Furcifer angeli, Furcifer balteatus

- Furcifer balteatus )

The hook is not interesting or surprising; lots of animals are endemic to the country in which they are found. Can a better hook be found? Sasata (talk) 21:28, 30 November 2012 (UTC)
- The two articles are different. I have two hooks, each one for each article:
- For Angel's Chameleon: ... that the Angel's Chameleon is a "drably coloured" version of the Panther Chameleon?
- For Rainforest Chameleon: ... that the green-coloured Rainforest Chameleon is endangered?
- Hope it helps. — ΛΧΣ21™ 06:06, 1 December 2012 (UTC)
- The two articles are different. I have two hooks, each one for each article:
The proposed Rainforest Chameleon hook is not adequately supported by the source. Indeed, the first two sentences of the Description section are dubious not only because they start "In some species", which seems to contradict the article being about a single species called Furcifer balteatus. Worse, the sources are pictures without description, making these descriptions creations of the author here, who can have no idea whether these are representative pictures (that is, typical of how the chameleon, which may well change color a lot, looks), and these sites warn that the photographer's identification hasn't actually been confirmed by experts. So we have no secondary reliable source for "green". For the Angel's Chameleon, this description was from an arbitrary photographer rather than from the official description/identification of the species based on a nighttime photograph (rather than its appearance during the day), so I have to wonder how accurate it is. I'm not sure, though, that a "according to amateur photographer John Sullivan, Angel's Chameleon is a "drably coloured" version of the Panther Chameleon?" hook would fly. If there isn't going to be an effort to come up with interesting, accurate hooks—together or apart—for these articles, then we should probably let them go.

- ... that the Rainforest Chameleon is to be highly desirable in the pet trade?
- ... that despite having a natural habitat of forests, the Angel's Chameleon can be found near roads and human habitations?
