1
00:00:09,835 --> 00:00:11,141
We
will be heading out
2
00:00:11,272 --> 00:00:13,622
to explore a place that
I consider my childhood
3
00:00:13,752 --> 00:00:17,191
backyard, The Holden Arboretum.
4
00:00:17,321 --> 00:00:20,803
Established in 1931,
this wild place spans
5
00:00:20,933 --> 00:00:23,762
3,600 acres in
Northeastern Ohio,
6
00:00:23,893 --> 00:00:28,637
and is home to a wide variety
of plants and animals.
7
00:00:28,767 --> 00:00:32,206
When I was a kid, I spent my
summers searching this location
8
00:00:32,336 --> 00:00:35,905
for frogs, snakes, and turtles.
9
00:00:36,036 --> 00:00:38,995
So today, I will be taking
a trip down memory lane,
10
00:00:39,126 --> 00:00:41,998
as I lead members of the
Coyote Pack around the grounds
11
00:00:42,129 --> 00:00:43,695
to search for wildlife.
12
00:00:43,826 --> 00:00:45,132
So if I put up these
ears, if I give
13
00:00:45,262 --> 00:00:46,698
the signal to you
guys like this,
14
00:00:46,829 --> 00:00:48,222
it means I've seen something.
Everybody would be--
15
00:00:48,352 --> 00:00:49,875
- How about this?
- Oh, I guess that works too.
16
00:00:50,006 --> 00:00:51,312
You want to do that?
17
00:00:51,442 --> 00:00:52,182
Oh, that kind of looks
a little bit more like--
18
00:00:52,313 --> 00:00:52,878
Looks like a coyote.
19
00:00:53,009 --> 00:00:54,141
I like that.
20
00:00:54,271 --> 00:00:55,055
That's so smart!
What's your name?
21
00:00:55,185 --> 00:00:56,143
- Rigsby.
- Rigsby?
22
00:00:56,273 --> 00:00:57,883
Mhm.
23
00:00:58,014 --> 00:01:00,538
Rigsby decided that this is
going to be the Coyote symbol.
24
00:01:00,669 --> 00:01:01,626
I like it.
25
00:01:01,757 --> 00:01:02,975
Here, give me like a coyote--
26
00:01:03,106 --> 00:01:04,673
boop!
27
00:01:04,803 --> 00:01:07,197
OK, so this will be the Coyote
symbol today, which means,
28
00:01:07,328 --> 00:01:08,981
be quiet, something's been seen.
29
00:01:09,112 --> 00:01:10,722
And that's "be quiet" in like
everybody be quiet
30
00:01:10,853 --> 00:01:11,984
so we can catch an animal.
Sound good?
31
00:01:12,115 --> 00:01:13,421
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
32
00:01:13,551 --> 00:01:14,335
Let's sneak up, then.
You guys got your maps?
33
00:01:14,465 --> 00:01:15,423
Yeah.
34
00:01:15,553 --> 00:01:16,641
Coyote, what are we doing?
35
00:01:16,772 --> 00:01:18,034
I don't want to
hold my map anymore.
36
00:01:18,165 --> 00:01:19,340
All right, so right
now, we are sneaking up
37
00:01:19,470 --> 00:01:21,168
on the Lotus Pond,
which is our first spot
38
00:01:21,298 --> 00:01:23,257
where we're going to actually
start looking for animals.
39
00:01:23,387 --> 00:01:24,519
Everybody's excited.
40
00:01:24,649 --> 00:01:25,955
Now, there are snapping
turtles, snakes,
41
00:01:26,086 --> 00:01:27,391
and frogs that live here.
42
00:01:27,522 --> 00:01:29,741
It's just a matter
of can we catch one.
43
00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:38,141
I just
stepped in goose poop!
44
00:01:38,272 --> 00:01:39,621
I just stepped in poo!
45
00:01:39,751 --> 00:01:41,275
I see a big bull
frog right there.
46
00:01:41,405 --> 00:01:43,233
Where?
47
00:01:43,364 --> 00:01:44,756
Stay back.
48
00:01:44,887 --> 00:01:46,236
You guys want to try
and get that frog?
49
00:01:46,367 --> 00:01:47,194
Yeah.
50
00:01:51,589 --> 00:01:52,503
Oh!
51
00:01:52,634 --> 00:01:53,417
- Did you get it?
- Oh!
52
00:01:53,548 --> 00:01:54,723
Oh!
53
00:01:54,853 --> 00:01:56,028
- Got him.
- He's just a little guy.
54
00:01:56,159 --> 00:01:57,204
Whoa!
55
00:01:57,334 --> 00:01:59,075
Oh, I almost
slipped on the rock.
56
00:01:59,206 --> 00:02:01,382
OK, let's bring him back here
into the shade a little bit.
57
00:02:01,512 --> 00:02:05,473
The good news is we have
caught our first animal.
58
00:02:05,603 --> 00:02:07,779
But he's just a little
tiny frog, right?
59
00:02:07,910 --> 00:02:09,346
We want to see a really
big bullfrog, don't we?
60
00:02:09,477 --> 00:02:10,652
That's the bad news,
61
00:02:10,782 --> 00:02:12,132
What, that it's
a little tiny one?
62
00:02:12,262 --> 00:02:14,177
Well, all frogs are
pretty much created equal.
63
00:02:14,308 --> 00:02:15,265
And he is pretty cute, isn't he?
64
00:02:15,396 --> 00:02:16,701
Yeah.
65
00:02:16,832 --> 00:02:17,746
So you guys know what
kind of frog this is?
66
00:02:17,876 --> 00:02:18,834
Bullfrog!
67
00:02:18,964 --> 00:02:20,401
A bullfrog.
That's right.
68
00:02:20,531 --> 00:02:21,967
That's a good little one.
69
00:02:22,098 --> 00:02:23,795
It's nice to see these
little tiny frogs like this,
70
00:02:23,926 --> 00:02:26,189
because it means the ecosystem
is incredibly healthy,
71
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,670
and the tadpoles are
turning into frogs.
72
00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:31,455
Now, a frog of this size,
he's got a lot of predators
73
00:02:31,586 --> 00:02:32,891
out there.
74
00:02:33,022 --> 00:02:33,892
You guys know what would
eat a frog like this?
75
00:02:34,023 --> 00:02:35,503
Snapping turtles.
76
00:02:35,633 --> 00:02:37,026
Snapping turtle.
Not a coyote, right?
77
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:38,375
- How about a snake?
- Not me.
78
00:02:38,506 --> 00:02:40,160
A snake could eat a
frog like this, yep.
79
00:02:40,290 --> 00:02:42,640
And he's probably thinking
to himself right now, uh oh,
80
00:02:42,771 --> 00:02:44,729
look at all these
Coyote Pack members.
81
00:02:44,860 --> 00:02:46,557
You wouldn't eat
this frog, would you?
82
00:02:46,688 --> 00:02:47,950
You want to pat him?
83
00:02:48,080 --> 00:02:49,734
Just real gently on
his back right there.
84
00:02:49,865 --> 00:02:50,605
No?
- I want to pet him.
85
00:02:50,735 --> 00:02:51,475
You want to pet him?
86
00:02:51,606 --> 00:02:52,868
I want to pet him too.
87
00:02:52,998 --> 00:02:53,825
Just real gently.
88
00:02:53,956 --> 00:02:54,870
I want to pet him.
89
00:02:55,000 --> 00:02:56,393
OK, the back.
90
00:02:56,524 --> 00:02:58,003
There you go.
91
00:02:58,134 --> 00:03:02,878
Now, frogs are totally
safe to catch and pet.
92
00:03:03,008 --> 00:03:04,619
All right, well, hopefully
we'll catch a bigger one,
93
00:03:04,749 --> 00:03:05,837
but this is a good start.
94
00:03:05,968 --> 00:03:07,274
So far, we are one-for-one.
95
00:03:07,404 --> 00:03:08,318
Watch how he swims off.
96
00:03:08,449 --> 00:03:09,232
You guys ready?
97
00:03:09,363 --> 00:03:10,407
Yeah.
98
00:03:10,538 --> 00:03:12,192
One, two, three.
99
00:03:12,322 --> 00:03:13,280
Bye, buddy.
100
00:03:13,410 --> 00:03:14,194
Boop!
101
00:03:14,324 --> 00:03:15,586
Hey, there he is!
102
00:03:15,717 --> 00:03:16,718
Did he swim down and
hide in the leaves?
103
00:03:16,848 --> 00:03:17,893
- Yeah.
- Yep, I saw him.
104
00:03:18,023 --> 00:03:18,807
All right.
105
00:03:18,937 --> 00:03:20,200
Well, we caught a frog.
106
00:03:20,330 --> 00:03:21,592
- Should we go back?
- Let's call it a day!
107
00:03:21,723 --> 00:03:22,941
Well, this is
the part where somebody
108
00:03:23,072 --> 00:03:23,812
should give you a high five.
- Oh, yeah!
109
00:03:23,942 --> 00:03:24,682
Who wants a high five?
110
00:03:24,813 --> 00:03:25,727
Boom, boom, boom, boom!
111
00:03:25,857 --> 00:03:28,860
High fives all the way around!
112
00:03:28,991 --> 00:03:30,427
High fives, high fives.
113
00:03:30,558 --> 00:03:31,776
All right, let's go find
something a little crazy.
114
00:03:31,907 --> 00:03:32,821
Yeah.
115
00:03:44,702 --> 00:03:46,922
He got something.
116
00:03:47,052 --> 00:03:47,792
Whoa!
117
00:03:47,923 --> 00:03:49,011
He got him!
118
00:03:49,141 --> 00:03:50,795
Painted turtle!
119
00:03:50,926 --> 00:03:51,753
Sometimes you
just end up in the right place
120
00:03:51,883 --> 00:03:53,450
at the right time.
121
00:03:53,581 --> 00:03:55,409
That's a pretty good sized
midland painted turtle right
122
00:03:55,539 --> 00:03:56,497
there.
123
00:03:56,627 --> 00:03:57,933
And this time of
day, the turtles
124
00:03:58,063 --> 00:04:00,631
are just basking up on
top of these weed beds
125
00:04:00,762 --> 00:04:01,806
absorbing light.
126
00:04:01,937 --> 00:04:03,765
And I see the back
of the carapace
127
00:04:03,895 --> 00:04:06,333
here, all of that space
right there is kind
128
00:04:06,463 --> 00:04:07,943
of like a solar panel, right?
129
00:04:08,073 --> 00:04:09,814
They're relying on the
sun to heat them up so
130
00:04:09,945 --> 00:04:11,294
that they can go out and hunt.
131
00:04:11,425 --> 00:04:13,383
This turtle does have
some algae on its shell.
132
00:04:13,514 --> 00:04:15,429
Oftentimes, you don't
see painted turtles
133
00:04:15,559 --> 00:04:17,866
with algae on the shells
because they spend so
134
00:04:17,996 --> 00:04:19,520
much time basking in the sun.
135
00:04:19,650 --> 00:04:22,000
The sun kills the algae,
and then their shell
136
00:04:22,131 --> 00:04:23,480
is usually very smooth.
137
00:04:23,611 --> 00:04:25,439
But you, for some reason,
because you probably
138
00:04:25,569 --> 00:04:28,006
live in this real mucky area,
have gotten a lot of algae
139
00:04:28,137 --> 00:04:29,356
on you.
140
00:04:29,486 --> 00:04:30,487
What do you guys want
to name this one?
141
00:04:30,618 --> 00:04:31,401
- I know.
- What?
142
00:04:31,532 --> 00:04:33,011
- Picasso.
- Picasso.
143
00:04:33,142 --> 00:04:34,361
Because he's a painted turtle.
144
00:04:34,491 --> 00:04:35,710
Oh, OK.
145
00:04:35,840 --> 00:04:36,841
You guys want to
go with Picasso?
146
00:04:36,972 --> 00:04:38,539
- Yeah.
- Yeah.
147
00:04:38,669 --> 00:04:39,583
Every once in a while, you
got to give one to Mario,
148
00:04:39,714 --> 00:04:41,324
otherwise he'll cry.
149
00:04:41,455 --> 00:04:42,717
That's
the only one, Mario.
150
00:04:42,847 --> 00:04:44,719
All right, you guys
ready to let Picasso go?
151
00:04:44,849 --> 00:04:46,068
Yeah!
152
00:04:46,198 --> 00:04:47,112
All right, Mark,
you got your shots?
153
00:04:47,243 --> 00:04:48,897
I did.
154
00:04:49,027 --> 00:04:50,377
All right, I'm going to just
put Picasso out here in the--
155
00:04:50,507 --> 00:04:51,769
I want to get that
snapping turtle.
156
00:04:56,774 --> 00:04:57,688
Shh!
157
00:05:07,611 --> 00:05:10,310
I see a snapping turtle.
158
00:05:10,440 --> 00:05:11,223
Certainly do.
159
00:05:11,354 --> 00:05:12,921
OK.
160
00:05:13,051 --> 00:05:14,314
It's 100% a snapping turtle
on the far side of the pond.
161
00:05:14,444 --> 00:05:15,402
You guys can't see it from here.
162
00:05:15,532 --> 00:05:17,360
It's by those green plants.
163
00:05:17,491 --> 00:05:18,274
Man.
164
00:05:18,405 --> 00:05:20,276
Catchable?
165
00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:21,495
Yeah, definitely is.
166
00:05:21,625 --> 00:05:24,672
It's faced-- it's
faced in the wrong--
167
00:05:24,802 --> 00:05:26,108
I mean, there's no
way to make a play
168
00:05:26,238 --> 00:05:27,414
on it when it's up like that.
169
00:05:27,544 --> 00:05:28,719
So we're going to ignore
it for the moment,
170
00:05:28,850 --> 00:05:30,460
but we are going to
go around this side.
171
00:05:30,591 --> 00:05:31,896
The good thing about
where it's positioned
172
00:05:32,027 --> 00:05:33,942
is we're not going to
disturb it on that side,
173
00:05:34,072 --> 00:05:35,378
and there's no people
walking over there.
174
00:05:35,509 --> 00:05:37,380
So right here by
these rocks, there
175
00:05:37,511 --> 00:05:38,903
are a lot of water
snakes, so that's going
176
00:05:39,034 --> 00:05:40,340
to be our immediate target.
177
00:05:40,470 --> 00:05:42,211
Now, good news is that
I see a snapping turtle.
178
00:05:42,342 --> 00:05:43,517
There's potential
for snapping turtles
179
00:05:43,647 --> 00:05:44,953
all throughout this pond.
180
00:05:45,083 --> 00:05:46,302
There's about four of
them that live in here.
181
00:05:46,433 --> 00:05:47,999
The good news is that
we see one, right?
182
00:05:48,130 --> 00:05:49,131
You do not see
a snapping turtle.
183
00:05:49,261 --> 00:05:50,480
I do see a snapping turtle.
184
00:05:50,611 --> 00:05:52,134
100% see a snapping turtle.
185
00:05:52,264 --> 00:05:54,745
What I'm going to do is have
you guys wait right here.
186
00:05:54,876 --> 00:05:56,138
Mario's going to go with me.
187
00:05:56,268 --> 00:05:57,661
And I'm going to sneak
up right by these rocks
188
00:05:57,792 --> 00:05:59,054
here and see if I can
get us a water snake.
189
00:05:59,184 --> 00:06:00,055
Coyote, there's a hawk.
190
00:06:00,185 --> 00:06:01,012
That's a turkey vulture.
191
00:06:10,370 --> 00:06:11,240
Ah!
192
00:06:13,764 --> 00:06:14,635
Ah!
193
00:06:19,988 --> 00:06:21,903
All right, everybody
stay back, everybody stay back.
194
00:06:22,033 --> 00:06:22,817
Ah!
195
00:06:22,947 --> 00:06:23,905
He's biting me!
196
00:06:28,170 --> 00:06:28,910
Oh, gee!
197
00:06:29,040 --> 00:06:30,390
Yes, he did!
198
00:06:30,520 --> 00:06:31,478
Now, everybody--
199
00:06:31,608 --> 00:06:33,175
Stay back.
200
00:06:33,305 --> 00:06:34,698
- this is dangerous, so we're
not going to pet this one.
201
00:06:34,829 --> 00:06:36,004
It's very feisty.
202
00:06:36,134 --> 00:06:38,223
As you can see, I'm
already bleeding.
203
00:06:38,354 --> 00:06:40,487
That is a northern water snake.
204
00:06:40,617 --> 00:06:43,446
You don't normally want to
jump on rocks to catch snakes.
205
00:06:43,577 --> 00:06:46,536
But today, we definitely need
to see the animals, right?
206
00:06:46,667 --> 00:06:47,972
And that didn't take
me long, did it?
207
00:06:48,103 --> 00:06:48,973
Now, let me teach you
guys a little something
208
00:06:49,104 --> 00:06:49,887
about water snakes.
209
00:06:50,018 --> 00:06:51,149
They bite, right?
210
00:06:51,280 --> 00:06:53,151
Now, notice the
pattern of this snake.
211
00:06:53,282 --> 00:06:54,675
The pattern is very distinct.
212
00:06:54,805 --> 00:06:55,893
You see that?
213
00:06:56,024 --> 00:06:57,286
See that speckled patterning?
214
00:06:57,417 --> 00:06:59,157
That kind of looks like
a water moccasin, kind
215
00:06:59,288 --> 00:07:00,681
of looks like a copperhead.
216
00:07:00,811 --> 00:07:03,031
People oftentimes misidentify
the northern water
217
00:07:03,161 --> 00:07:05,337
snake for one of those
venomous species.
218
00:07:05,468 --> 00:07:08,863
However, this is non-venomous,
but they do bite.
219
00:07:08,993 --> 00:07:11,039
Now, why am I bleeding
as much as I am?
220
00:07:11,169 --> 00:07:12,736
It's not because
they have big teeth.
221
00:07:12,867 --> 00:07:15,565
It's because they have an
anticoagulant in their saliva.
222
00:07:15,696 --> 00:07:18,525
Has anybody ever heard
that term, "anticoagulant?"
223
00:07:18,655 --> 00:07:20,483
Basically, it causes
you to bleed a lot,
224
00:07:20,614 --> 00:07:22,267
and the blood
doesn't clot, so it
225
00:07:22,398 --> 00:07:23,704
doesn't kind of stop bleeding.
226
00:07:23,834 --> 00:07:25,096
So this is just going
to keep dripping.
227
00:07:25,227 --> 00:07:26,228
You see that, Mark?
228
00:07:26,358 --> 00:07:27,621
Ew.
229
00:07:27,751 --> 00:07:28,796
Yeah, and you know
what else he's doing?
230
00:07:28,926 --> 00:07:29,797
Ugh!
Oof!
231
00:07:29,927 --> 00:07:30,754
Musking.
232
00:07:30,885 --> 00:07:32,452
No biting, no biting.
233
00:07:32,582 --> 00:07:33,670
He's also musking.
Oh.
234
00:07:33,801 --> 00:07:34,715
Oh!
235
00:07:34,845 --> 00:07:36,325
Oh, he tried to get you there.
236
00:07:36,456 --> 00:07:37,848
A little close to the camera.
237
00:07:37,979 --> 00:07:38,893
All right, you guys ready
to put the snake back--
238
00:07:39,023 --> 00:07:40,547
oh, he's trying to get my nose.
239
00:07:40,677 --> 00:07:41,722
You guys ready to get the
snake back out in the wild?
240
00:07:41,852 --> 00:07:43,071
- Yeah.
- Yeah, he is bitey.
241
00:07:43,201 --> 00:07:44,681
All right, here we go.
242
00:07:44,812 --> 00:07:45,856
I'm going to let him go right
back where he came from.
243
00:07:52,515 --> 00:07:55,779
All right, I'm going
to set him down.
244
00:07:55,910 --> 00:07:56,737
Bye, buddy.
245
00:08:00,001 --> 00:08:01,872
All right, so,
Coyote, what are we doing?
246
00:08:02,003 --> 00:08:04,701
All right, we're scanning
this edge for snapping turtles.
247
00:08:04,832 --> 00:08:07,182
It's dark and shady right
here, so it's really
248
00:08:07,312 --> 00:08:08,923
tough to see into the water.
249
00:08:09,053 --> 00:08:10,359
These geese are moving
out, which is good.
250
00:08:10,490 --> 00:08:11,752
It means it won't scare
the snapping turtle
251
00:08:11,882 --> 00:08:12,927
once we get over there.
252
00:08:13,057 --> 00:08:14,755
If the geese are
acting natural, it
253
00:08:14,885 --> 00:08:17,801
means that the
environment is natural,
254
00:08:17,932 --> 00:08:20,282
and hopefully we
can land a dragon.
255
00:08:20,412 --> 00:08:21,501
Everybody hang out
here in the shade.
256
00:08:21,631 --> 00:08:22,893
Where is he?
257
00:08:23,024 --> 00:08:24,678
The snapping turtle's
off this edge here.
258
00:08:24,808 --> 00:08:27,158
I think he went deeper, but I'm
going to sneak up on this edge
259
00:08:27,289 --> 00:08:28,595
just to see if I see something.
260
00:08:28,725 --> 00:08:30,031
I'm going to move all
along the edge of this.
261
00:08:30,161 --> 00:08:31,685
So you guys stay here with Mark.
262
00:08:31,815 --> 00:08:33,425
Or, Mark, are you
coming with me?
263
00:08:33,556 --> 00:08:34,339
I'm coming with you.
- OK, Mark's coming with me.
264
00:08:34,470 --> 00:08:35,732
Everybody stay right here.
265
00:08:51,269 --> 00:08:52,009
Snapper right there.
266
00:08:52,140 --> 00:08:53,054
Yup.
267
00:08:59,147 --> 00:09:00,235
You got him?
268
00:09:00,365 --> 00:09:01,236
Ah!
269
00:09:05,022 --> 00:09:05,806
Yeah!
270
00:09:09,287 --> 00:09:11,333
Got one!
271
00:09:11,463 --> 00:09:14,684
Oh, that's ol'
Noseless right there.
272
00:09:14,815 --> 00:09:16,991
Man, he almost slipped
out of my hands.
273
00:09:17,121 --> 00:09:18,601
He is so slimy.
274
00:09:18,732 --> 00:09:19,689
Ah!
275
00:09:19,820 --> 00:09:20,647
Woo!
276
00:09:25,303 --> 00:09:27,088
Now, before anybody
gets any closer,
277
00:09:27,218 --> 00:09:28,350
I'm going to set it
down for a second.
278
00:09:29,351 --> 00:09:31,135
Yeah, we got one, right?
279
00:09:31,266 --> 00:09:33,573
Let's not get bitten
by it, especially me.
280
00:09:33,703 --> 00:09:34,922
Now, this is Noseless.
281
00:09:35,052 --> 00:09:36,010
I don't know if you
can see from there,
282
00:09:36,140 --> 00:09:37,794
but he doesn't have a nose.
283
00:09:37,925 --> 00:09:39,230
Something happened to
him early on in life.
284
00:09:39,361 --> 00:09:40,928
Probably fighting
with another turtle.
285
00:09:41,058 --> 00:09:43,365
But as you can see, they're
very, very snappy, right?
286
00:09:43,495 --> 00:09:45,236
So you see where Mark is?
287
00:09:45,367 --> 00:09:47,282
You guys can get to
about where Mark is.
288
00:09:47,412 --> 00:09:49,458
Don't anybody get any
closer, because the turtle's
289
00:09:49,589 --> 00:09:50,981
head is facing that direction.
290
00:09:51,112 --> 00:09:52,200
OK, right there.
291
00:09:52,330 --> 00:09:53,331
Good, good, good, good.
292
00:09:53,462 --> 00:09:54,898
Perfect.
293
00:09:55,029 --> 00:09:56,117
Awesome, guys.
294
00:09:56,247 --> 00:09:58,641
Now, we can pet the
snapping turtle.
295
00:09:58,772 --> 00:10:00,774
At the very end, I
will turn it backwards.
296
00:10:00,904 --> 00:10:04,473
And one at a time, we can
come up and pet its tail, OK?
297
00:10:04,604 --> 00:10:07,607
Now, Noseless is one of the
most consistent common snapping
298
00:10:07,737 --> 00:10:10,566
turtles that I have caught
here at the Holden Arboretum.
299
00:10:10,697 --> 00:10:13,264
Always seems to be hunting
around the edges of Heath Pond.
300
00:10:13,395 --> 00:10:15,919
And I still think you're
incredibly handsome even
301
00:10:16,050 --> 00:10:17,573
though you don't have a
nose because it makes you
302
00:10:17,704 --> 00:10:19,227
very, very unique
looking and it makes
303
00:10:19,357 --> 00:10:20,924
you very easy to identify.
304
00:10:21,055 --> 00:10:24,580
Now-- can we-- just for like
two seconds, can we be calm?
305
00:10:24,711 --> 00:10:25,494
Everybody's here.
306
00:10:25,625 --> 00:10:27,148
They want to see you.
307
00:10:27,278 --> 00:10:29,411
You know we go through this
once a year, once a year.
308
00:10:29,541 --> 00:10:30,847
See, he's smiling
for you guys, but he
309
00:10:30,978 --> 00:10:32,588
would really like to bite me.
310
00:10:32,719 --> 00:10:35,983
So this is a common snapping
turtle of about average size.
311
00:10:36,113 --> 00:10:37,593
For me to catch a
turtle of this size,
312
00:10:37,724 --> 00:10:38,899
I'm really excited about it.
313
00:10:39,029 --> 00:10:40,378
But what would be
even more exciting
314
00:10:40,509 --> 00:10:41,815
is a super enormous turtle.
315
00:10:41,945 --> 00:10:43,207
But this looks pretty
big to you guys, right?
316
00:10:43,338 --> 00:10:44,818
- Yeah.
- That's a pretty big turtle.
317
00:10:44,948 --> 00:10:47,037
Now, can we think of any
predators for a snapping turtle
318
00:10:47,168 --> 00:10:48,648
of this size?
319
00:10:48,778 --> 00:10:51,389
What would you eat a
turtle of this size?
320
00:10:51,520 --> 00:10:52,608
What do you think?
321
00:10:52,739 --> 00:10:53,522
Maybe an alligator
or something.
322
00:10:53,653 --> 00:10:55,132
- Oh, come on.
- Maybe.
323
00:10:55,263 --> 00:10:56,786
But there's no alligator
snapping turtles around here.
324
00:10:56,917 --> 00:10:58,614
The honest answer
is only humans.
325
00:10:58,745 --> 00:11:00,442
Did you guys know that people
make turtle soup sometimes?
326
00:11:01,791 --> 00:11:02,574
Ugh!
327
00:11:02,705 --> 00:11:03,837
No turtle soup for you.
328
00:11:03,967 --> 00:11:04,968
No soup for you, buddy.
329
00:11:05,099 --> 00:11:05,882
Don't worry about it.
330
00:11:06,013 --> 00:11:07,579
You're totally good.
331
00:11:07,710 --> 00:11:09,669
A turtle of this size really
doesn't have any predators.
332
00:11:09,799 --> 00:11:12,367
Now, when they're smaller,
baby common snapping turtles
333
00:11:12,497 --> 00:11:14,064
are just a little
bit bigger than that.
334
00:11:14,195 --> 00:11:15,936
So a turtle of that
size can be eaten
335
00:11:16,066 --> 00:11:19,200
by a bird, or a larger
turtle, or a snake,
336
00:11:19,330 --> 00:11:20,854
or even like a largemouth bass.
337
00:11:20,984 --> 00:11:21,942
You guys know a bass, all right?
338
00:11:22,072 --> 00:11:23,683
Yeah!
339
00:11:23,813 --> 00:11:24,379
All right, Mark, can you kind
of see his tail from there?
340
00:11:24,509 --> 00:11:25,859
Yep.
341
00:11:25,989 --> 00:11:27,121
All right, let me kind
of turn it like that.
342
00:11:27,251 --> 00:11:27,643
You guys see that
dragon-looking tail?
343
00:11:27,774 --> 00:11:29,079
Yeah.
344
00:11:29,210 --> 00:11:30,690
I have to keep a good
eye on the front end.
345
00:11:30,820 --> 00:11:32,648
Now, one thing that I love
about these turtles' tails
346
00:11:32,779 --> 00:11:34,432
is I'm going to kind
of really delicately--
347
00:11:34,563 --> 00:11:36,347
OK, no nose-- Noseless.
348
00:11:36,478 --> 00:11:37,566
Hey, buddy.
349
00:11:37,697 --> 00:11:38,698
I'm going to let
go with that hand.
350
00:11:38,828 --> 00:11:39,873
Don't you try to
spin and bite me.
351
00:11:40,003 --> 00:11:41,831
We're going to
look at your tail.
352
00:11:41,962 --> 00:11:43,528
Check out those ridges.
353
00:11:43,659 --> 00:11:47,924
These are osteoderms, which
are pieces of bone covered
354
00:11:48,055 --> 00:11:50,405
in skin, scale,
and, at this point,
355
00:11:50,535 --> 00:11:52,842
some really gnarly
looking algae.
356
00:11:52,973 --> 00:11:54,148
Look at that.
357
00:11:54,278 --> 00:11:56,933
Looks just like the
tail of a dragon.
358
00:11:57,064 --> 00:11:59,544
Let's look at the plastron
of this snapping turtle.
359
00:11:59,675 --> 00:12:00,632
We're bringing him up.
360
00:12:00,763 --> 00:12:01,895
Take a good look at that, guys.
361
00:12:02,025 --> 00:12:03,070
OK, there we go.
362
00:12:03,200 --> 00:12:04,071
I see you, bud.
I see you.
363
00:12:04,201 --> 00:12:05,028
I see you.
364
00:12:05,159 --> 00:12:06,203
OK, there we go.
365
00:12:06,334 --> 00:12:07,727
All right, you see that?
366
00:12:07,857 --> 00:12:09,598
Now, the plastron of the
common snapping turtle
367
00:12:09,729 --> 00:12:12,296
is much smaller than
other turtle species.
368
00:12:12,427 --> 00:12:14,690
And that's why they
have evolved to have
369
00:12:14,821 --> 00:12:19,956
this very gnarled skin, sharp
claws, and that powerful bite.
370
00:12:20,087 --> 00:12:21,218
Woo!
371
00:12:21,349 --> 00:12:22,742
All right, hold on
one second, guys.
372
00:12:22,872 --> 00:12:23,743
Let's get a little wrap-up
here, and then everybody
373
00:12:23,873 --> 00:12:25,048
can pet Noseless' tail.
374
00:12:25,179 --> 00:12:26,310
How's that sound?
375
00:12:26,441 --> 00:12:27,659
Well, I would
definitely say that that
376
00:12:27,790 --> 00:12:29,357
was one epic adventure.
377
00:12:29,487 --> 00:12:32,099
We caught all sorts of
creatures and in the end,
378
00:12:32,229 --> 00:12:34,710
landed one enormous
common snapping turtle.
379
00:12:34,841 --> 00:12:36,146
I'm Coyote Peterson.
380
00:12:36,277 --> 00:12:37,234
Be brave.
381
00:12:37,365 --> 00:12:38,801
Stay wild!
382
00:12:38,932 --> 00:12:40,629
We'll see you on
the next adventure.
383
00:12:40,760 --> 00:12:42,022
You guys ready to
let this turtle go?
384
00:12:42,152 --> 00:12:43,066
Yeah!
385
00:12:43,197 --> 00:12:44,067
All right!
386
00:12:44,198 --> 00:12:44,981
Say, thanks, Noseless!
387
00:12:45,112 --> 00:12:48,289
Thanks, Noseless!
388
00:12:48,419 --> 00:12:49,377
Bye bye, Noseless.
389
00:12:49,507 --> 00:12:50,421
Bye, Noseless.
390
00:12:57,428 --> 00:13:00,736
What I've got in my hands here
is a baby American alligator.
391
00:13:00,867 --> 00:13:03,130
To my left, a
pretty angry adult.
392
00:13:04,696 --> 00:13:06,089
Now, this baby doesn't
belong to the adult
393
00:13:06,220 --> 00:13:08,135
that you see here next
to me, but it's actually
394
00:13:08,265 --> 00:13:09,527
a rescue from the pet trade.
395
00:13:12,530 --> 00:13:13,618
You hear that?
396
00:13:13,749 --> 00:13:15,533
Yeah, I'm a little
closer than you
397
00:13:15,664 --> 00:13:18,798
probably want to be to a
seven-foot American alligator.
398
00:13:18,928 --> 00:13:21,017
Now, you may see these babies
in your local pet store
399
00:13:21,148 --> 00:13:24,412
and think to yourself, wow,
that would make one cool pet.
400
00:13:24,542 --> 00:13:27,328
But I'll tell you what,
in just a couple of years,
401
00:13:27,458 --> 00:13:31,245
you're going to have this
guy living in your basement.
402
00:13:31,375 --> 00:13:32,986
He's going to lunge.
403
00:13:37,860 --> 00:13:39,514
You hear that hissing?
404
00:13:39,644 --> 00:13:41,472
I'm really close to his
gator hole right now.
405
00:13:41,603 --> 00:13:43,866
And he's basically
saying, back off
406
00:13:43,997 --> 00:13:45,607
and get your little
baby out of here too.
407
00:13:48,479 --> 00:13:49,959
Whoa!
408
00:13:50,090 --> 00:13:50,830
Woo!
409
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,048
Did you guys get that?
410
00:13:52,179 --> 00:13:53,745
Yeah.
411
00:13:53,876 --> 00:13:55,356
Wow.
412
00:13:55,486 --> 00:13:58,011
Yeah, he's basically saying,
this is my turf, Coyote.
413
00:13:58,141 --> 00:14:00,187
You better just keep on moving.
414
00:14:00,317 --> 00:14:02,624
These baby alligators may
start off small and cute,
415
00:14:02,754 --> 00:14:04,974
but you probably want to stick
to something more traditional,
416
00:14:05,105 --> 00:14:05,932
like a hamster.
417
00:14:11,546 --> 00:14:15,637
So one question I
oftentimes get is, does
418
00:14:15,767 --> 00:14:18,683
Coyote Peterson have any pets.
419
00:14:18,814 --> 00:14:20,163
Earlier this year,
I introduced you
420
00:14:20,294 --> 00:14:21,948
guys to my dog, Charlie Bear.
421
00:14:22,078 --> 00:14:24,472
She's a rambunctious
Rhodesian Ridgeback
422
00:14:24,602 --> 00:14:25,734
mixed with a Greyhound.
423
00:14:25,865 --> 00:14:28,171
And I also have a
sulcata tortoise
424
00:14:28,302 --> 00:14:29,999
named Green Bean Sherman.
425
00:14:30,130 --> 00:14:33,220
However, I do have
four temporary pets.
426
00:14:33,350 --> 00:14:35,483
A few baby common
snapping turtles.
427
00:14:35,613 --> 00:14:38,094
Now, a number of years ago
when we were out on the road
428
00:14:38,225 --> 00:14:39,966
doing the "Brave
Adventures" book tour,
429
00:14:40,096 --> 00:14:41,837
I said to a couple of
different audiences
430
00:14:41,968 --> 00:14:43,534
when they would ask
if I have pets, yes.
431
00:14:43,665 --> 00:14:45,275
I have four turtles
that I actually
432
00:14:45,406 --> 00:14:48,452
rescued from a weird
sort of lagoon that
433
00:14:48,583 --> 00:14:51,281
was around a swimming pool,
so they must have hatched
434
00:14:51,412 --> 00:14:54,850
and went into this area that was
not exactly conducive for baby
435
00:14:54,981 --> 00:14:56,243
snapping turtles.
436
00:14:56,373 --> 00:14:58,636
So we rescued them,
and those four turtles
437
00:14:58,767 --> 00:15:01,161
have now grown over the
course of the past two years
438
00:15:01,291 --> 00:15:03,467
into mini dragons.
439
00:15:03,598 --> 00:15:07,167
These two are just the first
two that are big enough
440
00:15:07,297 --> 00:15:09,082
to head off into the wild.
441
00:15:09,212 --> 00:15:12,912
And let me introduce
you to Rock and Atlas,
442
00:15:13,042 --> 00:15:15,784
two of my baby dragons.
443
00:15:15,915 --> 00:15:16,698
Hi, guys.
444
00:15:16,828 --> 00:15:17,742
How are you doing?
445
00:15:17,873 --> 00:15:18,918
Are you excited?
446
00:15:19,048 --> 00:15:20,658
I know.
447
00:15:20,789 --> 00:15:21,790
Right now, they are thinking
to themselves, wait a minute,
448
00:15:21,921 --> 00:15:23,357
I'm not inside my terrarium.
449
00:15:23,487 --> 00:15:24,532
I hear birds.
450
00:15:24,662 --> 00:15:25,837
I hear running water.
451
00:15:25,968 --> 00:15:27,796
I can smell the swamp.
452
00:15:27,927 --> 00:15:29,493
I want to get out
there and hunt.
453
00:15:29,624 --> 00:15:31,321
And don't worry, guys,
in just a few minutes,
454
00:15:31,452 --> 00:15:33,497
we are going to release
you into this protected
455
00:15:33,628 --> 00:15:34,846
wildlife sanctuary.
456
00:15:34,977 --> 00:15:36,065
Now, I'm going to put
one of the turtles
457
00:15:36,196 --> 00:15:38,676
back down into this little tank.
458
00:15:38,807 --> 00:15:40,200
Let's just take a
look for a second
459
00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:41,897
at a baby snapping turtle.
460
00:15:42,028 --> 00:15:45,422
You guys are used to seeing
me catch enormous mud dragons,
461
00:15:45,553 --> 00:15:48,556
turtles that way between
20 and 50 pounds.
462
00:15:48,686 --> 00:15:50,340
And these guys are tiny.
463
00:15:50,471 --> 00:15:52,908
But you will notice that the
design of a baby snapping
464
00:15:53,039 --> 00:15:55,824
turtle is almost
identical to its bigger
465
00:15:55,955 --> 00:15:57,260
brothers and sisters.
466
00:15:57,391 --> 00:15:58,870
Of course, you
have the carapace,
467
00:15:59,001 --> 00:16:00,829
which is the top of the shell.
468
00:16:00,960 --> 00:16:03,963
And then, the plastron, which
is the bottom of the shell,
469
00:16:04,093 --> 00:16:07,053
and which is much lighter in
coloration on a baby turtle.
470
00:16:07,183 --> 00:16:10,099
But then, you've got
that head and that neck.
471
00:16:10,230 --> 00:16:11,971
Look at that big,
long neck stretch out.
472
00:16:12,101 --> 00:16:14,277
And now, are you developing
some aggressive tendencies yet?
473
00:16:14,408 --> 00:16:15,148
Let's see.
474
00:16:15,278 --> 00:16:16,192
You're going to bite?
475
00:16:16,323 --> 00:16:17,367
No, not yet.
476
00:16:17,498 --> 00:16:19,108
Sometimes they do
try to bite me,
477
00:16:19,239 --> 00:16:21,023
and that's exactly
what I want to see,
478
00:16:21,154 --> 00:16:23,678
the turtle taking on
its natural behaviors
479
00:16:23,808 --> 00:16:25,245
even when in captivity.
480
00:16:25,375 --> 00:16:26,768
Now, you may be
asking yourself, well,
481
00:16:26,898 --> 00:16:30,337
Coyote, if you've had
these turtles in captivity
482
00:16:30,467 --> 00:16:32,165
for a couple of
years, how will they
483
00:16:32,295 --> 00:16:33,993
know how to go out and hunt?
484
00:16:34,123 --> 00:16:37,039
Snapping turtles never
lose their instincts
485
00:16:37,170 --> 00:16:38,693
for being reptiles.
486
00:16:38,823 --> 00:16:40,477
So as soon as these turtles
are into the environment,
487
00:16:40,608 --> 00:16:42,175
they're immediately
going to start hunting,
488
00:16:42,305 --> 00:16:44,307
and they're immediately
going to start thriving.
489
00:16:44,438 --> 00:16:47,528
Now, these turtles are two
years of age, but keep in mind,
490
00:16:47,658 --> 00:16:50,661
when a snapping turtle hatches,
it's only about this big.
491
00:16:50,792 --> 00:16:53,273
That's pretty much bite-size,
so anything that comes across it
492
00:16:53,403 --> 00:16:56,058
is going to take the
opportunity for a quick meal.
493
00:16:56,189 --> 00:16:58,539
Now, Rock and Atlas
have definitely
494
00:16:58,669 --> 00:17:00,802
reached the size where
they are ready to head
495
00:17:00,932 --> 00:17:02,369
back off into the environment.
496
00:17:02,499 --> 00:17:05,459
These are voracious predators
at two years of age,
497
00:17:05,589 --> 00:17:07,504
but there are
still predators out
498
00:17:07,635 --> 00:17:09,245
there for turtles of this size.
499
00:17:09,376 --> 00:17:13,249
mink, raccoons, even fox
will take advantage if they
500
00:17:13,380 --> 00:17:14,903
come across a turtle like this.
501
00:17:15,034 --> 00:17:17,558
Now, where we're releasing
them is very close to where
502
00:17:17,688 --> 00:17:18,907
they hatched out.
503
00:17:19,038 --> 00:17:20,517
The environment is
covered in duck weed.
504
00:17:20,648 --> 00:17:23,042
It's got thick mud,
plenty of lily pad cover.
505
00:17:23,172 --> 00:17:25,044
And with any luck,
these turtles are
506
00:17:25,174 --> 00:17:28,090
going to have an easy time
staying hidden and out
507
00:17:28,221 --> 00:17:29,570
of the way of danger.
508
00:17:29,700 --> 00:17:31,093
So you guys stay safe.
509
00:17:31,224 --> 00:17:32,921
I'll be thinking
about you often.
510
00:17:33,052 --> 00:17:35,358
We'll always go back and look
at your little baby photos
511
00:17:35,489 --> 00:17:38,405
because, in a way, they're
kind of like my children.
512
00:17:38,535 --> 00:17:41,582
I'm sad to see them go, but I'm
very happy to know that they
513
00:17:41,712 --> 00:17:43,932
now have a better chance
at eventually growing
514
00:17:44,063 --> 00:17:45,803
into the monster-sized
mud dragons
515
00:17:45,934 --> 00:17:47,588
that we're constantly
searching for.
516
00:17:47,718 --> 00:17:48,893
I'm Coyote Peterson.
517
00:17:49,024 --> 00:17:50,547
Be brave.
518
00:17:50,678 --> 00:17:51,983
Stay wild.
519
00:17:52,114 --> 00:17:53,637
We'll see you on
the next location.
520
00:17:53,768 --> 00:17:58,512
All right, guys, it's time
to head off into the swamp.
521
00:18:06,781 --> 00:18:09,436
All right, well, the
baby snapping turtles
522
00:18:09,566 --> 00:18:12,134
are officially off
and into the wild.
523
00:18:12,265 --> 00:18:13,744
And with any luck,
they are going
524
00:18:13,875 --> 00:18:16,573
to thrive here in this
protected body of water.
525
00:18:16,704 --> 00:18:18,967
Ah, I feel like
a parent watching
526
00:18:19,098 --> 00:18:21,012
his kids go off to college.
527
00:18:21,143 --> 00:18:22,013
It was a good day.
528
00:18:27,715 --> 00:18:31,022
Right now, we are on location
at the Costa Rican Amphibian
529
00:18:31,153 --> 00:18:33,068
Research Center, one
of our favorite places
530
00:18:33,199 --> 00:18:35,331
to film in Central America.
531
00:18:35,462 --> 00:18:37,377
This location is
actually home to a number
532
00:18:37,507 --> 00:18:39,944
of different unique plant
species, many of which
533
00:18:40,075 --> 00:18:41,859
are not even native
to Costa Rica.
534
00:18:41,990 --> 00:18:45,167
And I just came across a
tree that I think you guys
535
00:18:45,298 --> 00:18:46,777
definitely want to check out.
536
00:18:46,908 --> 00:18:49,563
I posted a picture on Instagram
recently of its fruit,
537
00:18:49,693 --> 00:18:51,869
saying, do you guys know what
this is, and whether you do
538
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:54,220
or don't, do you
want me to eat it?
539
00:18:54,350 --> 00:18:55,612
They're super strange looking.
540
00:18:55,743 --> 00:18:56,831
I've never tried them.
541
00:18:56,961 --> 00:18:58,528
I figured we'd save
it for a video.
542
00:18:58,659 --> 00:19:02,750
This right behind me
here is the salak palm.
543
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:06,623
And actually, its scientific
name, salacca zalacca
544
00:19:06,754 --> 00:19:09,713
makes complete sense, I guess.
545
00:19:09,844 --> 00:19:11,846
Trent, I'm going to hand
this camera off to you
546
00:19:11,976 --> 00:19:16,633
and we're going to take a closer
look at this very unique tree.
547
00:19:16,764 --> 00:19:19,506
Now, like I said, they are
not native to Costa Rica.
548
00:19:19,636 --> 00:19:22,291
These can be found on
several islands in Indonesia,
549
00:19:22,422 --> 00:19:24,815
but the habitat here
is absolutely perfect
550
00:19:24,946 --> 00:19:26,817
for these trees to thrive.
551
00:19:26,948 --> 00:19:28,776
This one is actually a female.
552
00:19:28,906 --> 00:19:30,125
There's a male here
right behind us.
553
00:19:30,256 --> 00:19:31,648
And one thing that
you may not know
554
00:19:31,779 --> 00:19:34,173
is that only the female
trees actually have fruit,
555
00:19:34,303 --> 00:19:36,349
and the fruit is right there.
556
00:19:36,479 --> 00:19:40,091
I think we all know
what those look like.
557
00:19:40,222 --> 00:19:41,571
Ripe figs.
558
00:19:41,702 --> 00:19:43,182
But they're not figs.
559
00:19:43,312 --> 00:19:45,445
They're actually more
commonly known as snake fruit.
560
00:19:45,575 --> 00:19:49,362
And sometimes, this tree is
called the snake fruit palm.
561
00:19:49,492 --> 00:19:51,929
Now, you'll look at these
leaves that all grow right down
562
00:19:52,060 --> 00:19:53,540
into the base of the
tree, and the first thing
563
00:19:53,670 --> 00:19:55,411
you're going to notice
as you reach in for one
564
00:19:55,542 --> 00:19:58,893
of these delicious
round-looking fruits
565
00:19:59,023 --> 00:20:02,505
is that these leaves are
protected with these really
566
00:20:02,636 --> 00:20:05,421
long, sharp, and rigid spines.
567
00:20:05,552 --> 00:20:07,336
This thing is booby-trapped.
568
00:20:07,467 --> 00:20:09,556
If you want to come in
and get a quick snack,
569
00:20:09,686 --> 00:20:11,079
you'd better be careful.
570
00:20:11,210 --> 00:20:13,037
Because if you slam your
hand into that, trust me,
571
00:20:13,168 --> 00:20:15,910
it's going to be a very
unpleasant afternoon.
572
00:20:16,040 --> 00:20:18,217
Now, when it comes
to getting the fruit,
573
00:20:18,347 --> 00:20:21,350
I'm going to just use my knife
here to gently cut one of these
574
00:20:21,481 --> 00:20:22,525
away.
575
00:20:22,656 --> 00:20:23,961
Now, there's some
small ones here.
576
00:20:24,092 --> 00:20:26,225
These ones I read are
not going to be ripe.
577
00:20:26,355 --> 00:20:27,922
The bigger the fruit,
the more likely
578
00:20:28,052 --> 00:20:29,489
the chances of it being ripe.
579
00:20:29,619 --> 00:20:33,101
So actually, there's one
that's right off of the tree
580
00:20:33,232 --> 00:20:34,755
right there.
581
00:20:34,885 --> 00:20:36,626
I'm going to take another
one of these big ones right
582
00:20:36,757 --> 00:20:38,280
from the back.
583
00:20:38,411 --> 00:20:41,109
All right, check those out.
584
00:20:41,240 --> 00:20:45,461
Big fuzzy fruits.
585
00:20:45,592 --> 00:20:48,290
And the reason these
are called snake
586
00:20:48,421 --> 00:20:52,294
fruit is because the
outer skin resembles
587
00:20:52,425 --> 00:20:54,165
the scales of a snake.
588
00:20:54,296 --> 00:20:58,387
And they also have these really
sharp spiky hairs on them.
589
00:20:58,518 --> 00:20:59,823
Can you hear that?
590
00:20:59,954 --> 00:21:01,434
They're very, very sharp.
591
00:21:01,564 --> 00:21:03,523
And it makes it very difficult
to get into the fruit
592
00:21:03,653 --> 00:21:05,176
if you're an animal.
593
00:21:05,307 --> 00:21:07,570
However, if you're human and
you have opposable thumbs,
594
00:21:07,701 --> 00:21:12,923
all you need to do is pop off
a little tip just like that
595
00:21:13,054 --> 00:21:19,147
and you can begin to peel
back that rigid, spiky skin.
596
00:21:19,278 --> 00:21:21,497
Now, these actually kind
of resemble mamon chinos.
597
00:21:21,628 --> 00:21:23,282
We've done a video
on those in the past.
598
00:21:23,412 --> 00:21:25,980
I know a lot of you called out,
no, coyote, those are rambutan.
599
00:21:26,110 --> 00:21:29,636
Well, in Costa Rica, guys,
they call mamon chinos.
600
00:21:29,766 --> 00:21:31,768
There we go.
601
00:21:31,899 --> 00:21:36,295
Skin comes off, and
there is the fruit.
602
00:21:36,425 --> 00:21:39,167
It almost looks like
cloves of garlic.
603
00:21:39,298 --> 00:21:41,778
Now, inside the fruit, there
can be two or three pieces.
604
00:21:41,909 --> 00:21:45,956
And you can split it apart into
two unique halves like that.
605
00:21:46,087 --> 00:21:48,698
And on the inside, there
is an inedible seed,
606
00:21:48,829 --> 00:21:50,874
which means you don't
want to eat that seed,
607
00:21:51,005 --> 00:21:52,398
but let's go ahead
and give this a try.
608
00:21:52,528 --> 00:21:57,098
It's the first time I am
ever tasting snake fruit.
609
00:21:57,228 --> 00:21:58,839
It doesn't really
smell like anything.
610
00:21:58,969 --> 00:22:00,319
Maybe actually a little
bit like a potato.
611
00:22:04,497 --> 00:22:05,889
Hmm!
612
00:22:06,020 --> 00:22:09,153
Oh, kind of sweet and then
it gets really bitter.
613
00:22:09,284 --> 00:22:10,067
Wow.
614
00:22:10,198 --> 00:22:11,417
That is sharp.
615
00:22:11,547 --> 00:22:14,115
And the texture is
kind of like something
616
00:22:14,245 --> 00:22:17,161
between a dehydrated apple
and a piece of potato.
617
00:22:19,947 --> 00:22:22,950
It's really not bad, though.
618
00:22:23,080 --> 00:22:25,996
And the more you chew
it, the juicier it gets.
619
00:22:26,127 --> 00:22:34,004
But what I'm finding is that as
the juice squeezes out of it,
620
00:22:34,135 --> 00:22:38,052
the fruit actually kind
of dries out your mouth.
621
00:22:38,182 --> 00:22:42,230
It's kind of really starchy.
622
00:22:42,361 --> 00:22:45,799
Kind of gross, but there's what
the fruit's like chewed up.
623
00:22:45,929 --> 00:22:51,544
Kind of looks like a mushy paste
of potato or dehydrated apple.
624
00:22:51,674 --> 00:22:54,111
And once you get down to
the seed, all you got to do
625
00:22:54,242 --> 00:22:56,984
is discard that and go
on to the next fruit.
626
00:22:57,114 --> 00:22:59,813
Now, I probably wouldn't
eat a ton of these in a row,
627
00:22:59,943 --> 00:23:03,947
but if you happen to find
yourself out in the wild
628
00:23:04,078 --> 00:23:05,732
and you come across
a snake fruit tree
629
00:23:05,862 --> 00:23:08,517
and you want a quick snack, as
long as you can get past all
630
00:23:08,648 --> 00:23:10,476
these spiny booby
traps, you're pretty
631
00:23:10,606 --> 00:23:12,391
good to get one of
these fruits and enjoy
632
00:23:12,521 --> 00:23:15,742
a quick natural treat.
633
00:23:15,872 --> 00:23:17,526
Of all the things I've eaten
on the "Brave Wilderness"
634
00:23:17,657 --> 00:23:20,573
channel, at the end, I
usually end up puking.
635
00:23:20,703 --> 00:23:21,835
Definitely going to
be no throwing up
636
00:23:21,965 --> 00:23:22,923
after eating the snake fruit.
637
00:23:23,053 --> 00:23:25,142
This is quite delicious.
638
00:23:25,273 --> 00:23:26,056
Mm!
639
00:23:26,187 --> 00:23:26,927
There you have it.
640
00:23:27,057 --> 00:23:29,190
Oh, I dropped it.
641
00:23:29,320 --> 00:23:31,235
A little wilderness snack
here on the "Brave Wilderness"
642
00:23:31,366 --> 00:23:32,933
channel.
643
00:23:33,063 --> 00:23:34,369
Hopefully you guys enjoyed
this behind-the-scenes episode.
644
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,371
Now, it's time to go out
and find some animals.
645
00:23:36,502 --> 00:23:37,503
I'm Coyote Peterson.
646
00:23:37,633 --> 00:23:38,460
Be brave.
647
00:23:41,115 --> 00:23:43,509
Stay wild.
648
00:23:43,639 --> 00:23:45,685
We'll see you on
the next location.
