    Although in my opinion the gallery could be used to back up hunches (ie what species are there to be found in captivity, does a whatever even look like I think it does, has the user ever been to a zoo with which species, but not a straight out seek and find)

    Why did you delete it Moebelle, we hadn't really even had a chance to try. I think those photos were fine.

    And change my vote for 1. to Prehensile-tailed Skink (but I can't verify cause I can't see it anymore!)

    absolutely. If I think a species is something then I'll check it in Google Images, and I'll also check sites like Zootierliste to see if there are any captive in Europe for example. I personally almost never actually use the gallery though because I don't think that's playing fair really.

    I did these because the other ones had some animals that I've never heard of.

    There have been 4 guessed right but as we go along there is now 3 correct. For the spider, think of a fish.
