What kinda critter is this. Where do they live. Wonder what they eat. Is it a good thing to see one. Unscramble this and hold on they are jumpers. RONAPT

Never actually seen one Mike - we didn't have these where I grew up, just mudpuppies, which is an entirely different critter.

Hello,
A Hellbender salamander. See them around fresh water streams. Good large mouth bass / redfish and flounder in estuarys and ponds...I think.
