"Snot otter," a "devil dog," or a "mud devil" are all nicknames for the largest salamander in North America---the Hellbender.

Hellbenders are dying for unknown reasons but some pioneering researchers at the Nashville Zoo are trying to change that. Wild Side Guide Alan Griggs shows us how experts from around the world are trying to save one of the most unique aquatic animals on earth. From show 3009.
