As the person to finally get all six in the correct order, he gets first shot at the next challenge; if he is not interested Thylo and Macaw can fight it out, having each got two correct guesses apiece.
Here are the two images which caused all the trouble, by the way:

I really wanted to win this as I have had a set of quiz photos ready for several months
. I will complete my checks before take-off and I hope to post the new quiz later today.

Just make sure I win
.I'm really annoyed as I thought Glossy Ibis, but decided no as it didn't look right! Grrr....
gentle lemur's slightly twisted quiz
Here are my photos for identification this time round.
Although they may look a little different, there are no tricks here. All the images are in the correct orientation and all the photos were taken in the UK, although some were taken a while ago. To the best of my knowledge, with one exception, all these species are currently on display in one or more UK collections.
I am making two slight twists to the regular format. As you can see, one of the images shows a fish - I don't think we have had one here before. It is not an uncommon species in collections.
Secondly I have chosen the subjects so that there is a connection between them. The correct answer must not only name the species correctly, but it must explain this connection. I think this will actually help to identify the more difficult images.
Have fun

Three correct answers so far, but no one has established a connection yet (as a Chester member I might have thought of islands, but I didn't). I would always recommend the study of Fishbase, but it does have entries for 33200 species, so the last one may cause problems for a while

1) pig-nosed turtle
2) Celebes black ape
3) round-eared elephant shrew
4) sable antelope
5) rhinoceros hornbill
6) butterfly goodied
They all have another animal in their common name.

ooh, actually lion-tailed macaque for number two. It fits my link suggestion better...
I like all your guesses devilfish; the only issue I can find is that all six taxa are found within the UK at present.
