Guess the species #6

[Moebelle]

Spiny-tailed Gecko at Perth Zoo.

Not Hawaii nor Perth. I didn't realise they had been released on Hawaii, and Wikipedia also mentions an island in Maine, but its not that either. Might be a bit tricky, as I looked it up and they're not totally wild - confined to a privately-owned island where the population is unmanaged and has been for several decades.

 

[Moebelle]

Nevermind North Dakota. I'll try Isle Haute.

Are there in islands in North Dakota? This one is surrounded by sea water and I saw it from a whale watching boat.

Haha yes as soon as I hit "Submit Reply" I noticed that. See my last response though.

Nope, other coast, slightly further north, in USA.

Do I have to guess the island or cam I just guess the state. If I had to guess the state it would be Washington.

 

[zooboy28]

Yes, that's fine. It was Washington, Spieden Island to be precise. You still need to get the other two locations (for #1 and #2) to win, and they will be very tricky (being in many zoos), so I might put a time limit on it - maybe three hours from now.

And fortunately that island wad going to be my guess. Do you mind giving a hint on what continent the owl was on?

 

[Moebelle]

Tarango Zoo for the gecko.

 

[zooboy28]

Owl in Europe, so that's not going to help much - there are 474 holders listed on zootierliste of the same (nominate) subspecies. The gecko was in Australia (but not Taronga).

Final Results:

#1 - Eurasian Eagle Owl @ Rome Bioparc (Moebelle + X)
#2 - Northern Spiny-tailed Gecko @ Crocosaurus Cove (Moebelle + X)
#3 - Greater Egyptian Jerboa @ Wroclaw Zoo (Chlidonias + Chlidonias)
#4 - Collared Lory @ San Diego Zoo (Nanoboy + Chlidonias)
#5 - Mouflon @ Spieden Island (Chlidonias + Moebelle)

So a tie between Chlidonias & Moebelle for species ID, but Chlidonias wins for location guesses. Looking forward to the next round!

Good guesses though, I can see where they are coming from, but all quite wrong.
