Legend has it that the large salamander family referred to as the Hellbender, often rested or nested in the hollows of rotting logs. If these logs were placed on a fire the salamander ran out to safety. The impression was that the salamander had been born of the fire, hence the name Hellbender.
The Hellbenders was created in 1967.
The duration of The Hellbenders is 1.5 hours.
They mainly eat crayfish but they can also eat other hellbenders, hellbender eggs, and small fish.
It is fantasy, fiction, a cartoon, not real
Hellbenders are exceptionally large salamanders.
Helbenders are endangered mainly because of pollution. Since so much pollution is dumped and pumped into streams, many hellbenders are dying. Most of the waste that is dumped into rivers is acidic. The acids in the waste are not only harmful to hellbenders, but also to fish, salamanders, and other aquatic animals.
Yes, in mid-November 2011, for the first time ever in captivity, 62 little hellbenders (salamanders) hatched out in Saint Louis Missouri Zoo. 120 more are expected by early December. Rivers there used to support more than 8000 hellbenders, but they were declared endangered in 2011 when fewer than 600 were estimated left. Polluted waters and illegal capture are blamed for their decline. Fully grown, at 5 or 6 years of age, adult hellbenders can be up to 2 feet long (60 centimeters).
you should not hold them without gloves and only for 1 to 2 minutes
Yes, crocodiles, caimans, alligators, gavials, saltwater crocodiles, sea turtles, terapins, hellbenders, and marine iguanas, are some that live today. During the mesozoic era, many reptiles lived in the water, like plesiosaurs, placodonts, mosasaurs, sea turtles, nothosaurs, thalattosuchians ichthyosaurs, and more.

Crayfish and small fish are the main food items consumed by Hellbenders. This diet changes little seasonally. They also eat mollusks, worms, and insects. Specimens have been found containing lamprey, tadpoles, aquatic reptiles, and even one containing a toad and another with a small mammal. Adults will eat their shed outer skin, their own eggs, the eggs of others, and even hatchlings of their own species, along with other adults smaller than them.
