Article length and expansion verified, no copyright issues that I can see, hook verified by supplied source. The image has a share-a-like Creative Commons license. Nice hook and article, should be of interest to many readers. Someoneanother 02:15, 23 March 2012 (UTC)
- This is not correct, once more, but in a different way. You have highlighted a trait of the species, as if it is unique to the species. It's not. It's a trait of the genus.
- If the New York Times made a mistake on its front page, it would at least carry a correction. As Wikipedia does not correct its errors, let's be strict and treat biology with accuracy.
- Suggested alternative and accurate hook:
- ... that the male common midwife toad (pictured), like all members of the midwife toad genus, Alytes, carries his eggs around with him until they hatch?

- I am unable to confirm or deny that this trait is applicable to the whole genus as my sources specifically referred to the common midwife toad, Alytes obstetricans. My original hook is supported by the article and its sources, the alternative hook is not. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:02, 24 March 2012 (UTC)
