 * Comment: To verify the source for the hook (rather than AGF), go to Amazon.com, find the cited book, use the "Look inside" feature, and search for "Pachylemur". It should take you directly to page 172.  If you scroll through the book, you may not be shown that specific page. –  VisionHolder  « talk » 18:32, 5 February 2012 (UTC)

 * ALT1: ... that the name Pachylemur, now used for a type of extinct giant lemur (pictured), was first used as group name of primitive primates once considered intermediate between pachyderms and lemurs?
 * ALT2: ... that Pachylemur (pictured), a type of extinct giant lemur from Madagascar, may have swallowed and dispersed seeds larger than 30 mm in diameter?
 * ALT3: ... that Pachylemur (pictured) was a type of extinct giant lemur most closely related to ruffed lemurs, but three to four times as large?
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Excellent extremely well-sourced and illustrated article. It seems I can not access pages 7 to 226 in the book cited in Amazon though (The Anthropology of Extinction: Essays on Culture and Species Death right?), so I guess I'll just have to AGF. :) -- O BSIDIAN  †  S OUL  21:35, 12 February 2012 (UTC)
