tried writing to
Shwartz or the Zurich museum to get a licence for an image? Or maybe go fair use? Seems like a really obscure topic to write an article on, but if we do, how can you really cover the controversy and not even show any visual representation? Even a drawing of the tail difference perhaps?
250:
I've specified the "records" to those of the
Institute where the specimens reside. No reference says explicitly when they lived (Nowak 1999 says "many years ago"). I suspect that the time they were collected is not recorded, but in the absence of specific references, I'd prefer not to include that in

skins are known, we have no idea what external characteristics may distinguish them (if they are distinct at all). Perhaps it has black and white stripes. However, tail length is the only allegedly diagnostic characteristic that is likely to be visible in a live animal. I don't know who Wild is; the

Article seems deficient in not having any picture of the subject of the article (the skeletons, or a reconstruction of what the animal would look like). I realize this is tough on Wiki to get images...but just stepping back and looking at it from the reader perspective, it is a big gap. Have we

This is more minor, but a map at the end would be helpful. Show location of countries metioned as well as Cupe. Perhaps show the range of the regular potto (is Kupe inside or outside that?) I realize, we can't draw a range map of the pseudopotto, which may not exist, but let's illustrate the

article mentions a number of people, by name, without wikilinks, without explaining who they are or why we should care about their opinions. If I made a statement about the potto or false potto, it shouldn't be included because I know nothing about the subject... so who are Ronald Nowak, Simon
246:
I've added a bunch of "primatologist"s, though a bit grudgingly. Those people's opinions are important (and yours or mine is not) because they published in peer-reviewed journals, as the reference list indicates; I think it diverts attention from the topic of the article to go on about the

The article already says that pottos occur on Mount Kupe. I don't think anything about the false potto's geography is definite enough for a map; its occurrence on Mount Kupe is just an (apparently, unfounded) rumor.

or not. Things are complicated by the fact that there is probably more than one species of true potto. I have covered all sources I could find on it, and the article was improved by a GA review by
Visionholder.

What difference? Showing a picture of a long-tailed false potto and a short-tailed true potto would be misleading, since some pottos actually have longer tails (Sarmiento, 1998). The only published images of
