[Chlidonias]

and is the fish a species of sweetlips?

 

[Maguari]

Number 3 - Common Eland?

and is the fish a species of sweetlips?

Yes. Now lets have it narrowed down to a species.

 

[Maguari]

and is the fish a species of sweetlips?

That's what I was trying to think of!

 

[DesertRhino150]

Number 3 - Common Eland?

You're getting warmer now, you've found the right group.

 

[Maguari]

Right:

1 - Oriental Fire-bellied Toad
2 - Geoffroy's Cat
3 - Lowland Nyala
4 - Toco Toucan
5 - Yellow-banded Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus lineatus)


*hopes*

 

[Hevden]

i think no.5 is a diagonal banded sweetlips (plectorhinchus lineatus)?

 

[Hevden]

missed it both times. whoops.

5 - Yellow-banded Sweetlips (Plectorhinchus lineatus)

Oooh!

Another one down, number 5 is a yellow-banded (or diagonal-banded sweetlips) at The Deep.

Number 3 remains unknown for now. Keep guessing.

Bactrian camel?

 

[Chlidonias]

but isn't that a horn on the right of the photo?

Or maybe its an ear?

 

[Maguari]

but isn't that a horn on the right of the photo?

An ear, I think. I've been thinking along female tragelaphine lines, but I'm wondering about a deer now. The only one that might fit is Pere David's Deer?

 

[DesertRhino150]

It isn't a camel or a deer. I will reveal that much.

 

[Chlidonias]

I think Tragelaphus is most likely, just from the colouration. I think I'll take a stab at sitatunga.

You devil, that was going to be my next guess!

 

[DesertRhino150]

Finally, all five of them present and correct! Number 3 was indeed a female sitatunga at Africa Alive.

Well done, everyone!

 

[Chlidonias]

OK, time for some trickier stuff! I don't expect exact specifics for these, just the closest people can get (eg, if there was a scarlet macaw here then macaw would be an acceptable answer but "parrot" would not)

 

[Hevden]

no 3 porcupine?

 

[Chlidonias]

for number three I need a bit more because there are several very different types of porcupine around the world (but yes, porcupine is correct )

....and I only just noticed the label in the photo d'oh!

 

[Hevden]

North american porcupine
