Good quiz. I believe that I have spotted an error in the S. American section. The island of Trinidad (the main island of Trinidad and Tobago, not the Brazilian Trinidad) is considered part of the continent - and not part of N. America - owing both to its geographical position and to the nature of its indigenous flora and fauna. So, it ought to be on the list.

Thank you, I've looked into it and decided that for the purposes of this quiz, Trinidad makes sense to be considered South American
