A puzzle game with simple rules – clear out panels by matching 4 or more tiles, and rearrange tiles by swapping two neighboring panels.
Touch and drag the animal in the direction where you want it inserted, and the animals switch positions. Vertically or horizontally, line up more than three of the same animals to “catch” them. Catch more than the target number, and you beat the stage!

Use BINOCULARS if you can’t find the animals you need to catch

And for a step up on the tile-matching game challenge ladder, consider Cubistry (4/5 stars, currently priced at 99 cents) which takes this game concept into the third dimension. From Amazon:
Cubistry is a 3D cube matching puzzle game. Rotate a cube of cubes in three dimension with a swipe of your finger and tap cubes that look the same to make them pop. Pop’em all to win the game in Puzzle Mode or hold back the cubes from becoming a cube of cubes in Cube Attack Mode!
