Transcript of “Snot Otter”
I just learned this term this week, snot otter.
Oh, no.
Do I want to know what this is?
I don’t know if I want to know what this is.
Yeah, you want to know what it is.
Okay, what is it?
Of course you want to know what it is.
You’re insatiably curious.
A snot otter is a term for a salamander.
Oh, okay.
Also known as a hellbender and a devil dog and a mud dog or an Allegheny alligator.
I know most of those.
Not the last one or the first one.
Oh, yeah?
But the snot otter makes sense.
Yeah, it doesn’t.
Because they’re mucousy.
Yeah.
Yeah, I think that’s also the reason they call it a hellbender, because it’s got that kind of slimy skin that kind of undulates as it moves.
Oh, really?
Yeah, snot otter.
I just thought they had mystical powers ascribed to them.
That too.
