Salamander Eating Habits (videos)

"Most amphibians are visual feeders and the red-legged salamander is no exception. The movement of prey stimulates the salamander's predatory response and once honed in on, the prey item has little chance of escape. As you'll see in this first video, the eyes can do double duty, at least in large-eyed species like the red-backed salamander."
