Indiana is home to America's largest salamander, called the Hellbender. It is only found in one Indiana river - the Blue River in Harrison County. Come and learn about this amazing aquatic animal, what makes it special, and what you can do to keep its habitat clean. This hands-on program will cover its adaptations, how water pollution affects it, and how amphibians have changed over geological time using a life-size model of Icthyostega, the oldest amphibian in the fossil record. Meets in the Picnic Area. 1 hour.
