Lowland Anoa was chided for doing the scarlet ibis, which is no longer held by the zoo.
it never resulted in any rule though, which therefore means the rule was not considered necessary
then there is no problem with OrangePerson's riddle, is there?
Which would make it Swampy's turn. (Again
I'm not sure if i'm good at this, or just visit this thread far too often...
A dark giant, watching those who enter his Realm.
Galapagos giant tortoise, as their enclosure near the main entrance of the Tropical Realm. It would work even better if they were Porter's blackish tortoises from Santa Cruz, but they are actually hybrids.

Yup, correct answer. I was going to incorporate that their ancestors came from 2 islands into the clue, but thought it was easy enough anyway.
Your turn!
I have three names (at least). One is just one word, the second is two words and the third is three words with a hyphen. One of these names celebrates an old reprobate.

Well both of course!

Don't you'd be wasting your time. Encyclopedia of Plankton Species of the World Upside Down is a complete rip-off, it's just Encyclopedia of Plankton Species of the World with the same narrative and all the photo's inverted.
interesting to note, also, that the author had the temerity to use the inverted photos to describe all the species again as new Australian species.
I would like to say lion-tailed macaque, with the one word Australian-sounding name being wanderoo (or wanderu), but I have no idea what the two-word reprobate's name would be....
Quite right! It is Macaca silenus of course, and Silenus was one of Greek mythology's dirty old men (there were quite a few of them, I believe).
Alan
ah, the binomen! I was trying to think of a two-word common name.
Okay, my clue is Batman.

Rodrigues Fruit Bat, cause, ya know, Bats. Anyways, on to the real reason I came to this. The Villians Batman fights (Joker, Scarecrow, etc.) are refered to as the "Rogues Gallery." The word "Rogue", which if letters are added to specific parts of the word, can be transformed into "Rodrigues" with D,R,I, and S being Added. I know this is probably wrong, but hey, It may be
A male keeper in fruit bat forest
Palawan Peacock pheasant, because bantam is an anagram of batman, the peacock pheasant is the bantam of the pheasant world, and Palawan and batman rhyme.
Wait the "an" in Palawan is pronounced like "an"?? I've always pronounced it like "on"!

Livingstone's Flying Fox (Pteropus livingstonii) because it's a fruit bat and it's named after David Livingstone, who was a man.
Probably wrong but it's the best I've got

I came up with a couple of wonderful answers to this question, Tilapia joka and Bruce's green pigeon, but unfortunately the management at Chester have not co-operated by actually keeping these species 
I rejected Chester's bats and the snowy-crowned robin-chat because they are far too obvious.
But then the right answer became clear. The brains behind Batman's whole operation is Alfred, the Jeeves to Bruce Wayne's Wooster. I am sure Bruce thinks of him as 'Dear Alfred', which gives us Alfred's deer or the Philippines spotted dear, Rusa alfredi, named after Queen Victoria's second son, Admiral Prince Alfred, Duke of Edinburgh and Duke of Saxe-Coburg and Gotha, QED.
