Amphibians Quick Quizz

[Amphibian]

Unfortunately I didn't get to the Expo this weekend and as KZN is busy being washed away by some pretty serious rain very little else is getting done. Sad as tomorrow is the first day of the KZN Crayfish season.

So in the interest of staying sane I have put together this short quiz for those of you who are in the same predicament.

There are 8 sets of gnashers pictured below see if you can identify who they belong to in order of 1-8:
NB* These are all animals who's range occurs in or enters into Southern Africa

Thanks. Very cool Quiz Amphibian. You know, just because you said that you will find some soon.

Is number 2 N.nigricollis or N.nigricincta woodi?

[Matt Robinson]

Reading Amphibians post again. He said these are species that enter southern africa, so if that was a clue for NO. 2 then i should have gone with N.nigricollis. He also said he was not sure.
