This Demonstration showcases the capabilities of Wolfram|Alpha for finding scientific names and taxonomies of several species of tortoises published in a viral photo in a popular web article (see [1]). By clicking a turtle image in the left panel, the corresponding common name is displayed in the table on the right, along with the scientific name and a short description retrieved by a Wolfram|Alpha query.

The code in the Demonstration elaborates on another graphical user interface coded differently from a previous one published by the author (see [2]).

In this case it comprises a set of setter controls arranged in a grid pattern according to the options available for the SetterBar control in Manipulate; in this way the image buttons look integrated in the control panel. The information is displayed on the right panel.
