Celebrate the salamander! Meet the eastern hellbender salamander who is native to Appalachia, can grow to over 15 inches long in adulthood, and breathes through its skin! This rare, strange creature depends on clean water in the Cumberland River basin, just like us. Photo credit to Brian Gratwicke, sourced from the Creative Commons.
