  • I recommend the first alternative hook, above the other two. Sourcing is not an issue for any of the three suggestions but the interest factor, in my opinion, was highest for the fact about a deadly fungal disease affecting the bats. After a GA review, this probably goes without saying but I could not find any copyright concerns with the images or text, and the article is well-written. The QPQ was completed prior to my review.TheGracefulSlick (talk) 04:22, 17 November 2017 (UTC)
