how much does a hellbender weigh?

Answers:
Hellbenders have a flat body and head, with small eyes. Like all salamanders, they have short legs and thin bodies. Their tails, however, are especially keeled to help propel them through water. They have four toes on their front legs and five on their back ones. Although the Hellbender has working lungs, there is a single gill slit along each side of its neck, resembling fleshy folds. The female rarely grows over 27 inches, and the Male is normally only 22 inches. The longest Hellbender on record is 29 inches. They weigh in at about three to five pounds. Hellbenders are completely aquatic and are nocturnal. They have powerful jaws and can inflict a painful bite. Male Hellbenders are territorial and physically compete for nesting areas. Hellbenders may live up to twenty-nine years in captivity, and follow a normal amphibious life cycle.
