Option 1

 * Animal sexual behavior :
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article explains the definition of sexual behavior of animals for example polygyny, which is one male species has more than one mate. From the article I found it interesting that the male mouse will cause a female mouse to miscarry due to the scent that the male mouse gives off. The article provides many interesting ideas and random facts that are relevant to the topic. The article provided examples on which kinds of relationships different organisms have including different breeding seasons. The article's strength is that it provides interesting information supported by background information. While evaluating the article I believe that the article could have included more information. Another problem that the article is facing is that there are still citations that need to be made. While reading the article I came across a sentence that had unreliable sources. There are many citations and some citations are up to date while others aren't. The article was edited today on September 21st 2023!

Option 2

 * Article title
 * Territory (animal)
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article "Territory (animal)" is a good written article that describes how animals mark their territory. One of the methods is urination. The article describes the different methods animals use when marking their territory as well who they are. An animal with a certain status will mark their territory differently than the other animal. My favorite part of the article is that the article included the audio of the wolves howling for territory. The article doesn't have a lot of citations, it is clear that the article needs more editing and writing due to lack of information. The citations of the article are out of date which as a reader makes me wonder if the information is accurate. The article was recently edited on September 11, 2023.

Option 3

 * Article title
 * Monogamy in animals
 * Article Evaluation
 * The article makes many good points on monogamy with many "facts" present. There are certain parts of the article where the writers could've done better such as adding more pictures. Throughout the article there are only 2 pictures added which makes the article less visually interesting. The article states that monogamy is not common with species therefore, I believe that the article did a good job adding many details on monogamy for example the article explains that when the population of species is low then there will be monogamy. The last time the article was edited was on August 18th 2023 which shows that its not looked into compared to the other two articles that I have critiqued. :
