    I would have to agree with AnaheimZoo. # 1 looks like a chinese alligator. The blunt snout makes it obvious now. Are you saying that the number 2 is correct or I got two correct.

    they must have been a good selection of photos zoogiraffe, seeing as only two of them were identified correctly by those playing that round!! (nanoboy with black-headed python and European otter by Pacarana)

    Oh! so it wasn't the gator. Looks like I need to brush up on my crocadilians. ;)

    Well since I haven't posted pictures on this site I can't really go next, haha. So nanoboy can go next.

    Yeah, pacarana, you don't have to have any pictures up in the gallery in order to upload a photo. None of mine have been posted in the gallery, either! :p
