Review

Category:History of Portugal: lots to remove there
Template:Regions of Portugal: statistical (NUTS3) subregions and intercommunal entities are confused; they are not the same in all regions, and should be sublisted separately in each region: intermunicipal entities are sometimes larger and split by subregions (e.g. the Metropolitan Area of Lisbon has two subregions), some intercommunal entities are containing only parts of subregions. All subregions should be listed explicitly and not assume they are only intermunicipal entities (which accessorily are not statistic subdivisions but real administrative entities, so they should be listed below, probably using a smaller font: we can safely eliminate the subgrouping by type of intermunicipal entity from this box).

Webbed front feet? also Subspecies

Latest comment: 8 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion

The article seems to imply that only the back paws on the desman are webbed. Are not its front paws webbed too? It looks like they are on video and pictures http://www.arkive.org/pyrenean-desman/galemys-pyrenaicus/video-00.html This video at about 1:10 for example.

Also the subspecies in the map aren't explained in the text.
