I didn't have any particular species in mind, but I should have made them plural in that case.

I think 'grass snake' on its own usually means Natrix natrix, although I didn't list any grass snake so I'm not sure why I was quoted there.

Sorry @Okapipako that was my mistake. I meant to quote @Scottish Wildcat post.

 

[Scottish Wildcat]

I was referring to Natrix Natrix, yes.

Marine Boneless Fish - Clown Triggerfish

You have somewhat confusing concept of the naming of fish groups... What you call "boneless fishes" are meant to be bony fishes, and "bony fishes" are meant to be cartilaginous fishes.

Insect - Orchid Mantis

This category alone is bigger than all the remaining categories together tough of course not wrong

Orcas are dolphins, not whales. Don't let their other common name (killer whale) fool you.

 

[Varanus]

Dolphins are a kind of toothed whale.

 

[Dassie rat]

I accept that killer whales/orcas are often placed in the dolphin family and that dolphins are whales. I also accept that lemurs are prosimians and that musk deer are not deer. I have tried to keep the categories proposed by the first Zoochatters to list their favourite animals. I have thought about changing some. There are only 3 species of elephants, but if I place elephants in afrotheres, it will mean that an elephant will win that category. Similarly, categories like 'insects' could contain hundreds of species, but few Zoochatters have chosen the same species twice.
