Horama/animal-200

Raw wildlife image collection covering 199 species (mammals, birds, reptiles), scraped from multiple web sources. Images are organized by species folder and can be used as-is for image classification (species identification) or as input for downstream annotation pipelines (object detection, etc.).

For animal detection, see Horama/animal-200-detection dataset.

---

Sources

Images were collected from three web sources using dedicated scrapers:

Source	Scraper	Method
DuckDuckGo Images	scraping/scrapers/duckduckgo.py	Search by scientific name
Wikimedia Commons	scraping/scrapers/wikimedia.py	MediaWiki API query
Wikipedia	scraping/scrapers/wikipedia.py	Article image extraction

Additionally, observations were downloaded from iNaturalist using inat_downloader (MIT license, Copyright (c) 2023 Cyprien Amigon), which queries the iNaturalist API with rate-limiting compliance (max 10 000 queries/day, max 24 GB media/day).

Each species folder is named <Scientific_name>_images/ with spaces replaced by underscores. File names are prefixed with their source (duckduckgo_, wikimedia_, wikipedia_, inat_).

CLIP pre-classification

Every image has been classified with CLIP (openai/clip-vit-large-patch14) along three axes. Results are stored in image_classification.csv:

Axis	Description	Positive prompts	Negative prompts
alive	Living animal vs non-living depiction	"a photo of a living animal in nature/zoo"	dead, skeleton, drawing, taxidermy, statue, no animal…
distance	Shooting distance	close-up / medium / far (3 prompt sets each)	—
watermark	Intrusive watermark presence	large/stock watermark covering image	clean photo, subtle corner text…

This metadata enables downstream filtering (e.g. keep only alive=True and watermark=False) and distance-aware sampling.

---

Usage for classification

The dataset can be used directly for species classification since each folder corresponds to a single species. The folder name encodes the scientific name:

from datasets import load_dataset
from pathlib import Path

# Load all images with species labels derived from folder structure
ds = load_dataset("imagefolder", data_dir="Horama/animal_scrapped")

# Or manually:
species_folders = sorted(Path("data/").glob("*_images"))
for folder in species_folders:
    species = folder.name.replace("_images", "").replace("_", " ")
    images = list(folder.glob("*.jpg")) + list(folder.glob("*.png"))
    print(f"{species}: {len(images)} images")

Note that this is raw scraped data: some images may contain watermarks, dead specimens, drawings, or misidentified species. Use the CLIP classification CSV to filter for quality.

---

Downstream usage

This dataset serves as the source for Horama/animal-200-detection, where images are filtered (alive=True, watermark=False), subsampled with distance-aware quotas, and annotated with Grounding DINO bounding boxes for animal detection.

Limitations

• Raw scraped data — no manual curation. Expect noise: wrong species, drawings, taxidermy, watermarked stock photos, duplicates.
• Species counts are not perfectly balanced across all 199 species; rarer species may have fewer images.
• The CLIP classification CSV provides quality signals but is itself imperfect (zero-shot classification).
