Bestzoo netted me a few species, I think most of them are not easy to see anywhere else.

Mammals
5. White-striped dorcopsis, Dorcopsis hageni
6. Japanese squirrel, Sciurus lis

Birds
6. Blyth's hornbill, Rhyticeros plicatus
0. Red-crowned parakeet, Cyanoramphus novaezelandiae*

* I haven't counted these, because the individuals in question belong to some kind of colour morph. Can I count these birds or not?

I don't think you can, but not for the reason you think - I believe those animals, along with a lot of the other Red-Crowned Parakeet in Europe, are hybrids.

In that case I shall refrain from counting them. I knew there was hybridisation going on in Europe, but I didn't realise it was that widespread.

The Japanese squirrels around in Europe might actually be a Red squirrel colormorph "hiding" as Japanese squirrels, many certainly look different than the real Japanese squirrel.

That's very interesting. Is this color morph from Japan or?

I did not know that, thanks! I'll take them off the list then.

I also saw that I forgot to mention bird number 4 (Victoria crowned pigeon, Goura victoria). I think I'm up to date then, with 5 mammals, 6 birds and 5 reptiles.
