open the app and snap a photo of any animal, plant, insect, or fungus. Fauna identifies the species by analyzing the subject and its closest possible matches, then gives you a full profile with fun facts, conservation status, risk level, habitat, diet, and safety tips. Every find is saved to your field journal, and completing collections earns you badges as you explore what's in your neighborhood and beyond.

Yes. Where Merlin focuses on birds and PictureThis on plants, Fauna covers every kind of organism in one app. iNaturalist and Seek are great community tools, but they lean on crowd verification, so an identification can take time and the experience is built around contributing data. Fauna gives you an instant identification and a rich species profile on the spot, then turns each find into part of your own journey: collections, ecosystem chains that show how species connect, badges, and scout ranks. It's a more polished, personal experience focused on your own discovery rather than community moderation.

Yes. The free tier gives you a set number of scans each day plus access to starter collections. If you want more, Fauna Pro is an optional subscription (with a 7-day free trial) that unlocks unlimited scans, the option to import photos from your camera roll, and a new premium collection every month. Prefer not to subscribe? A one-time Explorer Pack permanently unlocks a single premium collection.

Not yet, but Android is coming soon. For now, Fauna is available on iPhone and iPad through the Apple App Store.

Fauna's identifications are usually reliable, and every result comes with a confidence score and other possible matches, so you can see how certain it is rather than taking it at face value. Even so, no automated identification is perfect, and Fauna can occasionally get things wrong, even when confidence is high. Please don't use Fauna to decide whether a plant, mushroom, or animal is safe to touch, eat, or approach. For anything where safety matters, always double-check with a trusted field guide, your local wildlife authority, or a qualified expert.
