Big update from yesterday...
Hamerton - 04/11/21
34. Squirrel Glider (Petaurus norfolcensis)
Missed out on the Quoll and both Possum species and I don't think I'll be back before the end of the year so adios Hamerton, you served me well!
! Hope everyone is having fun. Apologies if it seems my appearances overseeing the thread have been lacking. I am a busy student, so I'm using my holiday time to catch up on the challenge here. A few things I've noted:
. I hope you two (and @ThylacineAlive) have had fun taking the lead from me 
. I don't think I'll have many (if any) zoo visits left for me in the year, so I won't be back to reclaim my spot 
..) in a few weeks, in which I’ll be able to carry through into 2022. Thanks everyone for participating!
Ah, you caught me trying to undermine your leadYou haven't got me down for African Elephant (Loxodonta africana) on the tracker.
Glad to hear you're doing okay. I was slightly worried that our host had gone MIA but I'm relieved to hear it's just normal life getting in the way instead of anything more serious.
. Jokes aside, I didn't have your Rodrigues Fruit Bat either! They were both on the common name sheet, but not on the scientific name sheet . Anywho, that's taken care of.. I sure did appear MIA and I did get the jolts of guilt when I saw others correcting mistakes in place of me 
. But yes, I'll be checking in only when I'm off on break pretty much (from August till now was a pretty long stretch, but winter break is only three weeks after Thanksgiving Break which is now, and winter break carries over into the New Year).
Hoo! Made a right mess of that post!! Do Dudley have them anyway? Didn't see any there!But was it at Hoo or Dudley, now that is the question...?
Also you didn't number it. Does that mean you now have to see it again??
They're in the barn at Dudley so only viewable when it's open.
I went in the barn but didn't see a sign for them!They're in the barn at Dudley so only viewable when it's open.
In that case they may be gone then, can't recall if I went in there last visit.

It's hard to miss the Flying Foxes at the Bush
Very nice, guessing Plzen is next then?

Good job I'm only aiming for a podium finish otherwise I'd have been very upset by these latest developments!
I didn't mean to upset you. You are making truly great run this year! Plzen brought me to the Czech Republic, of course,but the main reason to visit Prague is the new Darwin Crater. Many of the potential ticks for this Challenge overlap actually, so I don't think Plzen can add a lot to my total. I don't underestimate the other three players with 30 +, either. @WhistlingKite24 is living in Australia and he is the previous winner. @ZooBinh is the creator of the Challenge. And who would dare to underestimate @pipaluk ?
Since Thylo has been awfully quiet recently I'm hoping he has finished his total now, even with the Tamandua still within his grasp.I saw now, that you're on par with @ThylacineAlive , so It's going to be intresting last days
Living in Australia is great for marsupials, but I'm not sure there's too much he (she?) can add without travelling a substantial distance. But it is summer down under, so maybe it's their time for a holiday...
He's ruled himself out, he's not much of a threat to me now!
I'm hoping @pipaluk has decided to go all out and be the UK winner for the Europe challenge and will be nice and let me claim the UK crown for this one...
Not upset at all, I'm aware you want the European itle and unfortunately you're also having to see all these cooler mammals as well. No hard feelimgs at all.Thank you, my friend

And yeah, my run is going well but I think it helps that I go to a lot of smaller places with smaller stuff. Really helps boost the total when so many other eligible species are found outside of the UK.
I've had a blast with this challenge though, and I'm hoping I can add at least one or two more before the end of the year!
You have seen the bigger picture, obviously. I hope you will be able to grab some cool last minute stuff UK delivers really good for this Challenge.
