Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary[edit]
Grizzled Giant Squirrel
- ... that the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary is home to the grizzled giant squirrel (Ratufa macroura) (pictured), which is in the highly endangered category within Karnataka, India?

Given blurb conflicts with our article on the Grizzled Giant Squirrel. Listed source does indeed state that the grizzled giant squirrel is "highly endangered" but the IUCN Red List places it under "near threatened". The article's prose state's that the squirrel is under this status only within Karnataka, however. The blurb should either reflect the localized nature of this classification, or (in my opinion) a different blurb should be chosen to avoid potentially confusing/conflicting information. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 22:33, 7 January 2016 (UTC)
- Cyclonebiskit Thanks for the review. I have qualified the main hook with "only within Karnataka" as per reference. Also suggesting this ALT1 hook ... that in the Cauvery Wildlife Sanctuary the Grizzled Giant Squirrel (pictured) is under the highly endangered category in Karnataka only but under IUCN Red List as near threatened?Nvvchar. 02:30, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
Tweaked to remove the "only" bit (you'd have to look up specifics on other places to verify "only") and added India to give readers better context, alt blurb is a bit much and takes away focus on the target article so first hook is good to go. ~ Cyclonebiskit (chat) 03:31, 8 January 2016 (UTC)
