Review (criteria)	Support Good image.--kuvaly (d p) 15:14, 22 March 2010 (UTC)  RequestA competitor is File:Fighting Hippos - Adelaide Zoo.JPG: the ID of the animals is given then, which adds value; tusks are impressive; is a QI. So please precise the ID and refine the categorization. To determine which image better illustrates the behaviour, opinions of contributors having some knowledge in natural sciences is welcome :-) --Myrabella (talk) 17:39, 23 March 2010 (UTC)  InfoThe animals don't look quite extinct. Consulting wikispecies, I'm quite sure they are Hippopotamus amphibius. [1] confirms it. --Ikar.us (talk) 00:43, 24 March 2010 (UTC)  Support Thanks for the ID. Advice taken, the nominated picture seems better because the protagonist on the right directly threatens the throat of his opponent. OK to me, all criteria met. --Myrabella (talk) 10:14, 24 March 2010 (UTC)  Support too. On the other image, they look too friendly. --Ikar.us (talk) 02:36, 25 March 2010 (UTC) Result: 3 support, 0 oppose => promoted. Ikar.us (talk) 11:00, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
