Thank you.

Do we need to know longevity of animals?

Thank you!

Since genuses have multiple species, how will we be able to identify their pictures of, say, a species of a map turtle, when they ask for Graptemys?

They do have 4 toes, I use this to separate it from similar looking specimens and then a combination of the other characteristics.
I'm mostly talking about the pictures where the tail (constricted base which can be hard to see anyways) and the toes are not visible.
Ah I see, that would be cruel if they did that. Honestly I am not quite sure, I would hope there is some defining factor in there otherwise this event is pointless, but I will definitely work to find a defining characteristic.

Anyone have any C division tests they can send to me? PM if you can.

By the way, what do they mean by "distribution" of the animal? This may sound like a stupid question, but I'm not entirely sure as to what they mean. Also, what do they mean by "biodiversity"? Thanks!

Distribution=where they are found (like States, countries, etc)

Thank you. The list only mentions genuses as the most specific classification. But for a genus such as Trachemys, there are quite a lot of species, but no general characteristics. What would the test do for that then?
