    1 Pampas cat?
    2 Goeldi's monkey (unfair because the photo is slightly overexposed ;))
    There are alternatives possible for the second.

    Should there be a 24 hour guessing rule?

    I think he/she was correct. I reckon #3 is Basiliscus plumifrons known as the plumed or green basilsk. But of course we could both be wrong :)

    So we're thinking:

    1. Geoffroy's Cat
    2. Goeldi's Monkey
    3. This really looks like a Plumed/Emerald Basilisk - B. plumifrons (but if so BeardsleyZooFan's guess would have been correct, surely? That's an alternative name for this species.)
    4. Southern Ground Hornbill

    Sorry, 1. should have been Large-spotted Genet. Got confused there!

    Crap haha my apologies, I wasn't aware there were multiple names for a Plumed Basilisk (I went off of the zoo signs: one has Plumed the other had Green). So we have all correct so far: Large-spotted Genet, Goeldi's Monkey, Plumed Basilisk, and Southern Ground Hornbill.

    BZF guessed two of the four so he has the edge and the win. Of course I would be the one to screw it up

    Seems like it since BZF hasn't answered. Even though that is probably my fault.

    Knowing BeardsleyZooFan as a Zoochat member, I guarantee he will be back to post in time.
