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).
