Sphinx, here.

Welcome back losers, I'm ready to lead you astray on our next nature walk.

If you're new, I will be allowing for only 4 Critter Picks this trek.
The list of critters to see is above.
If you have played before, you may choose 4 new critters OR keep your old list.

*So far, I believe some of you may have ended up with more in the end, but because of changing you've possibly diminshed your chances by forgoing original critter picks.
Therefore, and without divulging strategies, those who came in earlier stood to have an advantage by picking 8 animals on their list.
With the introduction of the new walks, 2 of those choices have been removed each time. So, those showing up on Friday only got 6 and those for Sunday only 4. I dare say by Tuesday there will only be 2 picks allowed.
Conversely, there is a way of acheiving MORE than your original maximum... by viewing more critters per trek.
For instance, start with 8, see 5 of them. Next walk pick 6 more and potentially see 5 more of those, then pick 4... Giving you 18 critter choices with at least 10 non-sphinx sphincters seared into your corneas.
Still, if you start with 8 and see 2, you still have 6 on your list. The same as the picks for new peeps. The odds would favor that your remaining critters will be more suseptible for seeing.
Same thing goes for those who didn't see anything, you enter the next trek with 8 critters versus 6.
While this is very nearly entering into the MontyHall Paradox territory, I should end it there by saying... So far, not so good, losers.
Let's get those peepers ready!

Your decision will be...

To see the wildlife, do you want go UP OR DOWN?

In the interest of keeping things tidy for you...
The following list does NOT take into consideration anyone's "seen" animals. For those totals see the Wildlife Sightings post.
