Article expansion length good, No policy violations found. The hook fact is partly verified, however the reference used only talks about the Sonoran species and states that most heteromyids don't need to drink, which seems to indicate that some species do need to drink.--Kevmin § 11:11, 19 September 2013 (UTC)
