Mudpuppy Project Underway News | December 13, 2022 | 0 | by Morgan McCarthy The state of Wisconsin wants to know when people see mudpuppies. Mudpuppies are Wisconsin’s only fully aquatic salamander, and are quite often caught by fishermen looking for other fish. The state’s Department of Natural Resources wants fisherman who catch mudpuppies to take a picture, then release them back into the water. The DNR says the data they get from fishermen will help round-out a study being done on just where mudpuppies live in the state.
