    check out this blog post from our sister project: https://blog.snapshotserengeti.org/2012/12/14/we-need-an-i-dont-know-button/

    this is why we dont have an unknown box 😃

    so check the field guide and take your best guess during classification!

    Thanks Mimi!

    @dauntsey additionally you can leave the tag #need_ID in a comment just under the video and we will identify the animal for you. Then just click the "Follow" button in the upper right corner and the next time you're visiting chimpandsee you'll find all your followed videos in the menu "Following".

    The animal in this clip is a genet, a species of viverrid.

    Have fun!
