Even Danny got two subspecies wrong and didn't put the subspecies for horsfield.

Yup going to have to call into question the Tent tortoise

I know I didn't get it right but going back to look at it and looking at it now its definately not a Psammobates tentorius trimeni but a Psammobates tentorius verroxii. Both P. t. tentorius tentorius and P. t. trimeni have black marks on their bridges (between carapace and plastron while P. t. verroxii has a clean bridge. In the picture that tortoise has a very clean bridge so can only be P. t. verroxii.

You are right.. Here's the original image http://www.flickr.com/photos/cowyeow/6475505677/

OK, it was done by using the highly reliable google images search for trimeni but evidently it came up wrong(by the way I didn't get it from that site), it doesn't make any difference to the scores but I will correct the answer now.

Thanks for the first quiz, well done to those who attempted it! I might give the next one a go if it is easier! (Dan can it be about weeds or something?

)
