   Just a note on the accuracy of the Wikipedia article as it was in January   
   2014. 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).
