Christmas Photo Quiz

Yes, I did have Oycteropus in mind: but it's nice to have 13 ZooChatters for the price of 12

 

I think it's time to show the wider views.

So we have:-

1 Maguari (photo taken at Blackbrook)
2 snowleopard (Marwell)
3 kiang (Highland WP)
4 ? (Leighton Moss RSPB)
5 Kakapo (Manchester Museum)
6 Oryteropus/aardvark250 (Regent's Park)

Incidentally, this may be Misha, who unfortunately died in the fire a few days ago.​

7 Magpiegoose (Martin Mere WWT)
8 Mauritius kestrel (Chester) representing Carl Jones
9 Kifaru Bwana (Paignton)
10 SealPup (grey seal at Donna Nook NNR)
11 Pertinax (Paignton)
12 gulogulogulo (Whipsnade)​

So the last piece in the jigsaw is the identity of the ZooChatter represented by image 4. I was particularly pleased when I recalled that I had such a felicitous photo in my files

 

That seal pup doesn't have green hair.

 

I had noticed that.
I didn't realise that your avatar was a portrait (mine is too, of course).

 

Very good!
A crow in a thorn tree seemed ideal for this quiz - but then I had to add the seal pup, otherwise Crowthorne would have been the odd woman out in the group, which would have been confusing. I tried to play fair by giving a hint about looking for extra information in the photo, which also applies to the photo of Pertinax, who has distinctive brow ridges.

I can now also apologise to all the other ZooChatters whose names I could not illustrate. Some of them turn up in the Christmas crossword. bongorob may or may not feature
