... that the wildlife of Sudan ranges from desert-adapted species to those suited to swamps and forests?
- ALT1: ... that the wildlife of Sudan includes leopards, giraffes, crocodiles, water hyacinth and the umbrella thorn acacia?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self-nominated at 15:49, 1 March 2023 (UTC). Post-promotion hook changes for this nom will be logged at Template talk:Did you know nominations/Wildlife of Sudan; consider watching this nomination, if it is successful, until the hook appears on the Main Page.[reply]

Nominator @Cwmhiraeth: is not finished but I can review the material here and the nominator can ping me to do a final check. I actually had to look up the definition of wildlife to see if flora was included in the definition... it is. The article has been 5x expanded from 114 characters to 4559 characters; it was nominated within the timeframe. The article is neutral, and uses the correct inline citations. The QPQ is completed. The article appears to be free of copyright violations. There is also a lovely image in the article and it appear to be free, although it is not part of the nomination.

@Bruxton: Thanks for the review. I reckon I have finished for now so perhaps you could take another look. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 13:53, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

approve both hooks, slight preference for ALT1. Bruxton (talk) 21:47, 5 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Euphlyctis species?

@Cwmhiraeth: I couldn't access the source you linked in Google Books, so I couldn't tell what was going on here. As Euphlyctis is a genus rather than a species, it looks like somethings wrong, but I couldn't figure out how to fix it. Thanks, SchreiberBike | ⌨ 00:33, 6 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@SchreiberBike: The book gave a species for which we did not have an article so I linked it to the genus. However the genus article states that it is an Asian genus whereas this article is about Africa, so I think I will just state the species name but remove the link. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:19, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Actually it states that there is one endemic species of frog, the monotypic genus Euphlyctis being endemic to the eastern part of the country. There is some confusion here so I have now removed the genus name entirely. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 09:26, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]

There's lots of confusion in taxonomy. I agree with your solution for now. SchreiberBike | ⌨ 12:55, 7 March 2023 (UTC)[reply]
