    2 out of 5, won't say which two [though I'm sure you probably know], just makes the others guess if I don't say which ones :)

    Gah, just looked again - Margay for number 5?

    Will let someone else have a guess at the others first! Got a good answer for most but No. 1 still bugging me.

    OK - had a flash of inspiration - how's these? (I still think 3 looks like a young suid/tayassuid)

    2 - Common Green Birdwing (Ornithoptera prasinus)
    3 - Common Warthog (Phacochoerus africanus)
    4 - Moon Jelly (Aurelia aurita)
    5 - Margay (Leopardus wiedii)

    You're getting warmer :p Again, won't say which ones are right and which ones are wrong, but the finish line is in sight for you, just keep thinking :p

    No different, but you're on the line :p

    will say now that #3 is wrong, and a clue is that it isn't a suid or peccary. Infact, it's not even atrodactyla :p

    You'll be waiting a while on that one, since after a good amount of bruises to the thumbs you've managed to hit the nail on the head :D

    Well done Maguari, top marks for persistance. [though probably a mistake of mine to use the birdwing after our lengthy discussion about it :p]

    I look forward to seeing what you come out with, the sheer volume of species you've seen and zoos you've visited will certainly make it challenging.

    Well done :)

    Thanks! Got there in the end! Yes - definitely a tactical error on the birdwing. :D

    Sorry for hogging this one but once I was close I couldn't stop!


    Will have a root about - back in 5. ;)


    EDIT: Just realised I typed the birdwing's name as 'prasinus' - for shame! It's O. priamus, of course.

    OK - here's a bunch of 5 for someone else to drive themselves mad over!

    For a bonus Maguari point if you can name it and possibly a slight clue - all of these were taken at the same zoo in 2010.

    Happy guessing!

    EDIT: Ha! Cropped one so closely that it can't be expanded - good luck! :)

    Of course :p - Maybe I would have noticed that if I wasn't caught up in the excitement of the chase :p
