At the time this round was originally played, there were 148 countries       and territories covered in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of       national_animals. Now there are only        39 countries included. On the other hand, there are *more* cited sources now       than there were then.              Of the ten questions, the only one which would have both a valid answer       according to the 2014 list and the current Wikipedia article is springbok       (South Africa).              --       Joshua Kreitzer       gromit82@hotmail.com              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
