The lead section was very clear and concise. It broke down the topic in a simple manner that someone who has zero knowledge of the topic can understand. The lead section also introduced all of the subtopics included in the article. All of the content covered pertained to the article. The tone and balance came from a neutral point of view. There were no over-the-top scientific claims added to the article. There were over forty references used for this article. The two external links at the end of the article sent you to other informative sources about zoology. The writing was understandable and done in a professional manner. The various sub-topics were broken down into a sensible manner that pertained to zoology. The are only a few images included with this article but they are well captioned and pertain to zoology. On the talk page, the article was rated as B-class. Some of the conversations about the article include copyright violations, vandalization of the article, and additional content. Overall it is a good article for someone who is new to zoology and does not have a strong sense of understanding of it. One improvement that can be made is the addition of images. Another improvement that can be made is more additions of present-day zoological studies and subject matter.
