The picture on the taxobox is not a shortnose sturgeon
editI emailed USF&WS about this error. Also, could not find the image (one that was on taxobox) at the USF&WS Digital Library website as cited in the Commons license, which means it is invalid anyway. The image is a young lake sturgeon, not a shortnose sturgeon. See the following images so you'll know what a shortnose sturgeon looks like if you've never seen one.[1] The end of their snout does not turn up, rather their snout is short, fat, and round. USF&WS also misidentified another photograph of a large Gulf sturgeon, and labeled it a shortnose sturgeon. [2]. It's preposterous. Atsme☯Consult 04:00, 13 June 2014 (UTC)
---> FROM A DIFFERENT WIKI USER: I am a recreational fisherman on one of the rivers they inhabit and absolutely agree - that fish does not look at ALL like a shortnose. Very misleading. The "real" photograph is correct but the drawn one is absolutely of a different species. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 142.163.93.160 (talk • contribs) 20:11, November 29, 2015
