This is just for fun.

I will post the first photo and the first person to guess it correctly then has to post the next one

Here is the first one so lets get guessing?

That's definitely not an aye-aye. It has no claws, and the middle finger isn't much longer than the other fingers, whereas in aye-ayes the middle finger is considerably longer and really stands out.

While I can tell that it is not an aye-aye, I have no clue of what it could be, so I'm going to have to take a wild (no pun intended :)) guess and go with BeardsleyZooFan on this one; I'm guessing a gibbon, probably siamang.
 
I would say it's a saki (but wouldn't have a clue which species)

EDIT: having consulted Zootierliste to see what's around in the UK I'll have to say White-faced Saki

This IS a White Faced Saki Monkey taken at Dudley Zoo in the Monkey tails walk thru.

First correct answer was from Rhinopithecus so if you would like to put a photograph on to keep this rolling then start below.

EDIT - White faced Saki & White headed saki are the same before someone tries to ask.
 
I'll keep it going until Rhino comes back.

Have a go at these two. Too easy.

Emerald tree boa and Green-winged macaw?

No comment. :confused:
I'll let some other folks have a go before I post the answers in a few hours. :)

In the mean time, I hope that all players have a stash of photos ready to upload in case they get the answers correct - to keep the game flowing along nicely. :D
 
Emerald Tree Boa and Green-winged Macaw; I'm almost 100% certain. If that's correct, I was just a bit too late, however. ;)
 
Ok boys and girls, time for the answer: emerald tree boa and green-winged macaw. I told you it was simple!

Javan Rhino and AnaheimZoo both got them correct. Congrats!

BeardsleyZooFan, you were almost correct. Among other difference, the scarlet macaw has yellow feathers where the green-winged macaw has green feathers. (See pic from Ocean Park, Hong Kong.)

Javan Rhino has to post a pic/s now, but surely anyone who has some time on their hands can jump in to keep things moving?

will also say that the colouration is slightly different between green tree pythons and emerald tree boas - GTPs seem more of a lime green colour [as opposed to emerald green] and they don't have the white 'striping' on them [at least none that I've seen].

Here's mine, will close this as soon as somebody gets the right answer so that it can be carried on straight away :)

Oh yeah! I didn't even realised that he mixed up the snakes! Common mistake though, because I myself had to google to confirm which of the two I was posting. Haha.

Your pic is probably a green anaconda.
