General: Article is new enough and long enough
Policy: Article is sourced, neutral, and free of copyright problems
Hook: Hook has been verified by provided inline citation
QPQ: None required.

Overall: Well-written, well-sourced article. Good to go. I did consider whether the hook wasa too dry. I think it's just about ok but if the nominator wanted to have another look at it and express it in a hookier way, I would support that (e.g. replace "mortality" with "death"). By the way, the nominator says it's his penultimate free nom without QPQ - by my count it's their last as it will be their 5th nom. DeCausa (talk) 13:34, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

DeCausa, sure, replacing "mortality" with "death" is fine. I admit it's a little weak still, but I wanted to avoid making any generalisations, as the article itself covers a very large region, which most of the sources only focus on specific locations within. As for the other thing you mentioned, I'm a little confused; this should only be my fourth nom. An anonymous username, not my real name (talk) 21:33, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
@An anonymous username, not my real name: The ones I can see are Alaska marmot, Somali pigeon, White-lipped peccary, and Irreligion in Malaysia, making this your 5th. Is that not right? DeCausa (talk) 21:46, 9 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]
