Rhagamys, Sardinian long-eared bat

 * ... that the Sardinian long-eared bat is the only remaining mammal endemic to Sardinia after others, such as Hensel's field mouse, became extinct after the arrival of humans on the island?

 * Symbol voting keep.svg Only the first is an expansion but both are OK for DYK. Only offline source for the extinction and this make paraphrasing a matter of AGF too. Both articles are neutral and informative. I added a new image which may be useful. Ref 1 in the second article refers to page 1497, but the book doesn't have this many pages. Both articles are compliant with DYK rules IMO, so thanks to @Cwmhiraeth Victuallers (talk) 09:11, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the image. In fact, the page number is correct and that reference goes to a Google Books version of Mammal Species of the World, so you can check for close paraphrasing if you want to :-) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 11:13, 31 October 2014 (UTC)
