• New enough, long enough, no copyvios. Hook seems interesting, if a bit randomly chosen. As an alternative hook, I think mentioning that "...110 species are considered "extinct in Japan" on the Japanese Red List" would also be interesting. I do question if the "2020" mention of the red list is necessary, I think the date could be kept out. Article looks good to me, very nicely done.

Hello, thank you, and an ALT as suggested, Maculosae tegmine lyncis (talk) 02:07, 14 May 2021 (UTC)

ALT1 : ... that 110 taxa are classed as extinct on the Japanese Red List, among them the Hokkaido wolf (pictured)?

Thank you! I prefer Alt1 to the original. CaptainEek ^{Edits Ho Cap'n!}⚓ 22:04, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
