Spot-tail shark edit

Spot-tail shark

  • ... that the spot-tail shark (pictured) can produce as many as eight pups after a gestation period of ten months?
  • ALT1 ... that the spot-tail shark (pictured) can produce as many as eight pups, each half a metre long, after a gestation period of ten months?

5x expanded by Cwmhiraeth (talk). Self nominated at 06:02, 8 August 2014 (UTC).

  • More than 5x expanded, done recently enough before nomination, long enough at 2979 characters of prose. Article is neutral and meets citation requirements. I'm satisfied there's no plagiarism as duplication/copyvio detectors throw up only a few matches for standard phrases and the rest are the references. Hook is interesting, cited and of the correct length; I prefer ALT1 personally. Image is public domain and used in article. QPQ done. Good to go. BethNaught (talk) 07:01, 8 August 2014 (UTC)
