meadow. 3 00:00:15,711 --> 00:00:17,321 What's great about this is it provides 4 00:00:17,452 --> 00:00:19,584 the perfect environment for a number of reptiles 5 00:00:19,715 --> 00:00:21,369 and amphibians species. 6 00:00:21,499 --> 00:00:24,459 It's right up against a wooded area and near that wooded area 7 00:00:24,589 --> 00:00:26,069 we can find some of the most common reptiles 8 00:00:26,200 --> 00:00:28,854 here in West Virginia, possibly hog nosed snakes 9 00:00:28,985 --> 00:00:30,943 and maybe even some black rat snakes. 10 00:00:31,074 --> 00:00:33,468 So with any luck, all we need to do is a little bit of searching 11 00:00:33,598 --> 00:00:35,513 and hopefully, we'll come across one of these reptiles. 12 00:00:38,386 --> 00:00:41,476 OK, we're headed into this wooded area here. 13 00:00:41,606 --> 00:00:44,174 A little easier to walk than out in those grasses. 14 00:00:44,305 --> 00:00:46,437 Wow. 15 00:00:46,568 --> 00:00:48,135 Pretty open expanse in here. 16 00:00:48,265 --> 00:00:51,921 Lots of cool trees and vines too. 17 00:00:52,052 --> 00:00:53,009 Black rat snake right there. 18 00:00:53,140 --> 00:00:54,489 Look at this. 19 00:00:54,619 --> 00:00:55,751 Right there, moving up the-- 20 00:00:56,926 --> 00:00:58,754 How about that? 21 00:00:58,884 --> 00:01:00,930 There's a black rat snake going right up those vines. 22 00:01:01,061 --> 00:01:03,367 You probably can't see it on the GoPro. 23 00:01:03,498 --> 00:01:05,500 OK, to catch that snake, I'll have to get up into that tree. 24 00:01:05,630 --> 00:01:07,197 Hold on a second. 25 00:01:07,328 --> 00:01:08,546 I'm coming up there. 26 00:01:08,677 --> 00:01:11,549 You stay put. 27 00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:13,551 Where is he going? 28 00:01:13,682 --> 00:01:15,727 Oh, boy. 29 00:01:15,858 --> 00:01:18,556 This is going to be a challenge. 30 00:01:18,687 --> 00:01:19,601 Real quick. 31 00:01:22,473 --> 00:01:23,518 Oh, there goes my GoPro. 32 00:01:29,480 --> 00:01:30,394 Got him. 33 00:01:30,525 --> 00:01:31,308 Here we go. 34 00:01:31,439 --> 00:01:32,570 Here we go. 35 00:01:32,701 --> 00:01:33,397 OK, I'm jumping down. 36 00:01:33,528 --> 00:01:34,442 Hold on. 37 00:01:36,400 --> 00:01:39,490 And just like that, we've got a creature. 38 00:01:39,621 --> 00:01:40,883 OK, and here we go. 39 00:01:41,013 --> 00:01:42,493 The five things that you probably didn't 40 00:01:42,624 --> 00:01:44,756 know about the black rat snake. 41 00:01:44,887 --> 00:01:48,369 Number one, the black rat snake is non-venomous. 42 00:01:48,499 --> 00:01:51,023 While some people are afraid of the snake species, 43 00:01:51,154 --> 00:01:53,852 it is completely harmless. 44 00:01:53,983 --> 00:01:56,899 Number two, the black rat snake, like all snakes, 45 00:01:57,029 --> 00:01:58,161 does have teeth. 46 00:01:58,292 --> 00:01:59,902 However, their teeth are rather small. 47 00:02:00,032 --> 00:02:01,817 While a bite won't necessarily hurt you, 48 00:02:01,947 --> 00:02:04,820 they do use those teeth to grapple onto their prey. 49 00:02:04,950 --> 00:02:06,604 To kill their prey, because they don't have venom, 50 00:02:06,735 --> 00:02:08,998 they actually constrict around them, 51 00:02:09,129 --> 00:02:10,782 so very similar to a python. 52 00:02:10,913 --> 00:02:13,872 This snake will tangle up its victim, eventually cutting off 53 00:02:14,003 --> 00:02:15,744 the circulation, which leads to death, 54 00:02:15,874 --> 00:02:19,139 and then the snake has the opportunity to finish its meal. 55 00:02:19,269 --> 00:02:22,925 Number three, speaking of meals, like their name suggests, 56 00:02:23,055 --> 00:02:26,015 the black rat snake specializes in catching and eating 57 00:02:26,146 --> 00:02:28,887 rats, mice, and small mammals. 58 00:02:29,018 --> 00:02:32,021 However, like you saw there, they are also arboreal, 59 00:02:32,152 --> 00:02:33,588 which means they'll head up into the trees 60 00:02:33,718 --> 00:02:37,287 to rob bird nests of baby birds or unhatched eggs. 61 00:02:37,418 --> 00:02:40,334 These snakes are excellent climbers. 62 00:02:40,464 --> 00:02:44,076 Number four, the black rat snake is one of the largest snake 63 00:02:44,207 --> 00:02:45,948 species in the United States, and they can 64 00:02:46,078 --> 00:02:48,516 reach nearly 8 feet in length. 65 00:02:48,646 --> 00:02:51,519 That is a pretty big slithering serpent. 66 00:02:51,649 --> 00:02:53,434 Number five, while they may be called 67 00:02:53,564 --> 00:02:55,566 the black rat snake, as you can see, 68 00:02:55,697 --> 00:02:57,002 they're not completely black. 69 00:02:57,133 --> 00:02:58,917 While they can be a very dark shade, 70 00:02:59,048 --> 00:03:01,137 they oftentimes have a very light underbelly 71 00:03:01,268 --> 00:03:02,704 and have a bit of speckling that runs 72 00:03:02,834 --> 00:03:04,314 down the length of their body. 73 00:03:04,445 --> 00:03:06,882 You've got some reds, some yellows, and some creams, 74 00:03:07,012 --> 00:03:08,753 making this snake perfectly camouflaged 75 00:03:08,884 --> 00:03:10,277 between the light and the shadows 76 00:03:10,407 --> 00:03:12,148 in the environments which it's hunting. 77 00:03:12,279 --> 00:03:14,411 And when they're babies, also known as neonates, 78 00:03:14,542 --> 00:03:16,500 they're gray with a little bit of patterning, 79 00:03:16,631 --> 00:03:18,589 so rather hard to identify. 80 00:03:18,720 --> 00:03:21,113 There you have it, five things that you probably didn't 81 00:03:21,244 --> 00:03:23,333 know about the black rat snake. 82 00:03:23,464 --> 00:03:24,595 I'm Coyote Petersen. 83 00:03:24,726 --> 00:03:26,206 Be brave. 84 00:03:26,336 --> 00:03:27,685 Stay wild. 85 00:03:27,816 --> 00:03:29,339 We'll see you on the next creature feature. 86 00:03:35,476 --> 00:03:37,826 All right, there he goes. 87 00:03:37,956 --> 00:03:40,089 Right back into the tree where he came from. 88 00:03:40,220 --> 00:03:41,090 Good luck hunting. 89 00:03:48,010 --> 00:03:49,707 Welcome to Creature Features. 90 00:03:49,838 --> 00:03:51,709 Today I'm exploring Middle Bass Island. 91 00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,364 While this location is famous for its unique population 92 00:03:54,495 --> 00:03:56,192 of Lake Erie water snakes, today I'm 93 00:03:56,323 --> 00:03:58,934 actually searching for another one of its slithering serpents, 94 00:03:59,064 --> 00:04:00,718 the fox snake. 95 00:04:00,849 --> 00:04:02,546 It's early morning, and the sun is just beginning to peek 96 00:04:02,677 --> 00:04:04,418 through the trees, which means that these snakes are 97 00:04:04,548 --> 00:04:05,897 going to come out to start basking 98 00:04:06,028 --> 00:04:07,421 and then hunting for the day. 99 00:04:07,551 --> 00:04:08,944 So I have a good feeling that with just 100 00:04:09,074 --> 00:04:10,815 a little bit of searching, there's a good chance 101 00:04:10,946 --> 00:04:12,164 we're going to find one. 102 00:04:12,295 --> 00:04:13,992 So if you guys are ready, let's see if we 103 00:04:14,123 --> 00:04:16,081 can track down a fox snake. 104 00:04:29,573 --> 00:04:31,749 One of the best places to search for fox snakes 105 00:04:31,880 --> 00:04:34,448 is actually the base of trees, and the reason for that 106 00:04:34,578 --> 00:04:36,798 is these predators are opportunistic 107 00:04:36,928 --> 00:04:39,583 and this time of year, a lot of baby birds are learning to fly. 108 00:04:39,714 --> 00:04:41,759 Those that can't quite get up into the air 109 00:04:41,890 --> 00:04:43,500 end up on the ground, which presents 110 00:04:43,631 --> 00:04:46,416 the perfect opportunity for a snake to get a simple meal. 111 00:04:46,547 --> 00:04:48,288 By searching the base of the trees, 112 00:04:48,418 --> 00:04:50,072 I'm hoping to come across one of these snakes 113 00:04:50,202 --> 00:04:51,465 that's waiting in ambush. 114 00:04:51,595 --> 00:04:53,031 All right, let's check a few more trees. 115 00:04:53,162 --> 00:04:54,032 I think we're getting close. 116 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,341 OK, guys, we have got a fox snake 117 00:04:58,472 --> 00:05:00,952 moving right here from the shadows and into the light 118 00:05:01,083 --> 00:05:02,998 just as I predicted. 119 00:05:03,128 --> 00:05:04,042 This is perfect. 120 00:05:04,173 --> 00:05:05,696 Check this out. 121 00:05:05,827 --> 00:05:08,046 This is one of my favorite snake species in the world. 122 00:05:08,177 --> 00:05:09,570 Totally safe to interact with. 123 00:05:09,700 --> 00:05:15,010 All I need to do is gently pick it up like that. 124 00:05:15,140 --> 00:05:16,403 And there you have it. 125 00:05:16,533 --> 00:05:19,362 That is our Middle Bass Island fox snake. 126 00:05:19,493 --> 00:05:20,276 Morning, buddy. 127 00:05:20,407 --> 00:05:21,712 How are you? 128 00:05:21,843 --> 00:05:24,715 That is one good looking fox snake, 129 00:05:24,846 --> 00:05:28,023 and it may be the largest fox snake I have ever caught 130 00:05:28,153 --> 00:05:29,807 here on the Erie islands. 131 00:05:29,938 --> 00:05:33,594 This guy is close to 3 and 1/2 maybe even 4 feet in length. 132 00:05:33,724 --> 00:05:35,596 All right, so if you guys are ready, here we go. 133 00:05:35,726 --> 00:05:37,511 The five things that you probably didn't 134 00:05:37,641 --> 00:05:40,209 know about the fox snake. 135 00:05:40,340 --> 00:05:44,561 Number one, the fox snake is a classic case of vilification 136 00:05:44,692 --> 00:05:46,607 based on misidentification. 137 00:05:46,737 --> 00:05:49,523 What that means is this species is often confused 138 00:05:49,653 --> 00:05:52,003 for venomous pit vipers, like the Copperhead 139 00:05:52,134 --> 00:05:53,831 or the timber rattlesnake. 140 00:05:53,962 --> 00:05:55,703 The truth is this is a completely 141 00:05:55,833 --> 00:05:59,446 non-venomous constrictor species in the colubridae family. 142 00:05:59,576 --> 00:06:01,578 They're very closely related to rat snakes 143 00:06:01,709 --> 00:06:04,451 in the genus pantherophis. 144 00:06:04,581 --> 00:06:07,889 Number two, as constrictors, these snakes 145 00:06:08,019 --> 00:06:10,152 will wait in ambush for their prey to get close. 146 00:06:10,282 --> 00:06:13,547 They primarily feast on small mammals, birds, and amphibians. 147 00:06:13,677 --> 00:06:15,592 When they strikeout, they grapple on 148 00:06:15,723 --> 00:06:18,726 with a mouthful of teeth and anchor onto their prey. 149 00:06:18,856 --> 00:06:20,597 Once they have that prey in place, 150 00:06:20,728 --> 00:06:23,905 they quickly wrap their coils around and begin to constrict. 151 00:06:24,035 --> 00:06:26,951 Once that prey item dies, they're capable of swallowing 152 00:06:27,082 --> 00:06:28,823 it down whole. 153 00:06:28,953 --> 00:06:32,000 Number three, the fox snake gets its namesake 154 00:06:32,130 --> 00:06:34,263 from Reverend Charles Fox. 155 00:06:34,394 --> 00:06:36,657 This is the guy that discovered and collected 156 00:06:36,787 --> 00:06:39,311 the original holotype of the species. 157 00:06:39,442 --> 00:06:41,226 The name also comes from the fact 158 00:06:41,357 --> 00:06:42,837 that when they're threatened by predators, 159 00:06:42,967 --> 00:06:44,621 they will release a really pungent 160 00:06:44,752 --> 00:06:48,190 musk that supposedly smells like a fox, hence 161 00:06:48,320 --> 00:06:50,105 the name fox snake. 162 00:06:50,235 --> 00:06:52,368 Number four, if the smell of a fox 163 00:06:52,499 --> 00:06:54,283 doesn't drive off an attacker, this 164 00:06:54,414 --> 00:06:57,155 is one of many non-venomous snake species that 165 00:06:57,286 --> 00:07:00,115 is capable of striking out repeatedly and also 166 00:07:00,245 --> 00:07:03,597 rattling its tail against leaf litter to mimic a rattlesnake. 167 00:07:03,727 --> 00:07:06,164 That combined with the banded and checkered patterning, 168 00:07:06,295 --> 00:07:08,297 plus a striped tail, you can see why 169 00:07:08,428 --> 00:07:12,040 this species is often confused for a venomous rattler. 170 00:07:12,170 --> 00:07:16,305 Number five, fox snakes are completely harmless to humans 171 00:07:16,436 --> 00:07:18,220 and are actually doing us quite a bit of good 172 00:07:18,350 --> 00:07:20,875 by helping to balance out the vermin population. 173 00:07:21,005 --> 00:07:23,268 Yet these snakes are on the decline, 174 00:07:23,399 --> 00:07:24,792 and throughout many parts of the range 175 00:07:24,922 --> 00:07:26,358 are considered threatened. 176 00:07:26,489 --> 00:07:29,187 That's due to habitat loss from human encroachment 177 00:07:29,318 --> 00:07:32,887 and also eradication based on an unnecessary fear 178 00:07:33,017 --> 00:07:34,497 of this species. 179 00:07:34,628 --> 00:07:36,281 So there you have it, five things 180 00:07:36,412 --> 00:07:39,763 that you probably didn't know about the fantastic fox snake. 181 00:07:39,894 --> 00:07:41,025 I'm Coyote Petersen. 182 00:07:41,156 --> 00:07:42,505 Be brave. 183 00:07:42,636 --> 00:07:44,115 Stay wild. 184 00:07:44,246 --> 00:07:46,117 We'll see you on the next Creature Feature. 185 00:07:53,168 --> 00:07:54,778 Hello, everybody, I'm Mark Vins 186 00:07:54,909 --> 00:07:57,477 and today, I'm taking you on an adventure with me 187 00:07:57,607 --> 00:07:58,565 to look for horned lizards. 188 00:07:58,695 --> 00:07:59,566 Let's go. 189 00:08:02,612 --> 00:08:03,787 All right, so it's pretty windy out here 190 00:08:03,918 --> 00:08:06,268 today, which could pose some problems 191 00:08:06,398 --> 00:08:08,357 for finding horned lizards. 192 00:08:08,488 --> 00:08:11,621 Horned lizards, as we know, are very small species of reptile, 193 00:08:11,752 --> 00:08:13,362 and they're going to want to be taking 194 00:08:13,493 --> 00:08:15,756 shelter today out of this wind. 195 00:08:15,886 --> 00:08:18,280 Not to mention the sun is behind a lot of clouds 196 00:08:18,410 --> 00:08:21,588 so those exothermic reptiles are definitely going to be hunkered 197 00:08:21,718 --> 00:08:23,198 down trying to keep warm. 198 00:08:23,328 --> 00:08:25,287 Now we're also hopefully going to find out later, if we 199 00:08:25,417 --> 00:08:27,507 find one, are they dangerous? 200 00:08:27,637 --> 00:08:28,725 Are they dangerous to hold? 201 00:08:28,856 --> 00:08:30,510 Are they sharp to touch? 202 00:08:30,640 --> 00:08:35,166 That's something that I'm going to reveal later in this video. 203 00:08:35,297 --> 00:08:37,212 All right, cool, here. 204 00:08:37,342 --> 00:08:38,909 Here's a cool plant. 205 00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:42,565 You can see this creosote bush has already blossomed. 206 00:08:42,696 --> 00:08:45,394 This is my favorite desert plant because it's what 207 00:08:45,525 --> 00:08:47,439 gives the desert its smell. 208 00:08:47,570 --> 00:08:51,008 That beautiful aroma that you get after a rainstorm 209 00:08:51,139 --> 00:08:52,575 is because of this plant. 210 00:08:52,706 --> 00:08:54,795 And you can actually experience that without rain. 211 00:08:54,925 --> 00:08:57,667 All you have to do take a little sprig, 212 00:08:57,798 --> 00:08:59,060 you rub it in your hands. 213 00:08:59,190 --> 00:09:01,062 I do this every time I'm in the Southwest. 214 00:09:01,192 --> 00:09:05,936 These are all over the Southwest, and then drop. 215 00:09:06,067 --> 00:09:08,722 Oh, man, I love that smell. 216 00:09:08,852 --> 00:09:11,072 But another cool thing about the creosote bush 217 00:09:11,202 --> 00:09:15,119 is it makes a great hiding spot for smaller animals, 218 00:09:15,250 --> 00:09:18,862 including the horned lizard, today's target species. 219 00:09:18,993 --> 00:09:21,822 So you can bet every creosote bush we pass, 220 00:09:21,952 --> 00:09:23,824 I'm going to be looking underneath. 221 00:09:23,954 --> 00:09:25,869 All right, Cory, time to move on. 222 00:09:32,267 --> 00:09:34,008 Here's a cool barrel cactus. 223 00:09:34,138 --> 00:09:35,792 Look at that. 224 00:09:35,923 --> 00:09:38,969 Its spines are super sharp. 225 00:09:39,100 --> 00:09:41,363 No need to worry about ankle breakers out here, 226 00:09:41,493 --> 00:09:43,626 got to worry about ankle shredders. 227 00:09:43,757 --> 00:09:45,454 Look at that. 228 00:09:45,585 --> 00:09:46,934 So we couldn't come on an adventure 229 00:09:47,064 --> 00:09:50,024 out here without addressing one of these. 230 00:09:50,154 --> 00:09:52,026 The Joshua Tree is a very unique species. 231 00:09:52,156 --> 00:09:54,463 It's the tallest and largest of the yucca 232 00:09:54,594 --> 00:09:55,899 and they are extremely sharp. 233 00:09:56,030 --> 00:09:57,031 Come on in here real quick, Cory. 234 00:09:57,161 --> 00:09:59,033 Look at this. 235 00:09:59,163 --> 00:10:02,297 Should I show everybody just how sharp these really are? 236 00:10:02,427 --> 00:10:04,429 OK, you guys ready for this? 237 00:10:04,560 --> 00:10:05,866 You've seen the cholla. 238 00:10:05,996 --> 00:10:08,433 It's time to take a step up to the Joshua Tree. 239 00:10:08,564 --> 00:10:09,826 Ready? 240 00:10:09,957 --> 00:10:13,525 1, 2, 3. 241 00:10:13,656 --> 00:10:15,789 No way, guys. 242 00:10:15,919 --> 00:10:20,184 That would literally go straight through my hand. 243 00:10:20,315 --> 00:10:23,318 Cory, reach out and feel how strong. 244 00:10:23,448 --> 00:10:24,580 That is. 245 00:10:24,711 --> 00:10:26,843 And they are razor sharp. 246 00:10:26,974 --> 00:10:28,671 What's really cool about this plant 247 00:10:28,802 --> 00:10:31,326 is that they are actually ancient. 248 00:10:31,456 --> 00:10:35,069 These trees can live up to 500 years old, 249 00:10:35,199 --> 00:10:38,333 and they take about 60 years to grow into a mature plant. 250 00:10:38,463 --> 00:10:41,118 So this one is at least 60 years old. 251 00:10:41,249 --> 00:10:43,686 Now they can grow quite a bit taller than this. 252 00:10:43,817 --> 00:10:47,211 They can actually extend up to heights of 40 feet. 253 00:10:47,342 --> 00:10:51,172 OK, time to find those lizards. 254 00:10:51,302 --> 00:10:54,131 Horned lizards are some of the coolest reptiles 255 00:10:54,262 --> 00:10:55,263 in the Southwest. 256 00:10:55,393 --> 00:10:56,960 There's many species. 257 00:10:57,091 --> 00:10:58,440 Certainly we've found them before on "Brave Wilderness" 258 00:10:58,570 --> 00:11:00,529 but we're looking for a special one today. 259 00:11:00,660 --> 00:11:04,185 One we have not seen yet on video. 260 00:11:04,315 --> 00:11:06,448 So far, no luck. 261 00:11:06,578 --> 00:11:11,801 As we know, washes are a great place to find reptiles, 262 00:11:11,932 --> 00:11:14,108 specifically snakes. 263 00:11:14,238 --> 00:11:15,544 So I just wanted to come up here real quick 264 00:11:15,675 --> 00:11:20,070 and see if anything's moving. 265 00:11:20,201 --> 00:11:23,987 We found the desert horned lizard, a baby, a juvenile. 266 00:11:24,118 --> 00:11:24,901 I'm going to grab him. 267 00:11:25,032 --> 00:11:25,815 Ready, Cory? 268 00:11:25,946 --> 00:11:28,339 1, 2, 3. 269 00:11:28,470 --> 00:11:29,210 Got him. 270 00:11:29,340 --> 00:11:30,907 Hello. 271 00:11:31,038 --> 00:11:32,996 Look how beautiful he is. 272 00:11:33,127 --> 00:11:35,085 OK, here, let's get down out of the wind. 273 00:11:35,216 --> 00:11:36,608 This is good spot. 274 00:11:36,739 --> 00:11:39,394 Oh, yeah, definitely much more out of the wind. 275 00:11:39,524 --> 00:11:43,964 This is a juvenile desert horned lizard. 276 00:11:44,094 --> 00:11:48,142 Look at how cute this little reptile is. 277 00:11:48,272 --> 00:11:49,926 Let's tell everybody at home all about you. 278 00:11:50,057 --> 00:11:54,191 Now although their appearance is quite spiky and ominous, 279 00:11:54,322 --> 00:11:57,847 I can tell you that all of those are nothing 280 00:11:57,978 --> 00:12:00,328 more than modified scales. 281 00:12:00,458 --> 00:12:04,636 The only real sharp part is that crown around their head, 282 00:12:04,767 --> 00:12:07,074 and even those are very dull. 283 00:12:07,204 --> 00:12:10,599 Now the crown of horns on the desert horned lizard 284 00:12:10,730 --> 00:12:12,644 is actually a lot shorter than that 285 00:12:12,775 --> 00:12:14,255 of the regal horned lizard. 286 00:12:14,385 --> 00:12:16,126 You may have seen our past videos in Arizona where we 287 00:12:16,257 --> 00:12:17,562 found the regal horned lizard. 288 00:12:17,693 --> 00:12:19,521 This is a different species, but it 289 00:12:19,651 --> 00:12:22,002 is one of three horned lizard species that 290 00:12:22,132 --> 00:12:24,047 has that defense mechanism where they can project 291 00:12:24,178 --> 00:12:26,093 blood out of their eyes. 292 00:12:26,223 --> 00:12:28,356 Notice, this horned lizard did not do that. 293 00:12:28,486 --> 00:12:30,750 They really have to be agitated to display 294 00:12:30,880 --> 00:12:32,186 that defense mechanism. 295 00:12:32,316 --> 00:12:34,579 And what that is it's actually pretty bizarre. 296 00:12:34,710 --> 00:12:37,060 These lizards have two veins that connect to their ocular 297 00:12:37,191 --> 00:12:38,932 sinuses, and they have the ability 298 00:12:39,062 --> 00:12:42,762 to constrict those veins to stop the blood flow from the heart. 299 00:12:42,892 --> 00:12:45,199 Now when that pressure builds up, 300 00:12:45,329 --> 00:12:47,462 they can release it in such a force 301 00:12:47,592 --> 00:12:48,985 that it breaks through the membrane 302 00:12:49,116 --> 00:12:51,858 and shoots out up to 4 feet. 303 00:12:51,988 --> 00:12:53,033 Wow. 304 00:12:53,163 --> 00:12:54,948 Oh, look at that cute little tail. 305 00:12:55,078 --> 00:12:56,253 Cool pattern on that tail. 306 00:12:56,384 --> 00:12:58,473 Very flat for a horned lizard. 307 00:12:58,603 --> 00:13:02,303 But I just love the coloration of the desert horned lizard. 308 00:13:02,433 --> 00:13:05,219 Those beautiful whitish grays and browns, 309 00:13:05,349 --> 00:13:09,658 almost a green hue and an outer line of orange and tan 310 00:13:09,789 --> 00:13:11,007 on the cheeks. 311 00:13:11,138 --> 00:13:14,315 Man, you are so cool looking. 312 00:13:14,445 --> 00:13:17,274 And I can't believe you found you underneath a creosote bush, 313 00:13:17,405 --> 00:13:19,059 that we were talking about just earlier, 314 00:13:19,189 --> 00:13:21,278 is a great place for smaller animals 315 00:13:21,409 --> 00:13:23,628 to take refuge in wind and sun. 316 00:13:23,759 --> 00:13:26,196 And like I mentioned earlier, this is just a hatchling, 317 00:13:26,327 --> 00:13:28,416 a tiny desert horned lizard. 318 00:13:28,546 --> 00:13:29,896 But if it's lucky enough, it'll grow up 319 00:13:30,026 --> 00:13:33,029 to be 3 to 5 inches in length, which 320 00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,814 is about three times your size. 321 00:13:34,944 --> 00:13:36,337 So you've got a long way to go, buddy. 322 00:13:36,467 --> 00:13:38,165 But we're going to put you right back 323 00:13:38,295 --> 00:13:41,081 where we found you, so you can get well on your way, right? 324 00:13:41,211 --> 00:13:42,430 Right. 325 00:13:42,560 --> 00:13:44,824 What a special way to end our adventure 326 00:13:44,954 --> 00:13:48,131 here in the deserts of Nevada, finding the desert 327 00:13:48,262 --> 00:13:49,002 horned lizard. 328 00:13:49,132 --> 00:13:50,133 I'm Mark Vins. 329 00:13:50,264 --> 00:13:52,092 Be brave. 330 00:13:52,222 --> 00:13:53,441 Stay wild. 331 00:13:53,571 --> 00:13:55,269 We'll see you on the next adventure. 332 00:13:55,399 --> 00:13:58,489 All right, let's put you back. 333 00:13:58,620 --> 00:14:02,885 There's the creosote bush and you're home. 334 00:14:03,016 --> 00:14:04,104 Here we go. 335 00:14:04,234 --> 00:14:05,018 Have a good day. 336 00:14:05,148 --> 00:14:06,019 Thanks for hanging. 337 00:14:11,981 --> 00:14:13,765 The Australian Outback can truly 338 00:14:13,896 --> 00:14:15,985 be hailed as one of the most iconic landscapes 339 00:14:16,116 --> 00:14:20,033 on the planet, and visiting this location 340 00:14:20,163 --> 00:14:24,080 had long been a dream for the Brave Wilderness team. 341 00:14:24,211 --> 00:14:27,475 This vast expanse of open grasslands and arid terrain 342 00:14:27,605 --> 00:14:29,390 is home to a plethora of reptilian 343 00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,871 species, many of which we hope to get 344 00:14:32,001 --> 00:14:36,005 up close for the cameras. 345 00:14:36,136 --> 00:14:38,442 So to have the best chance of finding them, 346 00:14:38,573 --> 00:14:42,229 we travel far beyond the city limits of bustling civilization 347 00:14:42,359 --> 00:14:48,365 and headed westward toward the tiny rural town of Meandarra. 348 00:14:48,496 --> 00:14:51,542 Exploring the outback requires a bit of experience, 349 00:14:51,673 --> 00:14:55,329 so we teamed up with animal specialists Lockie Gilding 350 00:14:55,459 --> 00:14:58,114 and Max Jackson, who own and operate 351 00:14:58,245 --> 00:15:00,900 Australian Wildlife Encounters. 352 00:15:01,030 --> 00:15:02,814 Working under their special permits, 353 00:15:02,945 --> 00:15:05,034 we would be spending peak daylight hours 354 00:15:05,165 --> 00:15:08,037 driving the countryside in search of ideal habitats 355 00:15:08,168 --> 00:15:10,344 to explore. 356 00:15:10,474 --> 00:15:13,042 Once a viable location was established, 357 00:15:13,173 --> 00:15:15,740 the goal was to break trail into the great unknown 358 00:15:15,871 --> 00:15:17,786 and begin our search for any species 359 00:15:17,917 --> 00:15:21,094 that could be safely presented in front of the cameras. 360 00:15:21,224 --> 00:15:25,272 Guys, so right now we are out exploring in some back country. 361 00:15:25,402 --> 00:15:28,753 This is officially the Australian bush, 362 00:15:28,884 --> 00:15:30,930 and it's very disorienting. 363 00:15:31,060 --> 00:15:35,021 I spin in a circle like this, and I bet it looks 364 00:15:35,151 --> 00:15:38,415 the same in every direction. 365 00:15:38,546 --> 00:15:40,200 All right, I'm disorienting myself. 366 00:15:40,330 --> 00:15:42,115 I know that I came though from that direction, 367 00:15:42,245 --> 00:15:47,337 so I'm going to head back and meet up with the crew. 368 00:15:47,468 --> 00:15:51,211 The bush, as it is so iconically known in Australia, 369 00:15:51,341 --> 00:15:53,953 refers to any sparsely inhabited region 370 00:15:54,083 --> 00:15:56,129 regardless of vegetation type. 371 00:15:56,259 --> 00:15:58,827 And given the fact that we were well over 300 miles away 372 00:15:58,958 --> 00:16:01,612 from any major city, this wilderness 373 00:16:01,743 --> 00:16:05,181 could definitely be considered true Australian bush. 374 00:16:08,793 --> 00:16:10,839 Look at that. 375 00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:13,102 That's a wild pig skull right
