I find it very sad that an a very average zoo like Shepreth can smash a once great zoo like London for Carnivores!!

So it does count! Was @TheWalrus just trying to lower my total?:p;)
 
Until Thylo pops online to rule on the matter it hasn't been demonstrated to count or not - though I doubt he will allow it :p

Najade is merely counting it because they are the one who wanted to count Dasyurids in the first plac!
 
...and while @ThylacineAlive is at it, if he could give a ruling on Dingo as well because that is one of the few Carnivora I'll be seeing this year.

Why don't you just create an Australasia Challenge instead? I'll bet my limited future total this year that Thylo isn't going to allow marsupials...
 
I thought that over a week would be enough time to make a decision and when that didn't happen...
Allow it, don't allow it, I'm not that invested either way.

I just messaged him just now, he is not allowing marsupials. He’s on a long trip and probably won’t be on himself for a while. He’ll get back to us on dingo.

Edit: Dingo and New Guinea singing dog will both count as Canis dingo for the purposes of this challenge.
