A fact from Wildlife of Zanzibar appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 29 June 2011 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the wildlife of Zanzibar included its own species of leopard (mounted specimen pictured) that survived from the ice age but may now be extinct?

A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2011/June.

wrong heron species in image caption

The respective image shows neither black heron (Egretta ardesiaca) nor great white egret (Ardea alba). The dark bird is a dark morph dimorphic heron (Egretta (garzetta/schistacea) dimorpha). The two white birds are white morph dimorphic herons and/or nominate little egrets (Egretta garzetta garzetta): taxonomy, status and field characters of East African egrets are (as of 2010) still not fully resolved. Therefore it is difficult to write a caption that is both simple and correct.
