I contend that you could show any child old enough to communicate in basic English a photograph (so not live continuous video) of some obscure animal they've never seen before (say an Okapi) and they'd be able to easily identify another Okapi when seeing one at a zoo.

- TeMPOraL 2y agoMy daughter is 5 y.o., which means because of kindergarten, I spend plenty of time about kids this age. A random kid this age would absolutely fail your test. They may remember the word after one exposure, but I doubt they'll remember any of the distinctive features. Hell, many adults would fail it. I'm not sure if I could pass such test - in my experience, you remember the important details only after first experiencing a test and realizing what exactly it is that would be useful in distinguishing the two animals.
