How Snails are Helping Make the Next National Landmark: Natural Bridge Alabama
Join us as we survey the land snail diversity at Natural Bridge Park in Northwest Alabama, to help make this the next National Natural Landmark! In this video, we explore the lush environment under and around the park's iconic 60-foot high, 148-foot long natural bridge, the largest east of the Rockies. We'll meet the new park owners and learn about the unique history and future plans for this beautiful area. Along the way, we'll discover fascinating animals like dusky salamanders, crayfish, and many species of snails, including some highlights like the Broad Button and Fringed Slitmouth Snails.
This snail survey is part of a larger BioBlitz organized by WildAlabama to document the park's biodiversity and support its bid to become a National Natural Landmark.
While we explore the park we also learn about the unique history of the area, including its role during the Civil War and its past inhabitants, the Creek Indians. We also learn about the function of National Natural Landmarks in preserving and promoting the conservation of the United States' diverse natural areas.
Join us on this exciting adventure to appreciate the natural beauty of Natural Bridge Park and see why it deserves national recognition.

    No way sea silk is connected to the golden fleece legend. Sheeps hides were used in the ancient Colchida and in Georgia up to XIX century to gather gold sand from streamy mountain rivers there. Locals just put hides onto the stream bed for a month or two and then took it with gold sand entangled in fleece.

    Hi while searching for a bit of rather obscure and odd information I came across your channel. Would you be willing to speculate on how a slug would act in zero gravity? If say it was in a jar on the international space station how it would function or move around.

    • @SeahorseandCo
      @SeahorseandCo 4 місяці тому

      Haha alright I can try. I’d imagine a slug could deal with zero gravity quite well. Their large foot is like a suction cup that lets them climb up, down, and even upside down on surfaces in gravity so I think they could cope with no gravity and move around fine. The challenge would come if they fall off a wall and are floating in open air in zero Gs. In this situation I think they would elongate their body as much as possible and move their head up, down, and side to side looking for a surface to grab on to.

    • @LoneWolfsVoice
      @LoneWolfsVoice 4 місяці тому

      @SeahorseandCo That is about ten times more info than I have been able to find up until now. Thank you. I'm writing a fantasy novel, and one of the races in it are essentially slug centaurs.

    Love the editing style and high quality footage, you earned a subscriber! I'm a big herp enthusiast so its great seeing these little guys in vivid detail. Btw, the eggs at 6:22 are wood frog eggs! Mole salamanders tend to lay smaller amounts of eggs, the egg jelly is thicker, and they most often attach them to sticks underwater (versus a large floating clump). Edit: I'm pretty sure the eggs you filmed right after the wood frogs that have little developing tadpoles are mole salamanders (probably spotteds)
