white-crowned hornbill is Berenicornis comatus from Asia, white-crested hornbill is Tropicranus albocristatus from Africa (but being a common English name they are often swapped about)
Guess the species? #1

DARN YOU CHLIDONIAS! I THOUGHT NO ONE WOULD GET IT! Indeed, it is a male blue/common/Indian peafowl. Javan Rhino, you are also correct. Great job, guys! Good eyes! 
I was hoping I'd get some photos on my trip for this game, and I thought it was perfect. Even though I know you guys are extremely intelligent, I thought no one would get it, considering blue and green are first to come to mind when you think peafowl. Once again, good job. 
Chlidonias, hit it right on the first time around. Number 2 is a long-tailed hornbill. White-crested would also be acceptable; they're the same species. Sorry, nanoboy (or your wife for that matter), Chlidonias is right, the white-crowned hornbill is different.
NO ONE HAS GOTTEN #2 YET! AND I THOUGHT THAT WOULD BE THE EASIEST!
Someone has gotten #4 right. I won't tell who; I'll reveal it later today, but for now, here's a hint... Think about what the Bronx Zoo has on their African Plains.
Sorry if you're not familiar with the Bronx Zoo. And Number 3, come on guys! It's really easy!
*Remember, in order to win, you have to get all 4 in your post. 3 are up, so think hard and get the last before anyone else!
By the way, the hint isn't to get it right, it's to see who got it right! The answer is somewhere in this thread!

Kiang wins! You'll go next, and when someone gets the other 4, they'll go after you.
...Uggh, that was way too easy.
These were all of the original pics people have gotten right so far.
Nobody's gotten the first 4 all right, and Kiang got the last two.
1. Male Common Peafowl
2. ???
3. Long-tailed/White-crested Hornbill
4. Someone's gotten the answer- but who?
5. American Bison (Kiang)
6. Emu (Kiang)

1) male blue peafowl
3) white-crested hornbill
4) female nyala
number two is almost certainly a bear. Its not a sun bear because the fur is way too long. The only other options with that white on the face are spectacled bear and Asiatic black bear. Neither of these are in the Bronx Zoo, however the spectacled bear is at the Queens Zoo.
So I'm stuck if its not a spectacled bear! I look forward to the answer!!

wow that full photo is not at all what I was expecting from the cropped version! Well done.
Now I need to consider whether to post a few easy photos or one really hard one....

Thank you.
I say mix it up: an easy one or two, a moderate one, then a really hard one!
But what's that pesky number 2? Give up?
It's a big 'ol grizzly bear!
Chlidonias, you got 3/4, I guuueeessss you can go, but it'll have to be after Kiang. Your turn, Kiang.
DARN IT!!! I was gonna guess Grizzly Bear because it's obviously not a Polar Bear and Grizzly is the only other species of bear that the Bronx has, but I wasn't logged on at the time this was going on! GRRR!
Damn. I got zero correct.
Where is Kiang? There should be an 8 hour allowance for sleep to post, and then you lose your turn.
Please someone else take my turn, i am not that technically minded to to clip a photo, never mind post it, so please anyone fire away.
Leopard Seal?
Already had these ready when Chlidonias posted, so may as well put them to use - hopefully a mix of difficulties...

Maguari got it straight off the bat, it was a leopard seal
