    If the species is a frog, I'll also guess Amazon milk frog, Morelet's tree frog and Splendid leaf frog.

    The last one has been guessed before and the others are also incorrect.

    Is it the Chinese gliding tree frog or the coronated tree frog?

    My goodness I'm so silly I've only just seen that I missed a comment by TLD with the right answer! The animal in question was the tomato frog well done Dave you can now go!

    Here goes:

    A feature belonging to Malta or Indonesia not known to be sanguivorous, against it's nature

    Neither answer is correct, but I'd like the logic behind each of your guesses so I can tell you if you are thinking along the correct lines :)

    Well sanguivorous means to feed on blood and it almost looks as if the dives in question have got a stain from eating something bloody or drinking a blood red drink hence my guess to it, lint got to the one species before me so I guessed the other seeing as Chester has the two.

    Both portions of my clue are relevant, so guesses based on a single word will be flawed.

    The bloody was part of the reasoning, but if I am not mistaken the Maltese and Indonesian flag are both red and white, so I was looking for an animal that had both colors ;)

    Philippine red-vented cockatoo; the specific name haematopygus means blood rumped although, of course, the bird is not sanguivorous, and (as "lintworm" has already pointed out) the flags of both Malta and Indonesia are red and white.

    I like your reasoning, but it isn't correct.

    If no one has got the right answer by the time I get back from the Bartlett AGM tomorrow night, by the way, I shall give another clue. I will, however, make a slight clarification - the fact that the flags of Malta and Indonesia are both red and white is actually something I hadn't considered, and as such these colours aren't connected to the answer.

    Pity, given the fact I have several zoo guides to pass onto you :( if your usual partner in crime is attending I will give them to him.

    No he is not going. I could have gone by train but decided against it as my mum is still not well.

    Unfortunately I was already in London and laden down with guidebooks when you posted that :p never mind - I'll get them to you both in the fullness of time!

    Back on topic, and as promised, another clue for the game:

    The latter portion of the first clue *could* have read Vegetarian, not vampiric

    The species I keep coming back to is Green Crested Lizard, aka Bornean Bloodsucker - but I can't work out where Malta (or vegetarianism) fit in if so.

    my initial thought was Bloodsucker too, but I don't know the Chester species by that name so I figured it wouldn't be that. Also Zootierliste only has a Chinese species for Chester.
