Saving America’s Largest Salamander – The Hellbender

November 15 @ 1:00 pm 2:00 pm

A large, brown, spotted salamander with a broad, flat head sits underwater among rocks, with its reflection visible on the water’s surface above it.

Indiana is home to America’s largest salamander, called the Hellbender. It is only found in one Indiana river – the Blue River in Harrison County. Come and learn about this amazing aquatic animal, what makes it special, and what you can do to keep its habitat clean. This hands-on program will cover its adaptations, how water pollution affects it, and how amphibians have changed over geological time using a life-size model of Ichthyostega, the oldest amphibian in the fossil record.  Program free.
