Meet the hellbender. Hellbenders are giant salamanders found in fast-flowing rivers and streams. They rarely leave the water and are able to absorb most of the oxygen they need through their skin! They have poor eyesight but the light-sensitive cells that cover their bodies are thought to help them find places to hide. Visit this amazing animal in our new FROGS: Dazzling & Disappearing exhibit inside the Tropical Pacific Gallery. Video by Aquarist Lauren #aquariumofthepacific #hellbender #salama
