I think it would be great to include Mustelids and Squirrels.

From a competitive standpoint, that would be awful for the USA - there's only one squirrel species really in zoos here, with natives occasionally turning up briefly at nature centers (they're usually a rehab/release). Europe also has way more mustelids than we do :( You guys already have us beat in just about every category, give us a chance :P

There's already literally hundreds of possible species, with all frogs, crocodilians, penguins, felids, nearly all primates, a significant number of ungulates and scattered rodents, fish and inverts. Just how big and unwieldy do you want it to be?

No, since it isn’t specifically labeled and you don’t know exactly what species you saw.
