Nope. Was waiting for @ZooBinh to comment, but here's the rule:

10. Domestics do not count, the animals must be in a wild form. You can count a species that's been domesticated just as long as the animal you're looking at isn't;
 
Yes, as @TinoPup has stated, domestics do not count. My apologies for letting that blow over, my life has been busy this year, I'll work on keeping the thread on track this upcoming weekend.

I'm also planning to make a spreadsheet to track everyone's list, so I'll plan to work on that as well. :)

I think I have a fair shot of placing high in the challenge, a visit to MZ would likely get me elephant and platypus, a visit to Moonlit would cover pademelons and eastern greys and a visit to Phillip Island Wildlife Park would cover Eastern greys, Wallaroo, Parma wallaby and a pademelon
