Our method

How we build knowledge

Knowledge does not go public just because we found it. This is the path every fact takes before it reaches you.

The path of every fact

  1. Research and inventory

    We start from an inventory of creatures built from documented scientific sources, recording each one's scientific name, classification and sources.

  2. Evidence and sources

    Every fact is linked to its source, and a fact without a source is never published.

  3. Scientific review

    Facts and Arabic names go through scientific review, and the wording in each language is checked before publication.

  4. Approval and publication

    Nothing is published without a formal approval, in a documented release that can be withdrawn or corrected whenever an error appears.

What do the marks on creatures mean?

Officially approved
Officially approved for publication after its information and sources were reviewed. Every fact in its profile cites a source.
Under review
On our list and still under review. We show only its name and classification; its facts appear once they are officially approved.

What we commit to

  • We never publish a fact without a source.
  • Ahmad answers only from approved knowledge, and says clearly when an answer is not approved.
  • We never show precise locations of threatened species, only their general range.
