"Most Seen" Animals (iNaturalist)

Can you name the animals that are most commonly identified across the world? This is based on observations uploaded to iNaturalist.org, so they aren't necessarily the most abundant animals, but rather the animals that the most people see, take interest in, and identify.
Note: the majority of iNaturalist users are from North America
Be as specific as possible. For example, you wouldn't want to just say "Jay" for "Blue Jay"

Nice quiz! Perhaps an update, as the numbers (and top species) have changed?

Yes! You're right, there have already been some big changes. I figured no one would care about this quiz so I haven't bothered to update it. But I'll do that now! Thanks for the support
