[Kudu21]

Firstly, going back through all of my updates from the beginning of the thread, I did find two errors on my part. The first being that my New-World Quail species (northern bobwhite (Colinus virginianus) from the Fort Worth Zoo) did not get copied over from my tracking document to my update document, so it was missing from the thread. The second being that I counted the African spurred tortoise twice for the Turtles & Tortoises challenge. This ended up not being an issue because I forgot to update numbers between updates, so the number remained the same with its removal. I have since removed it from the second listing.

With that out of the way, here's to a new update and another challenge finished!
