Endangered hellbender halts Ohio roadwork

A rare, endangered eastern hellbender salamander recently halted a road construction project in eastern Ohio when it was found at an active work site. The discovery led to a two-day work stoppage to safely capture and relocate the salamander, which was handed over to the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium as part of ongoing conservation efforts. The species, the largest amphibian in North America, is a key indicator of water quality and has seen successful reintroduction into Ohio waterways through a recovery program involving local zoos and environmental agencies.
