    3 have now been guessed completely correctly, and one more has been guessed correctly to genus level. The one who's genus has not yet been guessed correctly is 5.

    Here's a slightly more detailed summary:
    1. From my own collection- species has been guessed correctly
    2. In a UK Zoo- species has been guessed correctly
    3. In the wild- genus has been guessed correctly
    4. In a UK zoo- species has been guessed correctly
    5. From my own collection- has not been guessed correctly

    a clue for 5: it is a north american colubrid, but nobody has guessed anything in the same genus as it.

    Terribly sorry everyone, it seems i managed to misread a guess early on in the game- number 1 has not been guessed correctly! This means Fireplume's original post contains 1 correct answer, not 2.

    Summary of Guesses:
    1. African fat-tailed gecko, Frilled Dragon, Leopard Gecko (not guessed correctly)

    2. Sitatunga, Chinese water deer, Nyala, Bushbuck (Guessed Correctly)

    3. Blue Peafowl, Ring-necked Pheasant, Silver Pheasant, either Northern or Southern Ground Hornbill, Carrion Crow, Jackdaw, Hooded Crow (genus has been guessed correctly)

    4. Dalmatian Pelican, Muscovy Duck (Guessed Correctly)

    5. Grey Ratsnake, Western Foxsnake, Eastern Ratsnake, Leopard Snake, False Water Cobra, Emory's Ratsnake (not guessed correctly)

    Well that's annoying. :p I hope some other members will join the game and help get it running again!

    I'll have a second try!

    1. Merrem's Madagascar Swift (Oplurus cyclurus
    2. Nyala
    3. Common Raven
    4. Dalmatian Pelican
    5. Prairie Kingsnake (Lampropeltis calligaster)

    EDIT: When I originally posted this I didn't have anything for number 1, I have since added something, just on the slight chance it is correct!

    A slight improvement, on 2/5. I agree, some more players would be nice :p
    1 and 5 have still not been guessed correctly.

    Number One could be an Australian species like a thick-tailed gecko or knob-tailed gecko?
