This week on the Lancaster Online News there was a great article on the study of Hellbenders that Dr. Peter Petokas from Lycoming College has been doing for 6 years. I thought this article would interest our visitors. Be sure to also check out the video.
Pity the poor eastern hellbender. Cool name, bad rap.
This secretive, long-living salamander that can grow to more than to 2 feet long and reach 4-5 pounds, is one of the least-known creatures of its size in Pennsylvania.
