You are missing an obvious one: homo sapiens. Does your source include wild animals that were monitored? I find it kind of hard to believe that so many marine mammals were studied in captivity...

According to the source, animals only observed in field studies and not manipulated in any way were NOT included. I was surprised by the marine mammal number too. This list is simply meant to be on animal use in experiments under a scientific protocol, not human clinical studies.

Just to update that I expanded the quiz with more answers by splitting up the categories, to explain why the result %s look strange. Hopefully it's a little more interesting to guess now.

I've updated the numbers to those in the 2009 report. The main change from 2008 to 2009 was that the number of fish and frogs reported for use increased a lot.
I also have clarify my previous comment, as the animal use reported in these numbers definitely includes field studies where animals are monitored. Field studies with wildlife are usually minimally invasive, such as with temporary handling or using specialized holding areas. Apologies for any confusion caused by that. D:
