Love the article! There are some things you might want to fix though. I'm going to list them in order and just remember that I am only trying to help. In the description part there is a sentence that needs to be grammatically corrected. It's the sentence having, "compared to the rest of the it's body." I would also insert an "of" in that same section containing the sentence, "The length Anderson's gerbil is." In the Habitat and Distribution section, add "the" to the sentence, "occupy sandy dunes." You have a lot of "This gerbil, and this species" being said. You may want to use the actual name of your mammal in some sentences to keep reminding the reader what they are looking at. You have a great list of references but do not forget that you need to have about 5 or more links to other articles. You can do this by going to a word you want to link and typing in [[. A box will appear and you can type in the link you want. I would do this for the species, families and words that most people will not recognize without looking it up. If you would like, you could also place a picture up of the gerbil. Great article though!!--Sports&Coffee733 (talk) 22:39, 4 December 2016 (UTC)Reply
