5x expanded by Gaff (talk). Self nominated at 04:13, 4 December 2014 (UTC).

Article was expanded 5x in past 5 days; article is long enough and has adequately references with no evidence of plagiarism; hook is appropriate length with off-line source taken in good faith.--Orygun (talk) 05:57, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
I added a reference linked to the 1987 Verts/Carraway paper, with online pdf. It's on page 3 first paragraphy, in the section on behavior. Interestingly, they stay in the burrows until flooding gets to be too much. I tried to fit that into the hook, but wasn't sure just how to do it. Gaff ταλκ 15:41, 6 December 2014 (UTC)
