	A very fun, interesting, and unique quiz that requires more than just guessing European nations (there are none) and makes you learn.

	Interesting and fun, but I think the title should be "Countries with most species". Madagascar and Papua New Guinea are surely among the most diverse countries on Earth, but they are not on the list because of their realatively small territory. I don't think that USA has a more diverse mammal life than Colombia because of that extra species. The USA is many times bigger than Colombia...

	You also might want to mention in the game note exactly what statistic is being measured and cited (i.e., number of known species in 2004).

	@ nadivereb: Biodiversity isn't measured by unit area but by number of species. Hence larger countries, which tend to support a wider variety of habitats for animals and plants, generally feature higher biodiversity than smaller countries with more uniform climate.
