    And with that, this thread is now complete - barring updates where unrepresented families can have photographs added into the thread, as may occur from time to time.

    For instance, along with tonight's posts I have updated the previous post pertaining to the anomalures, to reflect the fact that photos of a species belonging to this family - unrepresented in the Zoochat gallery when i initially posted about them - have subsequently been uploaded by @Giant Eland .
