    I've added both of these lists. Let me know if I've entered anything incorrectly.

    Ah that’s amazing thank you!
    Looks good to me, only slight tweaks I would suggest are certain species could go to the sub specific level - green monkey (sabaeus), black crowned cranes are the west African subspecies. On the other hand I’m not 100% the African lions in the Kumasi zoo are west Africans.

    Awesome job though!

    I have just remembered Kumasi holds domestic rabbits actually if that’s worth adding.

    Great! I've added the rabbit and the crane and monkey subspecies, and requested that the non-subspecific versions get unlinked (it may take them a while, as I know there's a backlog for that, so in the meantime they will show as a double).

    For the lions at Kumasi, is the better option "Lion (No subspecies-status) (Panthera leo)", or something else? (They've got several lion options, so I'm not sure which one best fits in this local context).

    Ah thank you. Yeah, I would go non-sub specific for the lions!
