An evaluation of known and potential sampling techniques for hellbender, Cryptobranchus alleganiensis.

To conduct a baseline experiment on cryopreservation of Ozark hellbender sperm, we used several concentrations of two different cryoprotectants: 2.5%, 5%, 7.5%, 10%, and 15% Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO), and 2.5%, 5%, 10% Glycerol.

In last year's article "Construction and Use of Artificial Shelters to Supplement Habitat for Hellbenders (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis)" in the Herpetological Review, Briggler and Ackerson noted that biologists had recognized a need to artificially propagate the Hellbenders to preserve/restore the species, and address the cause of their decline.

David Barron's four-yearold raced on soft going over course and distance two outings ago and came up with a three-and-threequarter-length defeat of Hellbender.

North Carolina's Randolph Community College advertising and graphic design students have been working on a project with the North Carolina Zoo to create a costume for the Eastern hellbender salamander to promote education about this species, which is in decline and listed as a Species of Concern.

In the middle of a dark Missouri night, hellbender #10 slowly works its way upstream, the swift, cold current pressing loose skin against its body in wrinkled waves.

Its range may have been similar to that of Cryptobranchus alleganiensis alleganiensis (Hellbender) (Minton 2001), which has some similarities in habitat preference.

The Ozark hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis bishopi), which can reach a length of about 2 feet (0.6 meters), is one of the largest salamanders in the world.

The hellbender (Cryptobranchus alleganiensis) is the largest species of salamander native to North America.

In that instant I realized that my question had answered itself I was looking at a hellbender, one of our continent's largest salamanders.
