If you've made it this far in the description, remember to be safe when creature adventuring! Most wild animals can cause injury if harassed, and I do not recommend attempting to capture any creatures without purpose and practice. The reason that I interact with wildlife is to produce these educational videos, and I am a professional biologist. Also, I always ask permission from a land owner before exploring on their property, and you should do the same.
Keep adventuring everywhere, and keep your adventures safe at all times!

The Yellow Rat was a beauty. Rat Snakes are so interesting. I would like to see Big Bertha if you cross paths with her again.
Real OG’s remember big Bertha
Such a cool video! The snail kite is a bird I’ve wanted to see for a while now. Beautiful yellow rat snake as well!
Thank you, would definitely recommend trying to find one in the wild, they are quite spectacular. Also yes, that rat snake was such a nice surprise.
Love your videos. Would love to see you do local nc herping… like in the uwharrie or raven rock.
Thank you! I definitely don't do enough location features in the NC piedmont, even though that's where I film most of my NC snake video that aren't coastal. I'll have to try and get some videos out about the herps of these locations for ya!
Cool video! I noticed the Snail Kites that like to hang around people are usually tagged/banded on the legs. And I filmed one eating a fish on the shore when snails were hard to find, but eating it with some difficulty because perhaps of the beak.
Thanks! That's neat, I didn't notice any leg bands on the ones that I saw but I also wasn't paying super close attention. Wait that's really cool, is the fish-eating footage up on your channel?
@@TheWildReportOfficialactually I've never published the footage. I'll dig it up from 2022 and figure out a way to send it to you.
That would be awesome, thanks!@@bob-cat
If you wanna see snail kites go to Harn’s Marsh in Fort Meyers. I saw a juvenile snail kite as soon as I walked in!
Oh cool, I'll have to check that area out. Thanks for the tip!
@@TheWildReportOfficial np!
Ben Zino. You know I love your videos and you are here in my State Florida. I Love what you do. I want to support your channel. Where can I send money?
Thanks so much, Walter! I really appreciate your willingness to support me in that way, but right now I don't have any kind of crowdsourcing set up because I'm trying to find a way to provide interesting donor perks with the limited amount of time I have. I'll keep you in the loop as I work to find the right platform for that!
@@TheWildReportOfficial .Ben Zino .I want to help you. Keep me posted. 👍
Will do, your support is so encouraging!@@waltermaples3998
@@TheWildReportOfficial Well Yes I will support you Ben. I care about what you do. I have followed you for years.
The sneak peek is rat snake!
Great guess, you weren't too far off!!
Is it a racer then
Baby killdeer and a snail kite and a yellow/eastern/yellow ratsnake in one video?!?
Well I figured I had to stack this one with cute things and snakes so people would stick around for the snail kite haha
@@TheWildReportOfficial Smart strategic move.
hm next episode guess either corn snake or some sort of nerodia
Haha great guess, it's up now if you want to check it out and see if you were right!
@@TheWildReportOfficial Yeah i just realized when i posted this yesterday that im very behind on videos haha
2:09 they changed the rat snakes again
Apparently yellow rat snakes are real again. It’s so over man
NO WAY! I've been wanting this for years, now just need to wait a few months for them to change it back 😵💫
@@TheWildReportOfficial black rat snakes still aren’t real pal. You imagined them
Nooo they must be real!@@LifesWildAdventures
