I'm afraid not.

 

[Moebelle]

3. Pygmy hippo

 

[Maguari]

1 - Calamian Deer (just to show I'm paying attention! )
2 - Zebra Hornshark
3 - Common Hippo
4 - Hmm... White-winged Dove?
5 - Little Egret

 

[Ituri]

1. Calamian Deer - Phoenix Zoo
2. Zebra Horn Shark - SeaLife Arizona
3. No
4. White-winged Dove - Phoenix Zoo
5. No

 

[Maguari]

In that case:

5 - Snowy Egret (basically the 'North American Little Egret' )

 

[Maguari]

3 has got me completely baffled. Can't even decide if they're hooves, paws or flippers...

 

[Ituri]

Correct 5 is indeed a snowy egret, which Maguari accurately referred to as essentially an American little egret.

If nobody gets 3 I'll post a slightly different crop of it this evening.

Thought it had to be one of the two with the striking black-and-yellow feet livery! Continents aside they really are very similar. I don't know if you get Littles in zoos over there but the only place I've ever seen a Snowy was wild in San Diego!

 

[Ituri]

No, I don't believe we have any little egrets. I've seen them wild plenty, but this individual was captive at the Phoenix Zoo.

A thought:

3 - North American Beaver

 

[Ituri]

A thought:

3 - North American Beaver

And an excellent thought it is!

1. Calamian Deer - Phoenix Zoo - Moebelle
2. Zebra Horn Shark - SeaLife Arizona - Maguari
3. American Beaver - Arizona-Sonora Desert Museum - Maguari
4. White-winged Dove - Phoenix Zoo - Maguari
5. Snowy Egret - Phoenix Zoo - Maguari

EDIT: Fixed the winners.

 

[Moebelle]

As excited as I am, Marguari guessed white-winged dove. Making him the winner.

Seriously Maguari, I am so, so sorry about that!

 

[Maguari]

OK, get your guessing-gear round these five beauties...

 

[AnaheimZoo]

Sure, Ituri's feeling hazy. You sure you're not high like nanoboy suggested?

 

[Maguari]

Seriously Maguari, I am so, so sorry about that!

No worries!
