3rd one is right! Hippos.

But no.2 was a trick one... I said 'safer than in India'. The Bengal Tiger project in South Africa hasnt been too succesful, not much breeding is there? No, this one is one that is over-multiplying in South Africa!

9th one is wrong! Another tricky one. Try again, hint = "longest" crocodilian, not largest.

I think that the Male hippos are more dominate than the Females.
I love Ethiopian Wolves! They are the greatest!

Nope, Panda, it isn't the Nile croc... its the Gharial incredibly! They arent large, but they are LONG, most 7 meters, Salties are normally 6-7, so you could count them as right though too.

Thats right EWOlf, hippo males dominate over the females. So which females dominate over the males out of those 4?

So far questions left unanswered... (I've made it easier by removing one wrong option from each)
(1) Which of these has females that are larger and dominate over the males?
a. Spotted Hyena
b. Uganda Kob
c. Ethiopian Wolf

(2) This Asian animal has been succesfully reintroduced into South Africa where it is probably safer than in India.
a. Bengal Florican
b. Himalayan Tahr
c. Golden Jackal

(3) The largest population of mountain gorillas in the World is in...
a. Virunga NP, Zaire
b. Volcans Gorilla NP, Rwanda
c. Bwindi NP, Uganda

(4) Which of these animals was listed as vulenrable before 2005 but is now considered endangered by the IUCN?
a. Polar Bear
b. Southern Elephant Seal
c. American Black Bear

(6) Which is the only extinct subspecies of Black Rhino?
a. Rwandan Black Rhino
b. West African Black Rhino
c. South-western Black Rhino

(7) Which is the only state in Australia that has cassowaries?
a. New South Wales
b. Northern Territory
c. Queensland

(8) What is the estimated Florida Panther population?
a. Less than 50
b. 50 to 70
c. 70 to 80

Should be easier now! Keep trying!

I should know, I love rhinos.

4 must be Polar Bear, because the other 2 are low risk

I think 2 is not Himilayan Thar, because they wouldn't like the south african habitats.

Kodiak you are probably either very very well-informed or in the IUCN... both correct!
The West African Black Rhino sadly did go extinct earlier this year.
And the Polar Bear has been listed under Red Listed threatened species now, along with hippos.

Panda, you are wrong! Believe it or not, Himalayan Tahrs thrive in South Africa, in the Cape area! Table Mountain is at a high altitude you know.

So the remaining questions..
(1) Which of these has females that are larger and dominate over the males?
a. Spotted Hyena
b. Uganda Kob
c. Ethiopian Wolf

(2) The largest population of mountain gorillas in the World is in...
a. Virunga NP, Zaire
b. Volcans Gorilla NP, Rwanda
c. Bwindi NP, Uganda

(3) Which is the only state in Australia that has cassowaries?
a. New South Wales
b. Northern Territory
c. Queensland

(4) What is the estimated Florida Panther population?
a. Less than 50
b. 50 to 70
c. 70 to 80
