Incorrect Photo Anomaly
Incorrect Photo is a Photo anomaly in Animal Hospital. The patient's photo shows different eyes, ears, or horns compared to how they appear at the window. Learn the detection method.
Detection layer: Photo
Only visible after taking a photo with the camera.
Photo anomalies are easy to miss because the patient can look normal before the camera is used. Take the photo, leave enough time to compare details, and do not admit the patient until the image matches the window view.
From Shift 4 onward, make photo comparison part of the normal check-in rhythm. A mismatch in ears, eyes, horns, face style, or image quality is enough to stop the admission.
Common mistakes
Skipping this check because the patient looks normal on another layer. Some Animal Hospital anomalies only reveal themselves through one specific view.
Waiting too long after the sign appears. Once a required check fails, close the shutters instead of trying to rescue the admission.
Quick run checklist
Name the layer first: window, photo, or camera. Then name the exact sign you saw. This keeps a team from arguing about whether the patient feels strange and turns the callout into a clear decision.
For Incorrect Photo, the key sign is: The patient's photo does not match how they appear at the window. Differences can include eyes, ears, or horns - for example, the photo shows bear ears while the patient at the window has rabbit ears.
The safe response is: Hold admission. Compare the live patient against the photo carefully. Any mismatch in eyes, ears, or horns is a rejection signal.
