Hellbent to Return
The hellbender is a giant, aquatic salamander native to much of the eastern and central US-but it is in deep trouble. Populations across their range have plummeted, but a parntership in southern Indiana has made impressive strides in restoring these amazing giants.
Written, filmed, and edited by Zach Truelock. Animation by John Buffington, and editing assistance provided by Andrew Hoffman.
Thanks to Nick Burgmeier, Shelby Royal, and Dr. Rod Williams for their assistance and dedication to saving this endangered species. Check out ag.purdue.edu/department/extension/hellbender/index.html for more info on this project, and ways you can help.

    This is not the 'Daddy Long Leg" that are the venomous ones, they are talking about the Cellar Spider which is venomous and is also called Daddy Long Leg but can't bite because its fangs are too short.

    Just like many people, I have a fear of snakes. Nonetheless, I live in a fairly rural area (unbelievably, only one hour from New York City!), and we get all kinds of wildlife here: bears, foxes, turtles, turkeys, deer, mice, and snakes. I see a lot of garter snakes during the warm seasons but, although they give me the frights, I know they’re very good for the environment. So I just tell them, “You go your way, and I’ll go mine!” My dogs are very curious when they find them, but they instinctively know to stay away.

    Growing up in Tulsa, we always called them "eyed elaters." I don't really know where the name came from, except perhaps "elateridae" being the family name for click beetles. They were unique, as most of the click beetles in Oklahoma were less than an inch long, and then there was this Jurassic beast, many times larger. It was always a joy to find one.
