... that Littledale's whistling rat can be distinguished from Brants's whistling rat by the pitch and length of the calls it emits?

Article is new enough, and long enough, with multiple sources and appropriate citations. It is neutral and doesn't appear to have any copyright or plagarism issues. However, much of that which is cited to source 4 appears to have come from source 3 instead; the indicated pages in source 4 are about Brants's whistling rat rather than Littleton's. Those citations will need to be corrected before this can run. The hook information is found in the article, and is cited at the end of the paragraph. (If it needs to be directly cited, then that too should be done before the hook is accepted.) MeegsC (talk) 14:50, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@MeegsC: You are right. I seem to have copied the wrong citation when I added more information from the Red List of Mammals of South Africa article. Cwmhiraeth (talk) 20:10, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for fixing the sourcing issue. This one is good to go. MeegsC (talk) 23:14, 21 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]
