From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The trinity alps giant salamander is a giant salamander that is supposed to live in the Trinity Alps however there has been no proof that it exists and is a cryptid. It is also probaly extinct. It was reported in the 1800s and has not been reported frequently since the early 1900s.
A member of the Giant Salamander family (Cryptobranchidae), known as the Hellbender is found in the eastern United States, and in fact the Cryptobranchid family may have had its origins in North America.[1]
