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)
