I'm new to the group, so my apologies if this is old news. There is a great site with short movies of feeding in 14 different salamanders spread over a wide range of families. These are clips from research work, so there is a scale grid behind the beast and information on the speed (usually in fractions of a second) that the clip represents. For some species there are also spectacular color photos of the tongue fully extended. The URL is:

Included is a video of the salamander with the longest tongue (both absolutely and relative to body size)and (on the other end of the spectrum) }a Cryptobranchus suction feeding.
