Before moving into the new year, we let’s get some final counts in for our 2020 Marsupial/Monotreme Challenge shall we? I’ve just gone through the thread and done a quick skim, so there’ll be a chance that there’s gonna be some mistakes here, but I’ll try my best 
.
Global Winner :
@WhistlingKite24 - 33 species
@CGSwans was close falling just a few species behind!
Australasia Winner :
@WhistlingKite24 - 33 species
An odd result, as the land down under normally has the disadvantages in these challenges
.
“Other” Winner :
@lintworm - 21 species
More than half, but still quite a lot behind Australasia!
And as requested, yes @Chlidonias did win his own category! Or did he…
Thanks to everyone for participating in 2020's challenge, and I hope for you to join us in 2021! I know it's still a bit early for results to be 100% final, but this is the result that I'm gonna be calling for now, but if there are any changes to be made, they'll follow.

While I am chuffed for being mentioned for my efforts, @lintworm has more than me...
You're right! My apologies

One species behind, in fact - I chalked up a 32nd species (quokka) a couple of weeks back but had forgotten to update the thread.
Surely my very modest number of 33 species is the smallest total ever required to have won a global challenge.
Hehe, that title actually goes to 2013's challenge, in which the winner got 8 species! To be fair, the challenge was penguins, so it's currently impossible to get to 33Surely my very modest number of 33 species is the smallest total ever required to have won a global challenge.

Where in the zoos did you see the Tammar Wallaby at Wildlife HQ and the Parma Wallaby at Currumbin? I have never seen either species at these zoos before.

The tammar wallaby is in the macropod enclosure, I saw it asleep in the rest area behind the sulpher crested cockatoo enclosure.
The Parma wallaby is in the very first enclosure as you enter the park after paying. They share an enclosure with cape barren geese and red necked wallaby.
At least I’m fairly confident that’s what they are, your making me second guess myself now. I have a photo of the wallaby I am fairly certain is a tammar if you would like me to upload it for identification?
I was just curious as to where they are located so I could see them myself on my next visit; no need to second guess yourself.
