wildlife spotting

Seeking wild animals

Wildlife spotting is the recreational activity of searching for and observing animals in their natural habitats.

Unlike hunting, the goal is observation rather than capture: We went wildlife spotting in the national park.

The term covers everything from casual birdwatching to organized safaris seeking particular species.
