You are at 53, as 1) you were at 37 rather than 38 because I discounted the Lowland Anoa from your previous update, and 2) you already counted White Rhino from Timbavati.

99% sure it is a signage mistake, warthogs in North America should essentially be one intermixed population - either P. africanus or hybrid... so your total is 186 unless I read or hear otherwise!

103.) Striped hyena (Hyaena hyaena)

Only Spotted Hyenas count, other hyenas have a different social structure :) so your total is 114.

Bit of a random question: has anyone counted White-lipped Tamarin (Saguinus labiatus)? I have it in my spreadsheet but no tallies under anyone's column for it.

Thanks for the catch.

If you need to easily check what is listed "somewhere" in the thread, you can set the search box to "Search this thread only".

"White-lipped Tamarin" only results in your post (because that common name wasn't the one used), but using the scientific name showed where it was listed.

I will adjust my own list accordingly.
I will concede on the Flying Fox because the signage was confusing and it was hard to see everything in a dark red exhibit.
Zoos need to find a better solution to displaying nocturnal animals. If no one can see them, they can't be appreciated and become ambassadors.
I included the Potto because it was a primate and not on the original exclusion list for Primates.
The beaver exhibit had a lot of individuals so I thought maybe they were a social species.
Sorry about the misunderstanding.
 
Also, I included the Hyrax because I read they lived in small colonies and are not rodents.
So would Prairie Dogs be excluded too?
Just wanted to be sure not to include them in any future posting.

No worries - 88 then. I figured it might be one of those weird signage situations where it talks about a species that isn't actually present, but I wanted to check first - a new bat species popping up would be exciting!

It technically is - I excluded lorises, and the Potto is a loris - but it's true I didn't mention them by name so I can see the confusion.

Prairie dogs are members of the squirrel family and we are counting all squirrels. Hyraxes are arguably a social species that could have been included, but I overlooked them when I was designing the challenge.

Rather than trying to decide what species are social or not, I would suggest just going by exactly what is in the OP. I've made very few changes to it in later posts, so it's 99% accurate as to what counts and what doesn't.
