Funny, I added a Flickr photo to this article years ago, that's how I noticed you had nominated it... Seems you're going into new directions with the latest nominations? FunkMonk (talk) 17:02, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That dumb Legobot takes ages to let me know who takes up reviews! Funny I came to know you had grabbed this when I saw your contribs. Smaller mammals seems to be a pitiably neglected field, and the countless stubs can be easily improved. So I try to create GAs from this field as well, a bit change as well.Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:17, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Perhaps add this illustration?[1] The photos are a bit obscured...

OK, let's add this as a new image. I couldn't find this just then... Sainsf (talk · contribs) 17:25, 2 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

"In another similar revision, the bushy-tailed opossum was placed in its own subfamily, Glironiinae" You mention the year of other revisions, why not this one?

Done.

What is the difference between the subspecies? I see there is some clinal differences mentioned.

I'm afraid not, very little info on these opossums (yet this is one of the best known of them!)

Does it have a Prehensile tail? If so, link?

Yeah, missed it.

Perhaps give a brief overview of the evolution of opposums? The fact that it is a marsupial could be stressed.

I have not researched on that yet, opossums are a quite large order. I will spam bits on species articles when I finally work on the Opossum article, it would be easier to understand once I understand the species. Said "in the marsupial order Didelphimorphia".

No more to add!

This must be the shortest review I have had from you! Sainsf (talk · contribs) 08:50, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a pretty short article as well... I guess it is easy to be comprehensive, when little has been written about the subject! Anyway, I'll now pass it. FunkMonk (talk) 11:52, 4 June 2016 (UTC)[reply]
