I know why you're asking that. , good spot (I'm going to have to deputise you). Only the Griffon Vulture is allowed, not Rupell's Griffon Vulture (different species) . So Pipaluk, please amend your list next time you post, thank you -I understand the confusion given this year's list is a bit of a mixed bag of specific species and generic ones.
Done! Could it please be specified which scientific name counts though please, as I know very little about birds of prey species / sub-species
I'm sure @Shorts will correct me if i'm wrong, but I interpreted it as only the proper (for want of a better word) griffon vulture, sometimes referred to as the Eurasian griffon, Gyps fulvus, counts.
Indeed -spot on. I'll look at clarifying the more confusing ones at the weekend (gonna be head down at work till then now following the end of Christmas break).

I am taking this UK challenge but as the list copied and pasted so nicely into Excel I wondered if anyone have produced a list like this from Zootierliste (or similar) as I am a great fan of tick lists and that would be very useful to me.
Being trained on the display lawn by a keeper only for around five minutes or so, in the early afternoon. I've seen her being trained there before.
Nope! She’s been moved yes, as her former enclosure was indeed where the gibbons are now. She’s now in one of their offshow enclosures for their show animals surrounding the display lawn, I just got lucky she was being trained when I passed by. If anyone needs witnesses to prove she’s still there, @Giant Panda and @Crowthorne were with me a previous time that she was being trained on the lawn

Ok so I know I've asked this a previous year, but no harm (?!) in asking again. Does Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew count towards this challenge? I know it's not a zoo, but it does house a small collection of captive animals (fish, free-roaming waterfowl, and some free-roaming pest-control lizards in the conservatories), and does have a category on Zoochat. Sorry if that's a cheeky question, but I saw an Indian Peafowl the other lunchtime, and every critter counts
Oi! Crowthorne I've warned you before. No, you can't have it as Kew is not primarily a zoo/animal attraction. I'm sure there's plenty of proper zoos you can seem an Indian Peafowl at without lowering yourself to Royal Botanic Gardens.
Just in case this has any bearing, at the time the book was originally published belangeri was normally still included in glis (it had been separated by some authors at the end of the 1960s but the split didn't really take hold until much later).
Blimey, I remember when these challenges were low maintenance. Good point and, in an arguable abuse of my arbitrator role, I'm going to allow Belanger's -basically because I like a tree shrew.
