#Hellbender larvae have hatched! Wild nests established within our artificial nest boxes will be revisited in the spring to assess survival of overwintering larvae. Good luck to these snot otter pups! Viorel Popescu OU Biological Sciences WesternPAConservancy @fishandboat National Fish and Wildlife Foundation

Here is a short video we filmed about the work Defenders of Wildlife is doing to help hellbenders in the wild! Hellbenders are the largest amphibian in the Western Hemisphere and are in trouble across their native range. youtu.be/9hNmzHJonOc

#Hellbenders have semi-permeable skin, meaning they are particularly susceptible to poor water. Road run-off, oil spills and #fracking waste are dangerous for aquatic ecosystems, both for these animals and for communities who depend on them for water bit.ly/HellbentFilm

Matt Kaunert 100's of artificial nest boxes are paying off big time. Lots of nests and eggs, guarded mostly by small males. Some weird eggs too (twins) Check out the bites on the tail; they fight each other big time! This NEVER gets old! BobcatsDiscover @PARCorg

“I got involved because I went to a film festival and met a bunch of really wonderful #conservation-minded filmmakers. One of [them] happened to be a former #hellbender biologist,” said Roth. “That’s how we found out about Grant Township.” via The Standard-Journal ow.ly/uW1J50NzuaI
