Saving the Snot Otters: Humor, Habitat, and Hope for Hellbenders

  • Summary

  • What makes the hellbender North America's most captivating salamander? Join Monni Böhm and guest host/producer Kelly Griese as they unravel this mystery with humor and keen insights. You'll laugh along as we talk about quirky hellbender names and hear from Nick Burgmeier, a wildlife specialist from Purdue University, who gives us the lowdown on these unique amphibians.

    Nick helps us understand the challenges facing these cute-in-their-own-way creatures. From habitat degradation and agricultural runoff, hellbenders face an upstream swim for survival, but powerful partnerships are helping to protect and grow hellbender populations. Learn about the zoos, conservationists, farmers and landowners coming together to ensure a bright future for the "snot otter." We'll also share information about how YOU can contribute to hellbender conservation.
