What is the total size of the animal database?

The current dataset contains over 45 distinct species, meticulously divided across 5 major zoological categories.

Are certain categories weighted to appear more frequently?

No. The randomizer works strictly at the species level, meaning every individual animal holds the exact same probability of being selected.

Can I filter the generator to show only specific categories?

Currently, the generator pulls from the entire global list to maximize variety, but your recent history log helps you keep track of all outputs.
