Trowbridge's shrew

  • ... that Trowbridge's shrew eats more vegetable matter than other shrews in the genus Sorex?
  • Reviewed: Hydnellum ferrugineum
  • Comment: There are other potential hooks, if you have thoughts. No luck finding an image. These elusive small mammals are and not very photogenic. I'll keep an eye out for one eating a carrot.

5x expanded by Gaff (talk). Self nominated at 01:44, 31 December 2014 (UTC).

  • Symbol question.svg Definitely 5x expanded. The expansion was new enough. I did not come across any close paraphrasing. But I had a quick question, when I look at the citation #1 regarding the hook in the article, I could not verify the diets of other Sorexes in the source. How will I be able to verify that fact? Other than that, we'd be good to go. Also, let me know if you find a photograph you'd want to incorporate. Ping me on my TP. Étienne Dolet (talk) 22:44, 2 January 2015 (UTC)
* Template:Ping Odd about the reference. Here is is verbatim, "It feeds on more vegetable matter than other shrews in this genus (Banfield 1974)" off of the IUCN site here. The paper from George here, does not mention it, from what I see having just scanned through. From the IUCN list of refs, the Banfield citation comes from Banfield, A. W. F. 1974. The Mammals of Canada. University of Toronto Press. I would trust the IUCN to have sourced this, but if there is still a concern, we (or I) can find another hook. As far as images go, here is a photo of one of that got snapped in a rat trap up at Commons, but I can't stand to look at it. File:Trowbridge's Shrew (Sorex trowbridgii) observed by bob-dodge.JPG I've looked elsewhere, but there just are not good available, without me emailing/begging for license release. If the article is ever to get to GA status, I may have to do just that... Gaff (talk) 06:41, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
Gaff (talk⧼dot-separator⧽contribs) Hmmm, that's really strange. Alright, we'll have to try another hook. There's so many hook options to choose from the article. I personally liked this one,...that the fur colorings of Trowbridge's shrew change from brown to gray during certain times of the year? Let me know if you like it too. We can propose it as an alt. Please ping me. Étienne Dolet (talk) 10:23, 3 January 2015 (UTC)
