Croatian Natural History Museum

Skull of a large cave lion (Panthera leo spelaea)

... that the Croatian Natural History Museum exhibited the remains of a cave lion (skull pictured) from Croatia, which was claimed to be one of the biggest ever found at the time of its excavation?

Comment: ~~I have yet to review another article, I'll write here once I do.~~ Also, this hook is kind of long, I'm obviously open to any improvements or other hooks. Daß Wölf (talk) 18:30, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

After re-reading the rules, it looks like I'm exempt from QPQ. I've only created one other article that was featured on DYK (L.A. Takedown), and I didn't nominate that one. Daß Wölf (talk) 18:37, 8 August 2015 (UTC)

ALT1: ... that the Croatian Natural History Museum exhibited the remains of a cave lion (skull pictured) from Vrtare Male pit cave in Croatia, claimed to be one of the biggest ever found?

Vrtare Male is another new article by me, currently barely meeting criteria (a little above 1,500 characters), but I'll expand it further. Daß Wölf (talk) 19:22, 9 August 2015 (UTC)

Both articles were nominated within days of creation. They are long enough and perfectly sourced. The sources check out. I can verify both hooks. Official sources or scientific journals would be preferable to internet portals, but we work with what we have. Almost all sources are in Serbo-Croatian, so close paraphrasing is unlikely to be an issue. All images in the article are properly licensed, including the one in the hook. The Croatian Natural History Museum article contains lots of potential hooks, however; I was particularly interested in the Adriatic puffin and the Pag crocodiles.

Thanks for the review. You're right about both hooks, I probably should've nominated them separately. Daß Wölf (talk) 17:37, 15 August 2015 (UTC)
