Do you need help identifying a strange organism you briefly spotted, heard about, or personally encountered? Fill out as many filters as possible to help make an ID. If you are unsure of attributes leave them blank.
The color of an organism is a great way to narrow down ID options.
Could you tell what kind of organism it was? If you can't pinpoint a specific kind, try choosing a general kind, like "bipedal" or "flying".
Could you tell what the organism's body was like? Was it scaley like a fish? Did it have skin like a human? Or was it covered in hair or fur?
Did you spot the organism eating? Most animals fall into one of three categories: carnivores, herbivores, or omnivores.
Did you catch the organism asleep or suspect you stumbled across its bed?
Did the organism make any sounds or do you hear something strange in the area?
Some organisms have a pleasant smell, others an unbearably bad one, and some are completely odorless.
Did the organism see you? If so, how did it react? Was it scared, seemingly friendly, or angry?
What environment were you in when you saw the organism?
It can be difficult to gauge height, especially when excited or afraid. Estimate its size.
Miniscule: you could accidentally eat, step on, or miss it; may require a microscope to see details.
Tiny: it could be held in a hand easily.
Small: it could be carried with two hands or the arms easily.
Medium: about the size of a human; under 6 feet tall.
Large: under 9 feet.
Huge: under 12 feet.
Gigantic: above 12 feet.
When did you encounter the organism?
Where did you see the organism? If you don't see a specific city, try to pick a state, province, or country.
