A fact from Near Eastern fire salamander appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 20 March 2013 ( check views). The text of the entry was as follows: Did you know... that the larvae of the Middle-Eastern salamander Arouss Al Ayn (pictured) are often cannibalistic? A record of the entry may be seen at Wikipedia:Recent additions/2013/March.

I found the above mentioned article as a stub and expanded it in two days from Stub to a what you see now as a C class. I would like to nominate this article for the DYK, but would like to ask Project Reptiles and Amphibians group for feedback and/or support in my decision. Will love to receive any suggestion. I'm thanking the whole project in advance!-- Mishae ( talk) 05:51, 26 February 2013 (UTC) reply
