P: (Masking) AI detection request to add animals (horses, dogs,...)

Lightroom clasic has great new features with AI masking, however I am still missing animal detection. I believe this would be very helphul for equine, dog, wildlife photography and even for basic home users. 

 

Current solution is use of AI feature subject detection, however it often fails as it does not predict well shape of an animal, this results as manual corrections needed on every mask when batch editing is used.

I agree with John. Wildlife is my specialty, but I do not miss animal detection. There are so many different animals, that this would always be suboptimal anyway. Object detection works fine for wildlife.

Try using Object masks instead -- I find them generally better than Subject masks.
