Asia has a ton of megafauna as A, it is huge, with a ton of different climates, and B, there are a ton of islands allowing for a ton of island populations of species that diverge just enough to be considered separate.

As far as missing animals go, I was unable to find pictures for 4 species of pig, and at least one antelope species. I also am very likely to have missed at least a couple of giant softshell turtles, but I was unable to find a good list of them by size, so it is unlikely I will be able to fix this.

At the moment, I have yet to really work with this to get typeins to work. At some point in the next 24 hours, I will go back and fix this.
