Hellbender Salamander

Close-up of a Eastern Hellbender Salamander on some rocks

The Eastern Hellbender Salamander is North America's largest salamander, growing up to over two feet long. It " breathes" by absorbing oxygen from the water through its skin. Because of this, it survives where there is cold, clear, swift-running water. Human impacts have diminished Hellbender habitat, resulting in decreased numbers in western Maryland and Pennsylvania streams.
