I am writing from location that has limited musical choices. If you didn't already, go on and hit play.Imagine how happy I was when I found this gem. More than likely I am responsible for getting it here in the first place. Anyway ...This is the infamous Snot Otter.
That's 3/4 to a pound of salamander. Slippery weird looking thing. Honestly, I like their other name, 'Hellbender'. From Wiki;*The hellbender has gotten the nicknames "devil dog" and "Allegheny alligator" because the giant ugly salamander is often encountered by surprised fishermen, under rocks or on the end of a baited line. Folklore claims that hellbenders smear fishing lines with slime, drive game fish away, and inflict a poisonous bite, but, in fact, apart from the (non-poisonous) bite and toxin (a very small amount, but do not touch your eyes after that) on its skin, hellbenders are harmless. If Hellbenders live in a stream, it shows that it is in excellent quality.*Harmless! Not if your a crayfish. The Hellbender gets to its large size because it likes to eat, and crawdads are on the menu. Truthfully, the damn thing is prehistoric. Time has stood still for these efficient predators. Great evolutionary design that stuck. Take a look at the alligator, an even more efficient killing machine.My goal this summer is to get 1 picture of a wild Hellbender. If I am lucky, maybe I'll even get to touch a 'Snot Otter'. I'll tell you what, if you don't want to get beat up in comments, your homework is to bring one fact about the *hagfish* to the table.I know most of you will start at Wiki. So to save you the trouble, here is the link.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hagfish
