Guess the species #6

robmv said:
Can I suggest that we stick to full species identifications. The subspecies just become a guessing game, rather than an ID challenge, in most cases.

A fair point - although the taxon everyone struggled with was the only one I did not want a subspecies for ;)

I think with the exception of the Canada Lynx - which everyone kept guessing Eurasian subspecies for - none of the subspecies provided too much challenge for people to work out.
 
It just so happens that subspecies of Lynx lynx throw up a lot of permutations!

hehe the only reason you knew the ssp of the Canada Lynx was because we had been discussing the zoo's lynx and I told you the ssp they'd be:p

Well I guess I'll go now!:)

Six photos from three different zoos, and don't bother trying to search through my personal gallery to try and find them.

Hmmm...

1. American Badger
2. Eastern Fox Snake
3. Buff-crested Bustard
4. Crested Screamer
5. Markhor
6. Malagasy Giant Jumping Rat


Nicked a few from TLD as didn't have anything better! :D
 
I think TLD's round broke the game because there wasn't a fast enough turn around, and now nobody can be bothered.
 
Yeah, blame me rather than the person who posed the round everyone is stuck on :p
 
Okay, I'll just list the correct ones so far to try and get this going again:

1) Short-Beaked Echidna Tachyglossus aculeatus aculeatus
2)
3) Buff-Crested Bustard Lophotis gindiana
4)
5)
6) Malagasy Giant Rat Hypogeomys antimena

I have absolutely no idea what 4 is or even what sort of animal it is. Clues please! (I thought it was a giraffes neck at first :o!
 
Number 2 isn't a Common Adder. I'll give a hint, though. It's a rattlesnake species.

Number 5 isn't a Banteng but that's closer than any other answer so far I believe.

Huh, I guess I pulled a TLD in thinking the hardest one would be the easiest. It's not a mammal, I'll give you that.

Is 4 a leg? Has this turned into my personal guess the species thread or is someone else going to guess?
