Animals You've Seen That Few Zoochatters Have Seen

I'd really like to know the exact distribution of the two LnB species. Do you know if there's any info out there?

The Northern is distributed from Townsville north to Cape York. Anything below that is Southern.

In the paper describing pallescens as a full species they also suggested that the animals from the middle part of eastern Queensland (e.g. around the Mackay area) may be a separate subspecies of Southern but didn't go further because it would need more study.

The link below should work for a pdf of the paper (which has maps etc as well as all the technical stuff), but if not you can find it on Google Scholar with the title "Investigating dental variation in Perameles nasuta Geoffroy, 1804, with morphological evidence to raise P. nasuta pallescens Thomas, 1923 to species rank"

Nice list, except.....(pedantry alert!), a 'couple' is two. These are more than two...... Sorry n all, but people keep doing this, and eventually I cracked. And yes, I know language is a living thing, and changes with time, but you'd get called out in here for calling a chimpanzee a monkey, or a heron a stork.

"Couple" is often used as a joke, in combination with a large amount of things.
 
Tossing a few out there, all wild.

Nazca Booby
Wrentit?
Sharp-tailed Snake

A variety of less common North American birds might count, although Ituri, birdsandbats, and Thylo likely share a good number of them.

How about Fin Whale and Atlantic White-sided Dolphin? Guessing a handful of Zoochatters but not many?

A couple captive ones with Dragon Eel, Peach-throated Monitor, and the recently described Ruby Red Dragonet? What about Peacock Mantis Shrimp?

I probably don't have as many odd birds as you may think.. especially not from your corner of the country.

As for the others, I have seen the whale, eel, monitor, and mantis shrimp.

I just remembered I saw the eel once, too, also in a pet store.
 
I was going through some old pictures and found a picture of what I though at the time I took it was a Meadow Vole. It turned out to be a Southern Red-backed Vole, a lifer for me and a species that surely qualifies for this thread.

Several of these species also occur in Europe. Slavonian (Horned) Grebe, Red-necked Grebe, Black-necked (Eared) Grebe, Common Tern and Red-throated Diver (Loon) are not that hard in western Europe, and I assume that besides me, @Maguari, @KevinVar and @Vision, among others, have seen these species. Many of the waders and several of the warblers are rare vagrants in Europe, some even relatively frequent (e.g. American Golden Plover). Boreal Owl also occurs in Europe, but is very difficult to see in the wild - though they're not that uncommon in zoos. Most (all?) the ducks are kept in captivity in western Europe, though not all in zoos. Same with White-faced Ibis, Indigo Bunting and probably a few other songbirds as well.

I really have no idea how uncommon the rest is, or how easy they are to see in the US.

Seen those on multiple occasions.

Seen all but the Red-necked Grebe for certain - I may have seen RNG in winter plumage but not sure - and have the Common Tern and Black-necked Grebe breeding only 20 minutes walk from my flat :)

59/105. So I've seen a little over half. Species seen in bold.

~Thylo
 
2 species not mentioned sofar and from which I think only very few ZooChatters have seen them are the Galapagos dove and the New Caledonian Imperial pigeon. I not only have seen these species ( the former in some private collections and at Weltvogelpark Walsrode ), the latter only at Weltvogelpark Walsrode ) I even took care for them ( ways back in the 1980s ) :) !
