Tapirus kabomani[edit]

(

)

... that though not described as a distinct species until December 2013, Tapirus kabomani, the smallest known species of tapir, was suspected of being a new species by former US president Teddy Roosevelt (pictured), who collected the oldest known specimen 100 years earlier during the Roosevelt–Rondon Scientific Expedition?

(shorter alt1) ... that the smallest species of Tapir, suspected by US president Teddy Roosevelt ~~(pictured)~~, was announced this month?

I have re-referenced the article as it lacked inline cites

(shorter alt2) ... that the smallest species of Tapir announced this month is actually the first new large mammal to be discovered for decades?

This is "in the news" - can we move this through promptly if its not at ITN? Victuallers (talk) 11:43, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

length fine, pity there is no picture, I've fixed the refs and checked the hook fact. Alt requires approval. I believe QPQ may be required. Victuallers (talk) 12:46, 17 December 2013 (UTC)

This was "In The News" which I think means we don't show it again Victuallers (talk) 08:36, 20 December 2013 (UTC)

Yes, good catch! It's currently on the main page so cannot be a DYK due to eligibility criteria 1e. SagaciousPhil - Chat 12:27, 20 December 2013 (UTC)
