Best Answer

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.
