Option 1

 * African Spurred Tortoise
 * Content seems to be accurate and neutral. Very short and missing critical pieces of information.  Needs major improvements and updates sources.  The lead does not cover what the content of the article is and it needs more content than just the species name.  The page needs more imagery such as maps and pictures.  The content itself is broken down into sections, but there could be more sections and details are needed in the current sections as well.  On the talk page it is identified as a priority, but there has been no work on the page recently.

Option 2

 * Beluga Sturgeon
 * The content that the article has seems to be very good, but it is lacking in content. It needs a lot more detail and research.  It seems to be neutral and has relatively good sources.  Some could be updated, but it is fine the way that it is.

Option 3

 * Red panda
 * The article is very well written. It includes pictures, maps, diagrams, and even videos.  It has lots of up to date sources.  This article covers the whole life cycle and all things relating to the panda.

Option 4

 * Peregrine Falcon
 * This article is very sophisticated. It is well written and it includes tons of imagery.  The citations that it uses are exceptional and it is very politically neutral.

Option 5

 * Javan Rhinoceros
 * The article has very good content and is politically neutral. There could be more content added to it.  All the article needs is to update the status of the rhino in captivity and how it is kept there since it only lives in captivity now.  The sources could also be updated.
