Speed of 21.7 mph sounds like a conversion from metric raw data

If you convert 10 m/s or 35 km/h, you get 21.7 mph. Have we been demetricated? Lightmouse (talk) 07:46, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Just quoting the source directly. Although I am in favor of demetrification!--Mike Searson (talk) 08:44, 6 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrected conversion assuming 21.7 mph was correct. I saw another reference that quoted 21.5 mph as the top speed. DGERobertson (talk) 20:52, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Claim that ″Although it is heavily hunted it does not appear to be endangered in any of its native territory.″ is unfounded
