The previous one took us over 3 weeks
It's because I wasn't there!
In seriousness, however, I look forward to losing the next one (maybe).
Guess the species #6
- Thread starter Chlidonias
- Start date

It was meant to be challenging - but it got solved in just over 2 days

It certainly was challenging!
As the previous one took over 3 weeks, may I suggest we add a new rule along the lines of 'if it exceeds x days (14 perhaps?) than the player who got the most answers correct starts a new round (or if a certain player merits the turn)'; as this would help keep the game moving and hopefully mean the game runs smoother and better, and stops members losing interest.
I'm going to sort of ignore the theme for now because it seems rather confusing, and I'll just guess what I think the animals are:
1) Southern White Rhino
2) Red-shanked Douc
3) ?
4) Ringtail
5) Hildebrandt's Starling (going with that over Shelley's based on number in Europe)

1. South-central Black Rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor)
2. Red-shanked Douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)
3. Elliot's Laughingthrush (Trochalopteron elliotii)
4. Ringtail (Bassariscus astutus)
5. Cape Glossy Starling (Lamprotornis nitens)
Connection: they are all only kept in one collection in Europe.

Considering your challenge had guesses from more than twice as many people as mine this is not exactly surprising!
I'll give it a go:
1. Northern White Rhinoceros, Ceratotherium (simum) cottoni
2. Red-shanked Douc, Pygathrix nemaeus
3. Elliot's Laughingthrush, Trochalopteron elliotii
4. Ring-Tailed Cacomistle, Bassariscus astutus
5. Cape Glossy Starling, Lamprotornis nitens
Connection: Each animal is/was the last of their species in Europe.
The rhinoceros is the odd subspecies.

That is, of course, entirely correct!
1. South-central black rhinoceros (Diceros bicornis minor)
Taken in Frankfurt, the only European zoo that keeps this species.
2. Red-shanked Douc (Pygathrix nemaeus)
Taken in Cologne, the only European zoo that keeps this species.
3. Lawrence Goldfinch (Carduelis lawrencei)
