An Iberian mole

Source: https://www.jstor.org/stable/1383985, "Moles are unique among mammals because all females of the 4 investigated species (Talpa occidentalis [and others]) have ovotestes instead of simply ovaries. ...female moles are thus fertile true hermaphrodites"

Comment: This is a little late, I wanted to take a few days to workshop the hook and then I've been somewhat distracted this past week. If that's not acceptable happy to withdraw this.

While the hook is undoubtedly interesting, with regret the article is ineligible for DYK as it was not nominated within seven days of its 5x expansion starting. "A little late" may be a bit of an understatement: according to DYKcheck, this started on April 5th, but the article was not nominated until the 17th, which is 12 days later. Normally we have a built-in 1-2 day extension if the nominator requests it, but 12 days is already too long unfortunately. If the article can be brought to GA status (I'm not sure if it's feasible considering the length of the article), perhaps it can be renominated.

- GA status is certainly attainable, given the number of hits on one search on one website. Plenty of material. Cremastra _talk 23:29, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
