I haven't reviewed any GANs for a while (and am now out of the GA cup, it seems), but this seems like a nice one to start with... FunkMonk (talk) 09:07, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
What does the scientific name mean?

I know what "tragus" means (he-goat) but no idea about "oreo".

Could we have scientific names in the cladogram as well?

Done

Nothing on differences between subspecies?

Added.

"and white lips and chin. " and "The underbelly, chin and lips are all white." Redundancy?

Fixed

"The incisors might even get damaged while grooming." I'd add "damaged by the hairs" or some such, the sentence doesn't work well alone.

Done

"include the caracal, eagles, hyaena, jackals, leopard, serval and snakes." Why are some singular and some plural?

Fixed

"to protect it from the eye of predators" From view? Eye seems a bit dramatic...

Yours is more scientific :)

"It is feared to be extinct in Burundi.[1][19]" Doesn't this make more sense unde threats? Why did it go extinct there?

This section describes the distribution, past and present. I feel it is best placed here.

"of which a few have been considered to be independent species" Which?

Depends on the source, I have not seen all so I say "some". Actually it seems most have been treated as independent species at least in Ungulate Taxonomy.

Perhaps state this then? FunkMonk (talk) 20:53, 16 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"at the shoulder. weighs from 8 to" Full stop seems weird here?

Fixed

"might last as long as one of the partners dies." Seems a bit weirdly worded. Until one dies?

Done

Perhaps left align the double image under description so it doens't create a square of white space under the taxobox?

I tried it, but the text appears to stick to the image, which doesn't appear very nice to me.

Glad to meet you again! Now I am as busy as you were last month, I have a heap of GA noms (all taken up in the same week, as luck would have it!) and reviews. Will get to this soon. Sainsf (talk · contribs) 14:05, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

No rush! I have no GA quota to meet, anyway... FunkMonk (talk) 14:15, 13 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
