@Keggbert, you'll be better off finding them at night, hence they are nocturnal. During mating season, however, you can find them during the day as well. The best places to find hellbenders would be in Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Virginia areas in fast-flowing, cold streams. I study hellbenders at Clarion University of Pennsylvania where I'm swapping the skin of hellbenders in the Allegheny Drainage for the fungus chytridiomycosis, which is deadly not only to hellbenders, but to all amphibians.
No! And for two reasons. One, it doesn't live that far north. Pennsylvania is as far north as its range. Two, the water must be clean. Even if it did live in New York, it would have gone extinct decades ago--and that includes the entire state.
I have caught many hellbenders by hand in the East Tennessee rivers. They are notorious for grabbing your fish if you have them on the stringer in the water. Doe River in East Tennessee is literally FULL of hellbenders. We call them water dogs. I had never heard them called hellbenders until I searched for them online. Everyone I know calls them water dogs. They remind me of alligators when captured. In stress, they will spin and writhe like an alligator.
i hope it aint illegal to snatch 1 up to check out yourself cuase me and my friend wer gonna go look for 1 this summer also some kind of gar that would live around here
NatGeo got to replace that guy.He's ridiculous and sounds as if he's just playing.He doesn't take the job seriously.He's like a drug pusher,if you ask me....and KISSING AN ANIMAL IN THE NAME OF SCIENCE?!
Talk about pollutants and the fucking idiot licks it, what a great start to start a bacteria culture to rot the hellbenders head off. Fucking idiot. And he spits in the water I hope he gets hit by a truck.
You're joking, right? You actually believe that human saliva is somehow going to contaminate this creature's habitat? If this animal were that defenseless, it would have gone extinct a long time ago...
I practice science quite often, my partner christina, and i. oh about 4-5 times a day in enclosed environment with some veriables to control a certain part of the male(me)
watch the video about animal abuse..its sad what these poor animals go through....its on my profile. u can add your comment expressing your views.. *** A world gone Mad!!!!!!!! poor animals :( ***
Let me get this straight, he knows that it has toxic slime covering it's body. Yet he LICKS it anyway. Now, just how was this done in the name of science? I think that was just morbid curiousity. YUCK!
doesn't it surprise you that the weather channel founder and morethan 30,000 thousand scientist are suing al gore,( the inconvenient truth guy)for fraud... cmon dude
1970- Oh no, we are going into another ice age...
