Missing species and inaccuracies

I was very disappointed in this app. For example the deer Colorado, Colorado has an abundant population of mule deer, only the white tailed deer listed as deers of Colorado. I looked up other areas to find similar discrepancies regarding other species. Very disappointing

Denali species list was terrible

None of the big mammals were listed as options to drop on the map. Disappointing.
