Odd, I thought they'd all been guessed correctly!

1) Looks like a ghost bat, probably at Perth judging from the red light, only thing throwing it off is no ears hanging down but this looks like an underside view with the bat looking up.

2) It's a megapode...on the beach, what else could it be but a maleo?

3) Coloration is consistent with a New Caledonian (goliath) Imperial Pigeon.

I'm stumped!
 
Ituri will be kicking himself when all is revealed! (I'm actually expecting him to get it right).

Anyway, DesertRhino150 has one correct and Scolopendra has one correct.
 
that is exactly right. Female green junglefowl on Komodo Island.

Results:
DesertRhino150: one (ghost bat at Perth Zoo)
Scolopendra: one (New Caledonian imperial pigeon at the Noumea Zoo)
Ituri: one (wild green junglefowl on Komodo Island)

er, one of you lot can go next.....
 
I was even going to say on Komodo Island. The dirt just looks like Komodo. Anyway, one of you two can go, I'm swamped for the next day or so.
 
Alright, since no one has gone, I guess I'll go, four crops and a throw away pic:

1. Black and Rufous Elephant Shrew
2. Mang Mountain Pit Viper
3. A White-Tailed Deer? Sorry, it just looks like a deer.
4. Harlequin Duck
5. Unsure
 
Alright, may be time for some hints as this has stagnated.

DesertRhino did in fact get three in his first post.

The remaining ones include a species that as recently as 1995 was known from only three specimens.
 
I guess that makes number 2 the Ethiopian mountain adder Bitis parviocula then.

I don't know the antelope.
