Random animal generator

How to use the random animal generator

1. 1 Choose a mode: Animal list, Dogs, Cat facts, or Fish.
2. 2 In Animal list, set the How many slider from 1 to 8.
3. 3 Click Pick to draw animals, or Regenerate for a new set.
4. 4 Click any animal to copy it, or use Copy all or Export .txt.

What the draw covers

• 105 mammals and 60 birds, plus reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.
• Pick 1 to 8 animals at once. A single draw never repeats an animal.
• Every animal has the same chance. Some entries are one species (Fennec fox, Axolotl) and some are broader groups (Owl, Frog, Beetle).

Where people use it

Teachers draw an animal and ask students to describe it without naming it. Artists use the list for warm-up sketches or a daily drawing challenge. Writers pull two or three animals and work them into a scene. At a kids' party, draw one and have someone act it out.
