## What is What the cat dragged in?

What the Cat Dragged In is a citizen-science project from Cornwall Mammal Group.

Cats encounter small mammals that we rarely see. By recording what your cat brings home, you can help us build a better picture of the mammals living across Cornwall, where different species occur and how their distributions may be changing.

Record a find by adding up to three clear photographs, recording where and when the animal was found, telling us its condition and having a go at identifying the species.

Browse illustrated species guides covering many of Cornwall’s small mammals, including mice, voles and shrews. Submitted records can be reviewed by Cornwall Mammal Group experts.

Keep track of your own submissions and see when an expert has verified them. Correct identifications earn a Gold Star.

Explore records contributed by other participants on the sightings map. Other users see only an approximate location rather than your exact submitted position.

Submitted records can be used for wildlife recording, conservation, distribution mapping and scientific research. Verified observations may also contribute to recognised biodiversity recording schemes and datasets.
