ZooChat Challenge Global 2021 - Tracker

This could possibly be the final update of the year! That is, unless someone comes in with a huge haul in the next few days .

Anywho, I don't think it's worth a "current standings" post, as the new year is only a few days away. I'll just post the results on the first of January.

I made a 10 minute detour off the m25 today on the way home from visiting relatives, which has added a few. I will leave @Brum sweating for a while on how many of the possible species I saw whilst I look up the Latin names!!

Only the Alert : "pipaluk replied to the thread ZooChat Challenge Global 2021. There may be more posts after this." is good enough

I'm guessing at least two if you've been where I think you have, and one of them would be a lifer for me as well!

Barleylands by any chance?

Yeah, my heart stopped for a second or two, not gonna lie!

I haven't had the chance to do the full update, but the third was sugar glider which I saw.

The 4th, long eared hedgehog....... which I didn't!
So congratulations mate, you have the top UK score!

And was it worth the extortionate fee for the species there?

So congratulations mate, you have the top UK score!

Many thanks mate, and to you as well for being the UK European Challenge winner! I'll be along to that thread to congratulate you properly when it's definitely confirmed!

It was only £7.25 today, which to see the four-eyed opossum and tailess tenrec wasn't too bad

Can't complain at that, shame it really is too far from mine to justify a daytrip! And opossums (in general, not just this species) aren't exactly known for the longevity or self-sustainability in captivity so I am genuinely jealous as hell!

Not that it makes much difference but your list for me doesn't include Egyptian Fruit Bat which I listed for Five Sisters in the same post as the Edinburgh ones (Koala).
