::*{{ping|Yoninah}} Maybe we can change it to a comma, but the examples would be very helpful as "mustelid" is not a common term.

Jaguarundi
- ...
that despite being a member of the cat family, the jaguarundi (pictured) superficially resembles mustelids (such as otters and weasels)?Bellani, G.G. (2020). Felines of the World: Discoveries in Taxonomic Classification and History. London: Academic Press. pp. 223–231. ISBN 978-0-12-816503-4. · Nowak, R.M. (1999). Walker's Mammals of the World (6th ed.). Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. p. 818. ISBN 978-0-8018-5789-8.
Improved to Good Article status by Sainsf (talk). Self-nominated at 17:45, 22 April 2020 (UTC).
It doesn't look anything like an otter or a weasel! Gatoclass (talk) 10:09, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- It doesn't look exactly like them, but has many of their features for sure as the given and many other sources note (especially if you compare this cat and the tayra). Maybe the pictures on Commons can't show this well as they don't show a clear, full body view. This is an interesting fact because this cat looks less like most others in its own family but resembles this other family. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 10:44, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- I haven't looked at the sources yet, but the article nowhere states that this species "superficially resembles mustelids" - all it says is that it has some features in common with them, which is a completely different statement. At the very least, you need to include the hook statement in the article. Update: now I have looked at the sources, and one of them says the cat "is sometimes said to resemble a weasel or otter in external appearance". The resemblance is lost on me, but apparently somebody thinks otherwise. But based on that source, the hook statement is nonetheless an overstatement. I think the hook will work if you add "is said to superficially resemble" or something like that. But you still need to have the same statement in the article. Gatoclass (talk) 11:09, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- I see. The wording was a bit too strong and I should have backed it up with more sources cited inline. I stick to 'similar features' as that is what most sources say, the 'superficial' claim is not that common. I think it should be better now. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 16:35, 23 April 2020 (UTC)
- ALT1: ... that despite being a member of the cat family, the jaguarundi (pictured) has several features in common with mustelids (such as otters and weasels)?
ALT1 is good to go, in my opinion. Psiĥedelisto (talk) 08:26, 15 May 2020 (UTC)

Full review needed, since it never has been done; superseding highly premature tick. BlueMoonset (talk) 04:17, 19 May 2020 (UTC)
Lua error: expandTemplate: template "y" does not exist.
Hi, I came by to promote this. We don't put words in parentheses in hooks. Do you have a source that verifies otters and weasels? Otherwise we'll end the hook at "mustelids". Thanks, Yoninah (talk) 23:48, 26 May 2020 (UTC)
