How to approach it
Work from size classes instead of from memory of famous animals. Sketch the handful of mammalian orders in which adults commonly weigh under a few hundred grams, then walk each order's family list and pull one or two names per family. Field-guide indexes, national species checklists and museum collection catalogues are the richest sources, because they supply the long descriptive names that casual players never reach. Build a long list rather than a short one: quantity matters here, so aim for twenty or thirty candidates before you start judging them. Where a species has several common names, submit the most formal one. Finally, keep an eye on spelling, since hyphenated and transliterated forms are usually accepted.
Get a hint
Start from body mass rather than from familiarity: list the mammalian orders in which adults routinely weigh less than a few hundred grams, then work downward through them.
A little more
Harvest names from regional mammal checklists and museum species lists; long compound common names built from a place plus a body feature are a strong signal of a valid, rarely given entry.
One step further
Chase the oddities too: species known from a single mountain range, a cave survey or a recent taxonomic revision often carry the highest value, and hyphenated or transliterated forms are accepted.

Why these answers count
Almost every entry in the reveal lands in the same high band, which tells you the puzzle rewards reach rather than precision: 6,485 of the 6,514 recorded answers cleared sixty points, and 6,295 of those sat at eighty-five. That middle tier is where competent, well-read answers live — the long descriptive species names that fill a museum checklist, such as Abert's Squirrel or Aba Horseshoe Bat, both worth eighty-five. The hundred-point pair sit apart because they are nearly impossible to arrive at by brainstorming: a single-species family described from a very limited range, and a small animal whose spine is famously reinforced, each rewarding whoever had read up on a taxonomic curiosity. Only 188 answers fell to sixty, presumably the everyday small mammals most players produce first. The lesson is that obscurity, not correctness, moves the score: a household name is valid but cheap, while a name almost nobody else can recall pays the maximum.
