Metazooa (Game)
•••
Like Wordle or Connections but with animals and cladograms. Terrible analogy — but this game rocks! You don't need a degree in Zoology, but it doesn't hurt to be an AP Animal Nerd. I'm addicted. "The animal kingdom (Metazoa, in Greek) is full of our distant relatives... some more distant than others! Metazooa is a game that tests how well you know our extended family tree." Your goal is to figure out today's Animal in as few guesses as possible. Wrong guesses will narrow down the answer by taxonomic rank (kingdom, phylum, class, order, etc.)" In the example above, the answer was "black bear" and the tree took shape with each guess.

iNaturalist App & Website
•••
"Sexy Species Near You!" or "Deuxmoi for plants and animals" We love a primary source! iNaturalist is basically a user-led image database/map of realtime flora and fauna sightings. This is how I found out Green Wood Cemetery has a huge colony of skunks but no bats (and Prospect Park is crawling with bats but no Skunks??).

Jumping Spiders Will Cure Your Arachnophobia
•••
If you're scared of spiders (or simply going through a tough time), I highly recommend making eye contact with a Jumping Spider. Because yes, you can lock eyes with these guys. Can't find one? Watch this video about how smart and amazing they are instead.
