Columbian?

yes, very good! Was on a work trip to Banff, Alberta and snapped this pic outside of our hotel :)

Welcome to the game, Tim!

Halichoeres

Thanks! Tricky, tricky, at first I thought I had to restrict myself to the Great Basin...

Not the best photo in the world, but should be good enough for an ID:



If there are 3 wrong guesses I'll give location.

Isidro

Hmmm.... Lets's try with family first. Teiidae?

Newt

Is the location in the Dutch Antilles, perchance?

Halichoeres

You guys are good! Yes to both questions.

Beetle guy

Cnemidophorus arubensis?
To beetle or not to beetle.

Halichoeres

Correct! I've recently been in Aruba. Sounds like Newt strongly suspected this species as well.

Newt

There are a few similarly-patterned whiptails in that archipelago, I wasn't sure which it was.

AnimalToyForum

I'll start us off again... :))



Newt

Oof...looks like a hypogean asellid of some description. I'll take a stab in the dark  ::)  and say Bat Cave isopod, Caecidotea macropoda.

Sorry @Newt, I missed your reply. You were right, the last picture was a Proasellus valdensis (an asellid isopod). I'll kick us of again with a vertebrate...

Bird of Paradise of some species?

AnimalToyForum

Easy if you know it. ;)

Correct, the long-wattled umbrellabird. What a weird creature. Your turn to post a mystery species, @Isidro :)

there is no way to quantify such a claim LOL  8) C:-) :P

Isidro

Oh, I didn't knew that the one that gives the ID must post next photo. Or maybe I knew and forgot it completely :P

hmmm, tricky! Is this the whole animal or just a part?


Advicot

Some sort of sea slug, a nudibranch? 
Don't I take long uploading photos!
