How many mistakes can you spot?

Amphibian Ark, Paignton, 2nd November 2017.
A poor show from the Label Production Team :)
This is a burrowing species, so no animals were visible. They must appear above ground at some time however as their terrariums all have lids weighted down with bricks!
 
@gentle lemur I spot three, two of which are to do with dodgy capitalisation (and the third of which is pretty fundamental). Unless there was some broader, contextual information nearby, the biggest mistake is thinking that this is anything other than wholly inadequate in what it tells visitors about the animals they are seeing...
 
@sooty mangabey I agree with each of your points, except that I don't think that many visitors will actually see these animals at all. To be fair, this is a new species at the zoo which has only been on display for a short time, so the current set-up may only be temporary.
 
I see three too, although I also think that "IUCN Conservation status" should be either "IUCN Conservation Status" or "IUCN conservation status". It does not look right the way it is.
 
@birdsandbats: I don't know much about caecilians but it seems the picture is of the correct species or even if it isn't, it is at least a Microcaecilia species.

Anyways, I can see that caecilian wasn't spelled right and that the M of Microcaecilia (and perhaps the S of statue too) aren't capitalized.
