Evaluate the drafted changes

 * The contribution does a good job explaining environmental temperature variation and clearly indicates the organism’s unique adaptation.
 * The first citation is repeated with a different number the second time, and the second source is about bees (not kangaroos), so it’s possible that Wikipedia generated the source info incorrectly. Fixing the references would make the information presented look more reliable.


 * A short explanation of what adaptation enables the organism to thermoregulate may be helpful.


 * Thermoregulation in mammals is applicable to my topic (the effect of heat waves on meerkats).


 * The information is appropriately placed. A new subheading was needed, and it was added under the correct section.


 * The length is appropriate. No portion of the contribution is unnecessary or off-topic.
 * The contribution is unbiased.
 * The language is neutral.
 * The sources are from academic journals.
 * Two sources were used, as the assignment called for.
 * There are no unsourced statements. The first and second sentences reference the same article, and the second sentence is backed up by the article. However, the first sentence claims that temperatures increase from September through December, but according to the graph it seems that they peak around February. I believe the source for the third sentence is incorrectly cited.
