Hi Product Hunt! I'm Merina, the maker of Animal Generator.

I built this small tool to make it easy to find an animal for a sketch, a classroom activity, or a quick game. Pick a number, add filters if you want, and get a little surprise.

What you can do today:

• Generate 1–10 different animals at once from 300 species with reviewed real photos.

• Explore mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, and invertebrates.

• Combine filters for animal type, habitat, diet, adult size, and native region.

• See common and scientific names, and copy an animal's name.

• Keep exploring: unseen animals are prioritized until you've gone through the matching pool.

It's free, works on desktop and mobile, and needs no account or installation. Photo credits and data sources are linked on the site.

Try it for a five-minute drawing warm-up, an animal-of-the-day lesson, or a round of charades. Which species or filter would make it more useful for you? I'd also love to hear how you'd use it.

Thanks for taking a look!
