Similar to my other islands quiz, generally tried to have parity with the animals on each quiz. I left Woolly Mammoths off as while they did hold out on Wrangel Island until fairly recently, they are I feel more associated with the mainland. I left the Kauai O'Oo off as it is more associated with its beautifully haunting calls, not its physical appearance. To compensate I added the broad billed parrot, a species that coexisted with the dodo, and the Choiseul pigeon, a wildly vibrantly colored pigeon species that is only known from a handful of specimens all collected on the same date.
