Guess the species #6

Maguari said:
Traditionally, there are two species of wildebeest - Connochaetes taurinus (Blue Wildebeest or Brindled Gnu) and C. gnou (Black Wildebeest or White-tailed Gnu). Up to five species have recently been proposed, however.

For reasons I cannot explain, if I mean both or either species in general I say 'wildebeest', but I use the 'gnu' forms to refer to each species specifically.

No. 5 is, in fact, a wildebeest, but I'll hold fire on confirming which just for a short time... :p

Sweet. Cheers.

1. Moose
2. Camel
 
No-one's even guessed the right family yet for No. 1...


(this post contains an implied hint for No. 2 as well...)
 
1) Western Sitatunga (Tragelaphus spekii gratus)
2) Dromedary (Camelus dromedarius)
3) Blesbok ( Damaliscus pygargus phillipsi)
4) Cape Ground Squirrel (Xerus inauris)
5) Black Wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou)

Reckon I know the collection too.
 
We have now hit the right family for number 1, but not the right species.

3, 4 and 5 have been guessed, but not more than two of the three correct in the same post so far.

No. 2 still eludes people - though one post was on the right track...

Not sure if TLD has the collection right or not - care to put your money where your mouth is? ;)

(actually, if you have got the zoo right it will probably help with No. 2...)
 
I think I figured the zoo out.

1) Arabian Oryx
2) Red River Hog
3) Blesbok
4) Cape Ground Squirrel
5) Blue Wildebeest

1) Eastern Bongo (Tragelaphus euryceros isaaci)
2) Northern White Rhinoceros (Ceratotherium simum cottoni)
3) Springbok (Antidorcas marsupialis)
4) Cape Ground Squirrel (Xerus inauris)
5) Black Wildebeest (Connochaetes gnou)
 
After seeing TLD's response:p

1) Arabian Oryx
2) Northern White Rhinoceros
3) Blesbok
4) Cape Ground Squirrel
5) Blue Wildebeest

I'll go with:

1. Lesser Kudu
2. Northern White Rhinoceros
3. Springbok
4. Cape Ground Squirrel
5. White-tailed Gnu
 
TLD and robmv both just one answer away now - and all have been guesses correctly somewhere!
 
1) Arabian Oryx
2. Northern White Rhinoceros
3. Springbok
4. Cape Ground Squirrel
5. White-tailed Gnu

...and we have a winner! :)

The zoo was Dvur Kralove, of course - the only zoo in the world with that combination.

Just about to start work now so will post the full photos later. Over to you, Chli!
 
well I won by not actually making a guess on a single photo (also known as cheating), so I shall pass the turn on to whoever Maguari decides is next in line.

In that guess, we'll go to 'first correct guesses' and by my count it's pretty unambiguous:

1 - Thylo
2 - TLD
3 - Moebelle
4 - Thylo
5 - Thylo


Thylo - your go! :)
 
Well alright then:)

I figured I'd follow the same trend and do the same zoo for all the photos!

I figured the cropped images might be a bit difficult to see and what not so I've included a hint for each into the title;)

It seems it didn't work right for the last three so the titles are "Tom", "My baby!" and, "Natalie Portman".
