Guess the species? #5

[Ituri]

I guess that makes number 2 the Ethiopian mountain adder Bitis parviocula then.

I don't know the antelope.

Correct about the adder.

You also illuminated a detail about the missing animal that hasn't yet been picked up on...

 

[Chlidonias]

that its an antelope rather than a deer? Someone suggested gerenuk earlier (but the neck is way too short).

 

[Ituri]

Ah yes. I missed that. It is indeed an antelope. An antelope a smidge smaller than a gerenuk.

 

[Chlidonias]

we don't have many antelopes in NZ so I'm not good with them, especially if someone isn't a good enough photographer to get the head unobscured in the shot

 

[Chlidonias]

maybe a reedbuck?

 

[Goura]

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.

Is it an Ader's duiker? I thought if it was that rare it must be a saola but as far as i know there aren't any in captivity, even in Vietnam.

 

[Chlidonias]

the snake is the one formerly known from only three specimens

I don't think the antelope's a duiker, the legs look too long and skinny

 

[Ituri]

Not likely to be confused for a duiker but a speaker of German may confuse it with an ibex!

 

[BeardsleyZooFan]

Is it a Blackbuck?

 

[Ituri]

Nope. It's not.

That makes it a steenbok, then.

 

[Ituri]

That is correct. DesertRhino wins with 4, Chlidonias with 1

1. Black-and-Rufous Giant Elephant-Shrew - Zoo Boise
2. Ethiopian Pit Viper - San Diego Zoo
3. Steenbok - San Diego Zoo Safari Park (the best photo I got of the skittish little thing)
4. Harlequin Duck - San Diego Zoo
5. Southern Bald Ibis - San Diego Zoo Safari Park

Okay then, here are six images for you all to guess over.

 

[Ituri]

1. Lungfish (South American?)
2. Javan Pond Heron
3. Grizzly Bear
4. Major Mitchell's Cockatoo
5. Tonkean Macaque
6. Honduran Milk Snake

6. Honduran Milk Snake

1 and 5 are both pretty close, but otherwise all of them are incorrect.

 

[Ituri]

1. African lungfish
2. Boat-billed Heron
3. Francois Langur
4. Scarlet Macaw
5. Moor Macaque
6. Bismark Pythoin

The first picture is indeed an African lungfish at Colchester Zoo. Numbers 4 and 5 are both also close.

4. Green-winged Macaw
5. Heck's Macaque

 

[AnaheimZoo]

That makes it a steenbok, then.

Wow. When Ituri originally posted his pictures, I was going to guess that just for the heck of it. Now I know that I should have.

 

[Moebelle]

4. Salmon-crested cockatoo
5. Gelada
6. Bicolored coral snake
