    I can only hazard a guess at #1 - crocodile (probably salt water).

    Will let you have that one zg - first person to get the six in a post [that was quick]

    #3 is E. anthonyi and not E. tricolor, but will let off with that one as I don't know myself if the common name still applies :p

    And Nanoboy - hyena will be more cat like than dog like, it's a feliform :p

    Nope,right family in both cases for 3 and 4 but not the ones I'm looking for.

    As for number 1 seeing as the species you list is one of only 3 species of Croc I haven't seen,its no again.

    Ok, I will swoop in and claim #6 then. I didn't even open the photo until now because I thought it was going to be an insect. :eek: I didn't want to give an answer like "baby ostrich". :p

    Anyway, thanks for pointing it out: #6 is indeed a black headed python.

    I'll guess that #1 is a dwarf crocodile.

    We have a couple that are correct and a few that are very close,and for some reason number 2 is causing problems as I would say nobody is even close.

    No, not a steenbok or klipspringer, guys. Think more on the lines of goat.

    I'm sitting this round (and maybe a few other rounds) out, like Chlidonias, and will offer up some hints if I can.
