ZooChat Challenge UK 2018

Can I check whether the Colobus (Western guereza) at Twycross is the right one to count in this challenge? Someone else has counted it, but I wanted to check.

Sorry folks! I copy and pasted someone else's list to save me typing it all out, edited out the species I didn't require...and obviously didn't do a complete job! I've edited the list now so should be correct :)

Also just realised I haven't included a couple species from the BCA teaching zoo, but as that is only open on specific days I'm guessing that doesn't count?

I presume not as it probably falls foul of rule four:

"Any severely limited opening or private collections (e.g. Heythrop, WHF, and any similar collections or refuges) don't count for this challenge. Controversial I know, but see previous point and I didn't think it fair to include a handful of days these collections might be open to the public as this might logistically disadvantage a large number of people"
 
Cool, thanks @Shorts thought that was the case :)
