Both articles have been sufficiently expanded; hook is short enough. Source confirms that the shovelnose feeds in water, but the source for the feeding habits of the blackbelly do not say that it exclusively forages on land (as implied by the hook) ... "Most (97%) black-bellied salamanders forage above the water's edge; as summer progresses, more salamanders forage in the stream away from the bank." Perhaps this slightly tweaked ALT could be used (the blackbelly article would have to be changed as well). Sasata (talk) 08:50, 8 October 2012 (UTC)
