Thank you for your response, I have a couple follow up questions if that’s ok. When you say that the “accuracy is too large”, is that because the user did not upload the GPS info with the photo? Also, what decides if an animal is added to a checklist? I see that The United States is shaded orange, but I don’t believe there are wild Cheetahs here, and I see that other countries have Observations w/o Media but are not shaded, such as Colombia. And finally, what decides if the country is set to absent, and why would an observation like the one you linked not override that?
