The Hellbender is a giant salamander, up to 29 inches long, but these creatures aren’t easy to find.
They tend to spend daylight hours under rocks, and on top of that, their numbers—and their habitats—have severely dwindled.
In the above video from Brave Wilderness, Coyote Peterson and herpetologist Tim Brust travel to a secret location on a quest to encounter the super amphibian. Their mission is to collect field data and biometrics to help conservation efforts for the Hellbender, listed as near threatened by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.
