Sinaloan mastiff bat

 * ... that the males and females of Sinaloan mastiff bat can't be differentiated on the basis of the breadth of their braincases?

 * Symbol question.svg This is a five-fold expansion and is new enough and long enough. The main source is a journal article that requires subscription. My quibble is with the hook, which is a negative statement that I consider uninteresting. What about:


 * ALT1 ... that male Sinaloan mastiff bats possess scent glands on the throat? Cwmhiraeth (talk) 08:59, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the better hook! no issues with it.--Skr15081997 (talk) 09:13, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
 * I'm not allowed to approve a hook suggested by me. (I think this is a silly rule and slows down the review process. If instead of suggesting a hook, I had written "What about a hook referring to the scent glands?" and you had suggested ALT1, I could have approved it.) Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:42, 31 July 2014 (UTC)

New review needed for the ALT hook.--Skr15081997 (talk) 10:12, 31 July 2014 (UTC)
