Eastern Cottontail
Sylvilagus floridanus
Zig-zag sprint — short bursts that leave a pursuer guessing.
A field guide you play
Learn the animals you already walk past.
Identify wildlife from a safe distance, keep a card for every species you meet, and recognise the same animal when you come back. Recognition runs entirely on your phone.
Brown Trout
Salmo trutta
Cold-stream hunter — waits in the seam where the current slows.
Dugong
Dugong dugon
Seagrass gardener — shapes meadows that shelter whole reefs.
The loop
Four quiet steps.
- 01
Spot
A heron on the canal, a trout in clear water, the rabbit that owns the verge.
- 02
Identify
Point and shoot from a safe distance. The species is named on your phone, offline.
- 03
Collect
Every encounter becomes a card: type, sourced stats, a signature ability, and rarity.
- 04
Return
Pawdex recognises the same individual later and brings back its name and story.
The cards
Collectible, but honest.
Rarity follows real conservation status. Stats cite sources when we have them, and say estimated when we do not. A card never invents a number just to look complete.

Principles
Built for the trail.
On your phone
85,825 species named offline. No photograph has to leave the device for an animal to be identified.
Individuals, not just species
A numeric signature lets Pawdex tell one animal from another and remember the neighbour you have already met.
A reason to walk
Your trail counts the species you found and the ground you covered finding them. An ordinary walk becomes a search.
