Realized I forgot one species when uploading this list yesterday:

We're Gonna Need a Bigger Trap (5/10):
5. Red-Rumped Agouti- Dasyprocta leporina
Second Buffalo Zoo visit of the year (it was raining instead of snowing this time), and as expected, a few no-shows from last time made themselves visible today.

7. Addax- Addax nosomaculatus
8. Roan Antelope- Hippotragus equinus cottoni

Embrace the ABC's (7/36):

6. Polar Bear- Ursus maritimus (I saw this one on both visits, but realized I forgot to add it to my list for this challenge)

Hall of Champions (2/11):
2. Roan Antelope- Buffalo Zoo

Challenges completed remains 4/29. I'm still missing a few more animals at Buffalo, which I'll likely pick up as I continue visiting almost every week. Notably I'm waiting for warm weather so that the rhinos, lemurs, and giraffes are outside, patiently hoping that the Canada lynx will be visible at some point this year (I see it on less than half my visits), and there're still a few turtles I haven't seen yet this year. Probably a few other things I'm also missing too.

Is anybody aware of any new world quail species on display in the Australasia or Asia-Pacific regions? I haven't found any evidence of them in available sources so far.

Californian Quail and Bobwhite are both kept in aviculture in Australia and NZ, but you don't normally see them in zoos. I'm surprised not to find either of them on Featherdale's species list though. I have seen the quail here and there in NZ public aviaries (the sort of aviaries you get in botanic gardens). Maybe work through the smaller collections in Australia and see if you can see anything on their websites / social media, or on Tripadvisor photos?

Right - when I first read the challenges I just thought ‘of course, I’ll find Cali quail somewhere’, but it seems not. Flying High in Qld once had them, but not any more. I don’t think this one is possible in the region.
 
Galapagos tortoises will count as one species for this.
Question: Does this rule only count towards Island Hoppers, or to the entirety of the challenge? For example, for Bonafide Rarity Hunter, would the Santiago Giant Tortoises at Toledo, the only holder of C. darwini, count, or would they be disqualified due to other zoos holding different Galapagos tortoises?

Last I was aware SDZ also held a darwini?

Sorry for the long post. I claimed the African Quailfinch for species kept at only one zoo in the World (outside Africa). Please correct me, if I am wrong. The other possibility is Short-tailed horned lizard, but Mexico is a bit border zone. Had some no- shows, like Okapi, Red Duiker and Nyala, but the Bearded parrotbill was unpleasant one. Check your Feeders is a tougher than I thought in Europe.

I got some nice sunny hours yesterday, but still missed the second possible European passerine (Grey-headed goldfinch). I saw some rarities like Chinese babax and Taiwan liocichla, though. Check Your Feeders is the only "more than one species" challenge I can't open :) Mountain Reedbuck, Arabian Oryx and Mhor Gazelle where not outside and the Bat-eared Foxes where hiding all day. TP have at least 5 Turtles/ Tortoises bts.
