Okay. I've verified all the criteria and this article is an easy pass. I found only only typo issue, all statements are verifiable to reliable sources; It is broad (in my opinion, it covers all the possible questions I may ask about this species) and focused; it is written from a neutral point of view and all the images are from commons, no no copyright issues here. My result: passed. — ΛΧΣ21™ 15:51, 25 October 2012 (UTC)[reply]
