Wow! Nicely done, and I have never seen an SVG collage like this! Despite only getting 2 (sad), I had great fun guessing numerous random animals just to see if there was a chance. Nominated! A great 100th quiz from you, @cathlete! :)

And the two that are already filled in green are the two that were given (see the table under the SVG). Freebies!!
