Excellent vid...as always. You did catch my interest when you mentioned the Rattlesnake morph. I got the impression from how you said it that your not a lover of colour mutations. Personally I prefer the natural colours and find nature's designs to be pretty much perfect.
Oh and the Puma/Cougar exhibit looked amazing. Not many captive cats get that kind of treatment.
@Raptor1970 In nature those color morphs do not survive to reproduce many times. I loke what is natually produced not what's inbred to get what YOU want.
It makes a refreshing change to hear that someone other than me prefers natures colours in snakes! rather than the 15,000 different colours you can get with royal pythons now. At the end of the day, nature has been working on these snakes for hell of a long time, so I think she's pretty good at it.
Woo, a part 2 perhaps? Or are you just trying to torture us by leaving us with that cut-off ending? Great exhibits, I remember when we lived in 29 Palms as kids, we'd chase road runners in the morning, and never could we catch one.
I wasn't aware of that kind of diversity of venom in one species. I assume it's a regional thing. I wonder how long it takes a population to diverge that far in the kind of venom it manufactures?
Great video and tour. I have a great friend on youtube goes by ZooVisitorMM and she has some great live coverage of animals in the Philadelphia Zoo and i really love watching this type of video. Really Nice Al :O) 5*s Your new camera is magnificent!!!!
While I think the opening does show a cautionary tale of sometimes this snakes are aggressive, dangerous, and deadly (and provides a vivid CYA statement) it does get my heart to racing.
Your videos have actually helped calm my fear of snakes---seeing them as animals instead of calculating killers. (As I see any other deadly animal.) Thanks for all the work you do and sharing it with us. It has helped quell my mother's fear of snakes as well
I Can't believe I missed a chance to meet you!! I'm in Sierra Vista, very close to Tucson...... LOL I love the Road Runners! We have one that lives on our property, we call him Peeper, because he likes to peep in our big living room window in the evenings when we're all there..... Is that creepy?! ;)
I remeber seeing sidewinder rattlesnakes at Toronto zoo and Eastern massassauga rattlesnakes, Eastern tiger snakes, green tree pythons, white liped pythons, emerald tree boas and a huge 20 plus foot albino burmese python, although next time I go, I'm going to the reptile house!
Gotta love how people so eagerly choose criticism over education. It MUST be your fault, Al! Thanks for being patient with the world as much as you are and continuing to share your wealth of experience, knowledge, and interesting views on these fine creatures so many know so little about.
Wow, now THAT is a cougar enclosure! Not like some I've seen.

The induvidual who thinks that a raccoon is "not very smart" might just be proven wrong by the same specimen they criticized. : P
