== Semi-protected edit request on 20 February 2024 ==

{{edit semi-protected|Hippopotamus|answered=yes}}
I sent a request email the Museum of Osteology in Oklahoma, asking how many bones does their skeleton on display have because I couldn’t find that information anywhere online and if theirs was a complete model. I got a replay back from their Director of Museum Operations & Education confirming that yes their’s was complete and that it was counted to have 219 bones. Thought this might be helpful and here is there information to fact check.

:That is a useful place to start, but Misplaced Pages requires information to be available in reliable and independent publicastions. Perhaps you could persuade the Director to publish a scientific note on the skeleton of the Hippopotamus that could then be used here as a source?
