Just a suggestion: since we're asking for volunteers, perhaps some people could volunteer to host the pictures on the What kind is it? (http://www.iidb.org/vbb/showthread.php?s=&threadid=49793) thread, and search for new ones of the relevant species that have disappeared. Every time I go back to that thread, it's always my bloody pictures that have been lost. Here are the list of animals/species from that thread in no real order:
legless lizard
echidna
platypus (missing)
short tailed shrew Blarina brevicauda
caecilians
biota ;)
tenrec
Pseudopanthera macularia (missing)
rock hyrax, Procavia capensis and others
amphisbaena
mudskipper
okapii
sawfish
Goodfellow's Tree Kangaroo, Dendrolagus goodfellowi
fossa (missing)
solenodon
Rufous rat kangaroo Aepyprymnus rufescens
colugo
lesser Malay mouse chevrotain (aka mouse deer) (missing)
Those nasty cellular things
Euglena
Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Trichoplax adhaerens (Phylum: Placoza)
barbary sheep
geep
hares, rabbits, cottontails

Shells
bivalve mollusc (protostomes)
brachiopod (deuterostomes)
Vultures & pseuds

Monarch butterfly + caterpillar (anyone have the moth or other butterfly that looks exactly like monarchs?)
Collembola
Bryozoans
Bilby Macrotis lagotis lagotis and Macrotis lagotis sagitta
velvet worm
racoon dog
I'd like to add (eventually):
aye aye (note its finger)
bush-baby (aaaaaaawwwwwwwww-factor)
the extremely large "bat kind"
the even bigger "fish kind"
the "mushroom kind"
the slug and snail kind (sea slugs are cool!)
the "crustacean kind"
So would someone be happy to make a permanent home for the thread, and perhaps host the pictures? Can we compile this into individual posts according to morphologically similarity and post the "what kind is it?" stumper? Pretty please?
