	Thanks for playing! Helpful suggestions always appreciated. Animals and geography... great things!

	SPOILER: Sorry that this quiz largely became a name South American countries that aren't Uruguay, but I like to pick unique animals that don't lead us to a massive list of African countries. I had never heard of a kinkajou or guanaco!

	I believe that the guanaco is also native to Bolivia. I don't think they would have leapfrogged from Peru to Chile without a stop along the way! In any case, the Bolivian Pre-Columbian ruin of Tiajuanaco is believed to have been named for the guanaco.

	Ah, I didn't notice! The source actually didn't list Bolivia or Venezuela for the kinkajou either, but I saw the gaps and looked at the map of the range. I figure they overlook some sometimes. I'll check the range map and fix it. (Also, interesting tidbit!)

	Animal quizzes, WOOT WOOT!!! Great addition, but there are some minor inconsistencies, e.g. the spotted mouse deer (aka spotted chevrotain) is also found in India (I've seen with my own eyes!)... you are talking about the Sri Lankan spotted mouse deer which is one of the subspecies of spotted mouse deer. It's quite confusing on IUCN as well because of this species/subspecies problem as often zoos don't pay much attention to the taxonomic level when they describe their animals. That might have been the same problem with the guanaco and kinkajou. Hope I was of help!

	And yeah, you're right about the guanaco in Bolivia. In fact, even though IUCN doesn't have it listed in the range countries, it includes Bolivia later in the 'population' section as having 150-200 guanaco. I guess the folks managing the IUCN website aren't as flawless as I had thought :( Still gotta love that site for animal information though.

	Yes, indianwolf1992, I saw the later mention of Bolivia and used that to bolster my inclusion. I actually originally had India for the mousedeer because Singapore zoo had it, but then IUCN didn't even mention it, so I just took it off. Wouldn't hurt to put it back I suppose! (Yes, IUCN isn't flawless.)
