## What is AnimalDex?

Every animal has a lesson. AnimalDex lets you hear it.

Photograph or film a real animal and AnimalDex identifies it and turns it into a card in your collection. Then talk to it. It answers as itself, in its own voice, and teaches you the lesson it lives by: how a manta ray stays calm, why a Komodo dragon waits, what a wolf pack does when no one agrees.

TALK TO ANY ANIMAL
Every animal you collect has its own personality and voice. Ask it anything: about its life, or about yours. Replies are spoken aloud, and over 600 species play their own real recordings while they talk.

LEARN ITS LESSON
Every species carries an Animal Power: a principle drawn from how it survives. A kingfisher teaches precision. A crocodile teaches patience. Each card explains the pattern, the proof from nature, and how to use it in your own life.

COMPANIONS THAT REMEMBER YOU
Your animals remember what you tell them and share notes with each other, so the dragon already knows what you told the manta. Name them, ask for guidance on a real situation, and they check back a few days later to ask how it went. You can see, correct or forget anything they remember.

THEY MESSAGE YOU FIRST
Now and then, an animal you talk with writes to you on its own: a thought from its day, or a follow-up on yours. Mute any animal at any time.

ASK THEM ALL AT ONCE
Pick two to four of your animals and put a question to the group. They talk it over turn by turn and land on common ground.

PROVE IT IN REAL LIFE
Train on each lesson with a short quiz, then take its Trial: a real-world challenge you prove with a photo, a video or your own words. Earn the Power, level the animal up, and unlock battles and Fusion.

COLLECT 2,400+ ANIMALS
Every card has real stats, a grade for your capture, a tier and a level. Upload photos and videos straight from your camera roll, scan several animals in one session, and fill binders sorted by real taxonomy. Wild sightings stand apart from zoo, farm and pet captures.

BATTLE IN THE ARENA
Put a card against another collector's in a three-round battle: a scenario decided by stats, a community vote, and a head-to-head comparison.

EXPLORE
See where your animals live on a map of your sightings, follow other explorers in Discover, and watch narrated story videos made from real captures.

EARN FROM YOUR SIGHTINGS
Every place where you log three or more wild species becomes a virtual Wildlife Guide that other explorers can buy. Authors receive 70% of each sale after store fees, paid out through Earnings in supported countries. Eligibility and availability vary by country.

### 3.0.3 — 2026-10-15

Train your animals, then prove it
Every animal's Play tab now walks you through its Power in three steps: Training, then the Trial, then Apply It Your Way. Training is a short quiz you pass before the Trial opens. It's ready for more than 2,500 animals. Fused Powers now get their own Training and Trial too.

Story videos
Pro members can turn a capture into a narrated story video starring their own photo. We'll tell you when it's ready, and the best ones play in a new video feed on Discover.

Battles now pay out XP when they settle, and there's a new rulebook that explains how matchups work.

Levelling and collections

### 3.0 — 2026-10-05

We're bring you a couple of things in this new update.

1. Animal Simplicity - we've added ways like a cool voiceover to better understand each animal - not just from a 'what this animal is' perspective but 'how can I learn from this animal' perspective. Exactly why AnimalDex was built - you're collecting each animal's lesson.

2. Trials - now every animal gives you a challenge for you to try and test out it's learnings in the real world.

3. Systems Dynamics - Learn exactly every animals pattern in every shape and form.
