- Comment: To verify the source for the hook (rather than AGF), go to Amazon.com, find the cited book, use the "Look inside" feature, and search for "Pachylemur". It should take you directly to page 172. If you scroll through the book, you may not be shown that specific page. – VisionHolder « talk » 18:32, 5 February 2012 (UTC)
