And I was the first person to guess wombat, just out by specific species
I think the mystery leg is some sort of hoofstock, thought I'd hit the nail on the head with pronghorn but will have to do some searching
1. Polar Bear- JavanRhino
2. Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat- Chlidonias
3. Sandhill Crane- BZF
4. Black-tailed Prairie Dog- BZF
5. ? ? ? ? ?
6. Chacoan Peccary- BZF
7. Dexter Cattle- BZF
8. Greater Rhea- BZF
BeardsleyZooFan's got 5/8 right, although they might have been a little easy for him. So, to make it fair, whoever gets the last one will go next.
Hint: Furry, and JavanRhino, believe it or not, has had the closest guess when he said "dwarf giraffe"

I guess Okapi
Nope. I know how badly you want to go again, nanoboy.
EDIT:
Furry, keep in mind.
An okapi's coat is thin, I thought? Thin and greasy, right? 
I just can't figure out #5
, can you give us a hint? Sorry if I sound like a dirty cheater.

I'd have to say llama (a camelid at any rate, so one of the South American ones: if everyone takes a stab at a species we'll nail it )
)
Guanaco - there's my guess.
I think the legs are hairier on the domestic camelids, so that leaves us with Vicuna or Guanaco if you're right Chlidonias. I'm noticing the reddish-brown on the leg, and don't think Vicuna have that :s

AARGH Chlidonias! That makes so much sense now that I think of it, considering it looks like a Llama leg, and since most of these photos were taken at Beardsley, and Beardsley has Llamas... well you get the idea.
Furry, keep in mind.
Thin and greasy - oh no, I always thought they look beautiful and velvety!
Well, yes, they're downright gorgeous and velvety soft, but I said greasy because of a San Diego Zoo video I saw where a zookeeper rubbed an okapi and showed the greasy stain it left on his hand.
THE WINNER IS...............
Chlidonias,
once again!
It's a LLAMA!

So we had
1. Polar Bear (taken by my uncle at San Diego Zoo)
2. Southern Hairy-nosed Wombat (also at San Diego Zoo)
3. Sandhill Crane (Beardsley Zoo- the rest are Beardsley Zoo pics)
4. Black-tailed Prairie Dog (the cropped prairie dog is the one in the back
)5. Llama
6. Chacoan Peccary
7. Dexter Cattle
8. Greater Rhea

I wasn't really playing this round because I came in too late, so I'll give my turn to Javan Rhino (because he did at least know number 2 was a wombat, and he got polar bear and some of the others; and, er, "baby giraffe"....which isn't as bad as "albino ostrich chick" )
)

I'd say 5 is good.
Sorry, I'm terrible at limiting myself.
Yeah, don't worry. We all get excited to post as many as we can, because we never know if we will win another round.
