ZooChat Challenge (Global) 2018

Ah, but then one would have to include any species which feeds on meat for consistencies sake :p and that way madness lies.
 
San Diego Zoo Safari Park - 01/01/2018
1.) African Lion (Panthera Leo)
2.) Sumatran Tiger (Panthera tigris sumatrae)
3.) Meerkat (Suricata suricatta)
4.) South African Cheetah (Acinonyx jubatus)
5.) Black-footed Cat (Felis nigripes)
6.) Fennec Fox (Vulpes zerda)

I rather slow start but this will change dramatically in the coming days. I didn't see the bat eared foxes or coati, and the ocelot was off exhibit.

Not necessarily. If the challenge was restricted to Carnivora and Dasyuromorphia that would make it doable for Australians (though I think those outside of Australia would still have the advantage) and would give a few more tickable species outside of Australia.
 
I think we'd be talking 9 species* (one of which isn't even held in Australia) and at least 2 others that are also around abroad...


*assuming that there aren't any PNG species in captivity over there
 
Just wondering what the stance on Dingoes/New Guinea Singing Dogs will be for this challenge?
 
The predicted text on my phone might make some of the scientific names interesting but here goes...

I don't think carnivorous marsupials count.
