Anita, we see you have created a new mission to document the small mammals of Nepal! Please can you change the name to Small Mammals of Nepal so that this is clear - otherwise you may end up with a lot of spottings from around the world. I also see you have a photo of snails as the mission picture & I am assuming this is because we don't yet have any Nepalese small mammals coming up in search. Can I suggest that you do a search on mammals that are indigenous to the area & invite the user to add them to your mission. I did a search in Organisms for you - I searched on mammals, then on Nepal, & this is what comes up - http://www.projectnoah.org/organisms?category=mammal&search=nepal though obviously it includes some unsuitable species like elephants, there are also binturongs & red pandas that are indigenous to Nepal. You could also search on the specific species you know are in the area. Good luck!
How lovely! They visit my garden in Tennessee too!
