Talk:Projectile use by non-human organisms

Untitled
Maxorz:  "The plethodontid salamander, Ensatina eschscholtzii can squirt venom from the base of its tail at an attacker, aiming for the eyes. The venom jets can reach 2 m, and a direct hit is said to cause extreme pain and temporary blindness in humans"

- The validity of this claim has been challenged by the writer of the blog from which this statement was quoted ,and I have not been able to find any more reliable source. (Apparently the Guinness records, which was were he got his information from, had mixed up the Ensatina with the Diplodactylus gecko, which does squirt some fluids from its tail ). I don't know if this should be fixed or left as it is, I don't have much experience with wikipedia and how the community works, so I'd rather ask. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Maxorz (talk • contribs) 23:23, 10 June 2010 (UTC)

Typo?
"In chameleons, the tongue contacts against a tapered hyoid bone, eventually slipping off and projecting forward at very high speed."

Should that say 'contracts'? 131.111.185.68 (talk) 20:08, 18 May 2011 (UTC)

Jellyfish
Need to add stinging jellyfish information for fullness. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2001:420:4487:1300:CD4:160C:C565:D456 (talk) 12:59, 14 June 2022 (UTC)

Incorrect move
Why was the page moved to "Projectile use by animals" while it has a large section on plants and fungi? IMHO, a much better move would be "Projectile use by organisms", if it needed to move at all. HCA (talk) 16:59, 6 July 2016 (UTC)

Cone snails
Could anyone please tell me if the harpoon system of cone snails would qualify as tethered projectiles?--Thylacine24 (talk) 13:00, 14 February 2021 (UTC)
