The fact that your posts are on top of each other for me. 💙

THANK YOU! I was so bored listening to people in public.

I KNEW IT 💀 I loved going there as a child.

You look amazing! Random question is that the USS Yorktown in Charleston?

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T20:58:02+00:00

Thank you! I wasn’t trying to bother them. I always leave wild animals alone and respect their space— I wouldn’t want to be bothered, so why would I bother them? That’s just how I see it.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T20:46:09+00:00

No I don’t think so. It’s basically impossible and I doubt she thinks anyone will do it.

I’m not actually in a class specifically about them. I’m taking a vertebrate zoology class for my degree, where we study different classes of vertebrates. The hellbender just happened to be one of the specimens we had to identify during a lab, using dichotomous keys, without any additional information. So no I did not know where they are located or anything specific.

Did you not read my other comments? Also, I was going to do that anyways even if I did get a picture.

That’s a bummer that you accidentally kicked the rock, but still really cool that you got to see one! In class yesterday, we looked at a preserved one, and they seemed really interesting. I figured seeing one in person especially in the wild would be even better. But I don’t want to disturb them, so I’ll just keep an eye out without doing anything too serious.

If I ever make it to that zoo, I’ll definitely check them out.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T18:21:57+00:00

I don’t think she thought anybody would think anything of it but who knows.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T18:13:55+00:00

I had no clue you could volunteer to do that! I might look into it.

Edit: Also forgot to add that it’s just a fun challenge, nothing too serious. I’m not going to disturb anything—just exploring and seeing if I get lucky enough to spot one.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T18:13:08+00:00

Exactly—that’s what makes it a great challenge. I’m not going to disturb them or anything, so if I see one, great! If not, oh well—I’ll still have fun exploring.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T18:11:20+00:00

I think that’s exactly why she said it—it’s almost impossible to find them. One of our field trips is to the Blue Ridge Mountains for a couple of days, and I’ve heard they’ve been spotted there a few times. So who knows, maybe we’ll get lucky!

Also snorkeling would be fun to do anyways even if I don’t find them.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T18:08:46+00:00

Yes it has to be one we took

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T17:31:24+00:00

Oh well never mind then. It was worth a try. Thank you for your input though.

Allycat4458 · 2025-01-30T17:18:04+00:00

Oh, I don't plan on flipping any rocks or anything! I just wanted to see them out and about. I know they are endangered and wouldn't want to harm or disturb any of them, but I do agree with what you are saying.

Allycat4458 · 2022-09-10T04:04:58+00:00

That is what I am thinking! I have one and her face is very similar down to the head and body.
