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 [1],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 [2]). 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)[reply]

Typo?[edit]

"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)[reply]

Jellyfish[edit]

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)[reply]

External links modified[edit]

Hello fellow Wikipedians,

I have just added archive links to one external link on Projectile use by living systems. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Added archive https://web.archive.org/20090418130032/http://www.independent.co.uk:80/news/science/chimpanzee-planned-stone-attacks-on--zoo-visitors-1641018.html to http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/chimpanzee-planned-stone-attacks-on--zoo-visitors-1641018.html

When you have finished reviewing my changes, please set the checked parameter below to true to let others know.

Incorrect move[edit]

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)[reply]

Cone snails[edit]

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)[reply]
