Thanks for posting. I didn't even know what it was, so had to look it up.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_siren The greater siren (Siren lacertina) is an eel-like amphibian. The largest of the sirens and one of the largest amphibians in North America, they measure around 1.5 cm (0.6 in) in length upon hatching and then grow to lengths ranging from 18 to 97 cm (7 to 38 in)...

Thanks for sharing never saw a live one, looks like it was either hungry or trying to burrow. My favorite aquatic amphibian is a Mud puppy.
