Episode 137: Hellacious Hellbenders

Episode 137: Hellacious Hellbenders

This week we travel to North America and learn about one of the largest amphibians in the world, the Hellbender. Amphibians are incredible animals that have adapted and survived for hundreds of millions of years. Sadly, amphibians are one of the most endangered class of animals on the planet. It is estimated up to 41% of all amphibian species are threatened with extinction. Being one of the largest, Hellbenders and the other giant salamanders of the world are also threatened with extinction. These are incredible and ancient animals that you need to know about.
