Hellbender Salamanders
by Lawton
Today you get to be an expert on Hellbenders! You get to learn a lot about Hellbenders let me tell you a tiny bit of facts before we start.
Adaptations
Hellbenders eyesight is not that good. They have light sensitive cells on there body so they can sense stuff around them because they have bad eyesight. Another adaptation is that they have brown and dark orange skin so they can camouflage. So now the predators can’t find them. Underwater there's these rocks that are slippery so the hellbenders could slip but since they have rough pads like sky zone socks so they don’t slip. Sky zone socks have bits of rubber on them so you won’t slip and fall like the hellbenders rough pads.
Habitat
The Hellbender lives in the rivers on the mountains in Georgia. They live under large rocks that are buried in cold fast flowing streams. The rocks cover them from other animals that want to eat them.
What it eats
The hellbender eats crayfish, fish and sometimes it eats another hellbender, insects, tadpoles including their eggs.
How they're endangered
Trees hold the soil so when the people are cutting down down trees all the soil is loose! So since trees are sometimes near water all the soil falls in the water. But sometimes there's big rocks in the soil so the rocks fall down with the soil and it crashes down and destroys the hellbenders habitat. The hellbenders have nowhere else to live so the predators can get them. Another way that they’re endangered is...Imagine you were a hellbender. Sometimes if there's farmers near you they put fertilizer on plants. When it rains it washes all the fertilizer in the river so it could kill the animals including you!
Conclusion
Now that you learned so much about Hellbenders how about you make a change in the earth.
1.STOP CUTTING DOWN TREES!!!!!
2.STOP USING FERTILIZER!!!!!
Now imagine you were a hellbender and people were cutting down trees and destroying your home so you will DIE!!! Or people using fertilizer and washing it in the river so you will DIE!!! So maybe tell others so they can stop using fertilizer and cutting down trees so we can save the...
