Toothcomb

 * ... that lemurs, lorises, and galagos have a special dental structure called a toothcomb (pictured), which they use to comb their fur during grooming?
 * Reviewed: Melithaea ochracea
 * Comment: If you think the colugo toothcomb illustration would be better, feel free to add it and an alt hook. This topic is so bizarre for most people that we could probably make half a dozen hooks. –  Maky  « talk » 12:21, 10 March 2012 (UTC)

 * Symbol question.svg 5x expansion OK and in time, very nice looking article (and first time I've ever seen a GA here at DYK!). AGF on offline articles. Even though bush babies is linked to Galago, I'm a bit uneasy about using a term that isn't even mentioned in the article - if you're scanning the article and (like me) you don't already know that a galago is a bush baby, you wouldn't find the hook fact.

 * Thanks for the review. The reason I used "bush babies" in the DYK hook is because more people are familiar with that term.  In the article, the mentions are so few that it would only complicate the text... especially when the sources refer to them as galagos.  Anyway, I've changed the hook to read "galagos".  –  Maky  « talk » 18:48, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
 * Pictogram voting keep.svg Thanks for the change, and quick reply - the tweaked hook is fine. All the best, Simon Burchell (talk) 19:11, 11 March 2012 (UTC)
