Hellbender Survey

The Eastern Hellbender is the largest salamander in North America, with some adults measuring over two feet long! We are helping Dr. Michael Freake, a scientist from Lee University, monitor hellbender populations in the Smokies. In the summer, students snorkel in the rivers in search of these rather elusive creatures, and then help measure and tag any that are caught for a mark-release-recapture study.
