Finding TONS of Hellbenders While SNORKELING!

[@vireogilvus]

That looks like a completely magical way to spend a day. Kudos, and thanks for taking us along!

Wondering where you've been, bud!! I am convinced that you put the most effort and production into your herping videos (I'd wager $$$ you'd agree) and this is certainly no exception here!! One cool side note albeit a bit off centered weird......that one quick clip about 1:20 into this cool video of you walking out on that ledge reminds me precisely of that one scene from the ancient movie "Sergeant York" starring the great Gary Cooper. The actual Sgt. York did grow up there but the one section of movie where the actor Cooper hangs with his beloved pet dog to ponder going into WW I and killing is proper.........looks like it was shot right there! This was one of my dad's favorite movies and I can see why. Keep em coming buddy!! Jim C.

I saw one in a Pisgah National Forest creek when I was 9. I’ll never forget it.

My absolute favorite amphibian, never seen one in the wild, awesome find.

[@WildLife_Perspective]

Man your channel is underrated! Your editing is awesome. What a unique species of Salamander is the hellbender.

[@elderherper-statesman4733]

Great video man!! You never forget your first bender--my experience seeing them in North Carolina back in 2019 was magical. Keep turning out the videos; I wish I had your editing skills--this is exemplary work!

[@TheSalamanderWilds]

Why am I just seeing this video now? I have to get out to these places that you go to. I'd love to encounter a hellbender. I'm sure it was an incredible experience.
