The animal that we’re going to be talking about today is a large amphibian found in freshwater. They have some pretty cool adaptations that help them survive in the wild, but they’re also in need of our help because their populations are declining. Alex talks with Nick Burgmeier, the Extension Wildlife Specialist at Purdue University, who teaches us all about them. So get ready to hop into some rivers and streams, because we’re talking about hellbenders.
