[kiang]

is 4 a kagu?

Are you sure about the two hints?

as far as I know, out of all the flightless birds (ostrich, emu, rheas, cassowaries, kiwi, kakapo, galagapos cormorant, steamer ducks, 2 species of teal, 2 species of grebe, different kinds of rail/crake and all penguins) only the emu and kiwi are national birds.

 

[Chlidonias]

is 4 a kagu?

YES!!!

For what I thought was an easy round that one sure did streeeeeetch out!

Anyone who wants can go next.

Here are 4 birds. (That's the neck of the bird in #4 by the way.)

 

[BeardsleyZooFan]

I'm not good with birds, so don't get high expectations from me.
1. Not sure yet
2. Looks so familiar, just can't remember what it is!!!
3. Siberian Crane
4. African Gray Parrot

those would be three Australian birds and one African one?

 

[Goura]

1. Cape Barren Goose
2. Banded Land rail
3. Brolga
4. African Grey parrot

[nanoboy]

1. Cape Barren Goose
2. Banded Land rail
3. Brolga
4. African Grey parrot

Yup, I will give it to you! Well done!

1. Cape Barren Goose
2. Buff banded rail
3. Brolga

Since we've had quite a lot of birds in this thread i thought we might test the abilities of the reptile enthusiasts.

 

[nanoboy]

I'll have a try later, but does anyone else think that a lot of those crops look like dinosaurs??

 

[Pacarana]

1- Bush Master
2- Caiman Lizard
3- Mexican Spiny Tailed Iguana
4- Rosy Boa
5- Slender Snouted Crocodile

 

[ralph]

another hint? It's the national bird of it's country.

Ah well, the kagu, makes lots of sense now.
New Caledonia isn't a country though, but I'll forgive you for that.

 

[Goura]

1- Bush Master
2- Caiman Lizard
3- Mexican Spiny Tailed Iguana
4- Rosy Boa
5- Slender Snouted Crocodile

Very good so far!...1,2 and 4 correct! Not quite right on the other two - just a hint - they are both Asian species.

 

[BeardsleyZooFan]

1. Bushmaster
2. Caiman Lizard
3. I'll give it a try later...
4. Rosy Boa
5. Mugger Crocodile

 

[Pacarana]

Would 3 be a Philippine Sailfin Lizard?

The last one is hard. To me all Crocodilian heads looks about the same. I will go with my gut and say Philippine Crocodile.

 

[Chlidonias]

New Caledonia isn't a country though, but I'll forgive you for that.

if you want to be technical I will quote Countries - Pacific - New Caledonia - Information Paper - NZ Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade as below:

Political system: The 1998 Nouméa Accord defined New Caledonia as an “Overseas Country” of France. Since 1999, New Caledonia has had enhanced self-governing status within the French Constitution. The terms “collectivité territoriale” (territorial collectivity) or “collectivité française du Pacifique” (French Pacific collectivity) are accepted.

You're right on number 3 but not the last one. If you've been to Singapore zoo you will have seen it.

 

[Goura]

Another hint - there's a good reason why Pacarana thinks it's a slender-snouted crocodile.

 

[Javan Rhino]

False gharial for the last one?
