Another Sunday, so that means another visit to the Buffalo Zoo with a few new species to add:

How Many Toes Am I Holding Up? (2/9):
2. Eastern Black Rhinoceros- Diceros bicornis michaeli

Small But Will Fight (6/10):
6. Canada Lynx- Lynx canadensis

Challenges completed remains 4/29.

 

Hi friends, I am hoping to be of the adding of my points to the full tally. I understand may be some errors but please bear with me (Get it? Like Bears!), it has been tough for me recently and this is how I like to have fun. If there is an issue please do not be mad at me and simply remind me, I am only human.

Alas I am going to show my completed and tallying ones only. Thank you for understanding.

Thank you for bringing that to my attention, Mr. Great Argus. I will make the corrections on my spreadsheet. I appreciate it.

 

@ThylacineAlive Apologies if this has been answered elsewhere in the thread, but I'm a bit confused by this one. Is it at least two zoos, to prevent people from doing it all at one, is it a maximum of two zoos, or is it exactly two zoos?

 

I think it’s “at least two zoos” because the animals required are so common and “ABC” that it isn’t that hard to see them at more than one zoo. It is literally impossible to One zoo wonder this challenge.

 

Ah, so you have to see the same animal twice?

 

I have, but I haven’t listed them yet.

 

No I mean for the challenge. I'm still working on my list and this is just from Henry Vilas.. oh boy

Also, do fish count? Not for the ABC challenge obviously, but in general? This is probably a silly question

 

Fish are animals, therefore they count. If you look in what's already been posted, you'd notice that some of us *have* counted fish in a few of the challenges already, and of course some of the challenges even require a fish or two for completion.

 

Yeah, in hindsight I probably should have known that off the bat. I don't know why I thought there was a possibility they wouldn't be.

 

This interpretation is what I was thinking of.
