Close call between South-Africa (mega-fauna, and all other) and Indonesia (orang's, dragons, birdlife).

I think maybe Brazil would be up there. It has two species of freshwater dolphin, boto and riverine tacuxi, three tapirs heaps of monkeys, alot of macaws and other parrots, hummingbirds, manatees, jaguars and loads of small cats and thousands of invertabrate species. It probabley helps that its so big and takes up most of the amazon.

I'd also "bet my money" on East Africa (Kenya, Tanzania) and parts of West Africa, like Cameroon.

Yep, I'll go with Indonesia too.
It's probably the only country on earth that straddles two zoogeographic regions (Oriental and Australasian.) |

Every country with small islands or other homes of endemits would be havily favourited in this poll. Indonesia is a good pick, Eastern/Southern African countries obvious pick, Australia has an unique collection (but with a lack of big mammals/carnivores), Brasil has an unique ecosystem too (and more countries have interesting collections but their animals are not exotic enough for us; eg. US, western countries). I ommited China on purpose.
