Giant mouse lemur
- ... that giant mouse lemurs (pictured) were described in both 1867 and 1868, and in both descriptions the same species name, coquereli, was selected independently?
- ALT1:... that in 1989 there were 62 endangered giant mouse lemurs (pictured) in a managed captive breeding program, but despite breeding easily, there were only six left as of 2009?
- ALT2:... that giant mouse lemurs (pictured) are more than three times larger than their close cousins, the mouse lemurs?
- Reviewed: Classic hip-hop
- Comment: I know the etymology section has more interesting material for a hook, but it was already used recently in this successful nomination.

Substantial article on good sources. I find the original hook too specialized, ALT2 a bit boring (just what you expect if an animal is called Giant), and ALT1 interesting but a bit too complicated. Drop the years? Try harder ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 16:02, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- ALT3: ... that there were once 62 endangered giant mouse lemurs (pictured) in a captive breeding program, but despite breeding easily, there were only six left as of 2009?
- ALT4: ... that despite breeding easily in captivity, a managed population of 62 endangered giant mouse lemurs (pictured) had fallen to only six individuals by 2009?
- Template:Ping The 2009 date is kind of important because it has changed since. At least one individual I knew of has died, but I don't have any sources for it. – Maky « talk » 17:32, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
- I believe that the 2009 is important as related to the sources, but we don't have to say it all in the hook, we only have to raise curiosity by saying something factual. I would go for a modified ALT4,
- ALT5: ... that although giant mouse lemurs (pictured) breed easily in captivity, a managed population of 62 individuals of the endangered species fell to only six within twenty years?
all, leaving it to the prep builder, --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:12, 15 January 2015 (UTC)
