Animals and continents quiz
Your challenge today is guess the continent or continents in which the following animals may be found in the wild (including where they have been introduced to the wild). Where there is more than one continent I’ve indicated how many in brackets. You get one point for each correct continent – number of guesses for each animal limited to the number of continents indicated. So, 43 points maximum available. For the avoidance of doubt, I am taking the continents to include North America (Canada down to Panama), South America, Europe, Asia, Africa and Australasia - but not including the Arctic or Antarctica. No use of reference material or the internet of course to ensure fair play. Good luck.
REMEMBER - NO POSTS instead you PM me with your guesses any time up to midnight tonight. If possible, please wait until you've completed all the guesses you want to make to avoid too many PMs and to make my job easier. So no hurry and it doesn't matter when you submit the answers because I'll be judging them solely on who has the most correct - and in the event of two or more being level it will be a tie. I hope this is clear and good luck. Tomorrow I’ll post the names of the top entries.
