The video series for nature lovers.
About Me:
 
Stuck behind your computer all day? Wish you were spending time outside instead? Then watch NatureBreak, the video series and social network created by award-winning filmmaker and wildlife biologist Vanessa Serrao. NatureBreak offers people a refreshing break from normal computer work to get in touch with what's going on in the natural world.

In my videos, I don't use any macho antics to try to get animals to look fierce and dangerous. So you probably won't see any snakes striking or alligator wrastling (is that even a real word?). I try to interfere as little as possible in the lives of the animals I film. Except for the poor botfly...but hey, it was either him or me. I promise you'll still see really cool video of animals, though! Join the community and subscribe to be sure you don't miss any.

The whole concept of your channel is great. Loved the video about Panama, I guess because it is home for me. Check out some of the wildlife we are filming in Bocas del Toro, Panama. Please keep my nature breaks coming.

NatureBreak Hi YT Friends,
Finally a new video! Here is Part 1 of my Snake-A-Thon series. For Father's Day this year, my dad and I went out and tried to see how many species of snakes we could find in one day. There were some pretty impressive results! Timber Rattlesnake, Smooth Green Snake, and the best find--Eastern Hognose doing its entire defense act. But I don't want to give everything away. Here's a short video to kick off the series. Enjoy!

For father's day this year my dad and I went on a Snake-A-Thon. We got off to a good start with this red-bellied snake.
