The North America was once an uninhabited wilderness where huge herds of big animals roamed. It was only about 15 thousand years ago when the Colombian mamooths, bisons, sabretooth cats and giant ground sloths lived here. After that, the climate change and human hunters caused the extinction of most of the big mammals. Only a few species survived in the harsh deserts of Southwestern USA and Northern Mexico until recent days. Today the deserts are not shaking under the hoofs of thousands of herbivores, but some animals which lived in that age are still present here. It is estimated that around 25 million years ago one particular group of vipers started to thrive in North America and they still dominate this continent. The rattlesnakes. After millions of years of evolution they attained body structures which allowed them to become the most successful venomous snakes in this part of the world. - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
This is honestly one of the best documentaries I've ever seen. You guys stuck to the facts and didn't make reptiles seem bloodthirsty or vicious, unlike other "documentaries". Great job!
Oh, thank you so much!!! We are very happy that you love our documentary!
I consume your stuff like my dog consumes my meat leftovers. As an Arizona resident for 35 years, I share the appreciation of this state. Your photography is unparalleled. The Sonoran Desert is the best Desert in the world for unique biodiversity and geology. Thank you for sharing your expertise. ❤️🇺🇸
Thanl you so much! ❤️We appreciate such a positive comment from somebody who is from Arizona! Spending time in Sonoran desert was one of the best experiences we had from trips around the world! We would love to come back in the future.
JUST SOMETHING SO DEADLY REPTILES,AND YET SO MUCH MYSTERY, IS OVER THE TOP, THK YOU BROTHER,IT WAS SO DAM KOOL 😎🌹
Are snakes immune to their own venom or can they suffer dire consequences through accidental envenomation? Guess you could call me a novice but one thing I do know is all snakes scare the you-know-what out of me!
This is by far the best rattlesnakes documentary film I've had the pleasure of watching my favourite rattlesnakes are the red rock
Thank you so much!!! We are happy that you love it!
I am a snake-o-phile; I admire them, thought I knew a bit, but this video was superior. I had no idea there were so many unique and beautiful species in the desert Southwest. Bravo and so well done!
Thank you so much for watching and we are happy that you enjoyed it!
Herpephile?
Why does anyone admire snakes is beyond me
Bravo ! This is the best rattlesnake documentary I have ever seen. Absolutely amazing color and outstanding footage of an animal many have found difficult to film. Thank you for your patience and hard work !
We are very happy that you enjoyed it!!! :) Thank you so much!!!
The Speckled Rattlesnake shown is amazing - the colors are just ridiculously beautiful.
Yes, they are gorgeous! Thank you for watching! :)
This is the best snake documentary I've ever seen. Most of these are just 2 minutes of snake footage and 50 minutes of people talking about snakes in some jeep.
Thank you so much!!! We are trying to base our films on natural history because there are very few documentaries like that and we want to show snakes in their natural habitat with natural behavior.
Without question your video presentations on the diversity of the snake species is right at the top level. The quality of your videos plus the outstanding commentary is second to none! Thank you for your dedication to one of mother nature`s most fascinating creatures.
Thank you so much! 🙏 We really appreciate your beautiful comment!
Wow. This was an amazing documentary. This really reminds me of when I was a little 8 year old glued to the tv watching documentaries on animal planet, discovery or nat geo wild. All those documentaries I watched inspired me to go to school to become a wildlife biologist. Great stuff!
Oh, thank you so much!!! We had the same experience when we were young, we were watching documentaries and wanted to study zoology and even create our own wildlife films. And today one of us is finishing PhD in Zoology and we have our own wildlife film studio :)
Just found this and Limited Zoology on UA-cam and was immediately captivated by the video! I’ve read many comments and can’t surpass their wonderful praises but I very much agree. Am 75 years old, have lived in TN my last 70, and have experienced and even played with certain snakes such as the harmless skinny green snakes that loved our back yard and many oak trees. Many black racers frequented the roads and the very abundant blackberry bushes. My only rattlesnake on our suburban lot was found under some leaves in our front road ditch. The ditch was shallow and the grass was groomed by a mower, which we as children often took turns doing. Luckily, I found the little 6” guy before the mower did and my brothers and I set him free on the still wooded lot across the street. Felt good!! Have come accidentally close to 2 adult rattlers, one in the Fall Creek Falls State Park, sunning on an rocky overlook provided for park visitors. One man frieked and removed the snake’s head with a shovel. So sad!! Another time, I almost put my hand on a rattler sleeping on a rock jutting from the cliff’s side as we were hiking a trail in the mountains around Sewanee, TN. A smaller tributary of the Harpeth River ran along the common area and jogging trail behind our yard at our next house. The HOA had removed several old hackberry trees along the jogging trail but left stumps 3’ tall. There I saw my first water moccasin, coiled and sunning on top of the stump. I was told others had been seen in the same way. I did not disturb mine! Recently, someone at our local lake marina pointed out to me a very well camouflaged snake in the water, near the edge, under a tree branch submerged, trying to hide from us as we were viewing him from above on the gangplank. It was a copperhead, not a water snake so often seen in lakes!! Unlike desert creatures, local groups of birds will become agitated, flying erratically and screaming, undoubtedly having spotted a snake slithering in grass or ground-cover beneath their nests full of baby birds or eggs and were panicked. And then, quiet peace would resume. Such was my growing up with nature! No phone, no internet, no chat rooms!! Classrooms were where we were taught important things, real things occurring in our beautiful real world! That is why I remember every snake in my world that by chance I would meet. I felt in awe and privileged, still do when I am able to adventure! So many young people don’t know and aren’t interested in knowing our planet. Your site, your videos are so important, invaluable really! As nature dies, so do we 😢. The natural world must take precedence, something long forgotten by humans. We are too busy and determined in getting what we want. Uninformed, shortsighted, and possibly extinct?!! Please continue your work. I have subscribed and will share. Thank you sincerely!
Thank you so much for watching! Great that you love our videos! We really care for nature and wild animals and we hope to educate as many people as possible!
I never thought I would tear up watching a badly hurt rattlesnake move across the road. This is so well done, brave to you and Zuzana! Well done
It was very difficult for us to film such scene. We are deeply sad when we see snakes suffer just because drivers don't care. But we had to deliver the feeling with the footage to other so we can hopefully make some difference and change some people's mind. Thank you very much for watching!!!
@@LivingZoology isn't the speed limit very high? That part deeply disturbed me because roadkill always does, in my 23 years I've never hit an animal because I'm super vigilant. People are going to be people though, I'm only now trying to deal with my all consuming anger and hundreds of reasons humanity depresses me.
@@LivingZoology but what you did was a good thing! Thanks for doing that, you could have changed a few minds, maybe even a chain reaction!
Great video! I retired to AZ and have been finding and catching rattlesnakes for a few years now. I hate to see them killed, but that's almost instinctive for people. I just like to catch them and then relocate them to the wild somewhere. Great creatures.
Many thanks!!! Great that you relocate and save rattlesnakes, respect for that!
Best snake documentary I’ve seen in a long time, including the short one I did. Gorgeous cinematography!
Thank you so much!!! Very happy that you enjoyed watching it! Check out this one: ua-cam.com/video/qgcU0CluSpY/v-deo.html
This cinematic gem was so interesting and so well presented by LZ. It is so fascinating how these venomous and non-venomous snakes blend perfectly into their surroundings. The narration from the Irishman was spot on. Snakes are without thumbs but I'm not...2 thumbs up.
Thank you so much for a great and positive comment! :) We are so happy to see that people liked it and enjoyed beautiful snakes in the desert.
Superb presentation. I have been to Arizona and did some hiking there. Before traveling there I read about aboriginals and their folklores ... while seeing this video and beautiful music composed here, it is like I myself is present in such magnificent landscape with those ancient tribes. ❤️ From India
Thank you very much for watching!!! We are very happy that you enjoyed watching our film! :)
Yes, I live here in Arizona and it's common to see snakes. We see Diamondbacks and have seen them from babies to 5-1/2 feet long. I've also seen some Mohave Rattlers and, then, plenty of King snakes, too. Snakes hibernate most of the time and probably only spend 5% of there lives actively hunting, but it has to be easy for them to find prey - can can go into rodent's dens and devour them. I prefer the non-poisonous snakes, because it's easy to step on a snake or get bit climbing rocks, etc. I live in the Superstition Mountains and life thrives around the mountains due to water being retained more in mountainous terrain. We have javelinas, bobcats, coyotes, various deer and a broad variety of birds here. The western cardinal and the Phainopepla bird are common here.

Wow, you live in a beautiful place! I know you really enjoy it there. Regards and have a great time when you go out hiking and climbing!
His video should win an award!👍
Wow, thank you so much!!!
I've been attuned to wildlife documentaries for more than 30 years, and I can say this really is an exceptional piece of work that would rival or exceed, in terms of subject intimacy and camerawork, anything put out by the "bigger" producers. Fantastic job...
Thank you so much, a comment like this means a lot to us! :) We are so happy that you enjoyed watching our documentary.
This is one of the most phenomenal nature videos I have ever seen. Gives every big studio out there a run for their money with gorgeous footage and education. Each snake is nature’s design at its best, the contours and patterns and scale structure mesmerize. Look forward to many more of your wonderful work, your channel needs to be viewed by much wider audience. Will spread the word
Wow, thank you! We really appreciate your support and it is great that you enjoyed watching our documentary! :)
This is the best documentary I’ve seen,I love Your Native American Sound track❣️
Wow, thank you! We are very happy for that! Also great that you like the music we choose! :)
Yes! They usually include area/indigenous tribal music, i enjoy that as well. 😃
Excellent camera angles ... Mind-blowing intro to documentary ... I am in love with this channel 💙💙❤️❤️
Thank you very much! We appreciate it a lot!! ❤️
Thats great news that there are still healthy populations of rattlesnake in Arizona. In the UK the adder population have gone down by at least ninety percent since 1970. I thought this documentary was really informative and enjoyable.
Thank you very much for watching! We were positively surprised by how many snakes are still present in the deserts of Arizona. In Europe, it is a different story, too many people and not enough natural areas.
Great film! thank you! Beautiful snakes, lets hope people can stop killing them on the roads.
Cinematic gold! Proud Arizona here in north central az see rattlers everywhere in the warm months especially after monsoon season!
Thank you so much!!! It is great to hear a positive feedback from people who are from AZ! Yes, after monsoons you have great times - many snakes! We loved that!
The camerawork on this documentary is incredible. Some of the most impressive I have ever seen not just on YT but on commercial TV too. Thank you!
Wow, it is awesome to read this comment! We are trully honored that you love our camerawork! ❤️❤️🐍
This whole time I was getting creative with my imagination thinking that you were using some kind of remote control device to get so uncomfortable close to the snakes and it turns out you guys were right there nose to nose with these creatures. Absolutely amazing. Congrats for a well prepared and performed feature.
Thank you very much for watching! Yes, we come very close and personal with these amazing animals :)
Very nice jobs you all. I was not aware there were so many species of rattlesnake. Loved hearing a bit about your team and the making of this film. Thank you .
Thank you very much! Great that you love our documentary 🙂
Rattlesnakes are also one of my top favorite snakes in the world. Thanks Living Zoology!
Our pleasure! Thank you so much for watching!!!
I'm a fan. This is a well-put-together documentary. I will visit often.
Thank you so much!!! 🙂
Thanks for this huge effort on this film. Also thanks to the biologists who have exposed the behaviors and ecological interactions of the more specialized species that are more difficult to observe. There is always more to learn.
Thank you very much! It was a huge amount of work, but we loved both filming and editing! We both studied zoology we love that we can create our own nature history documentaries and educate many people through UA-cam!
Fantastic works as always you spoil us with all this amazing footage. There is no way I’d sleep in a tent in the rattlesnake desert. 😫 great job saving all the snakes in the roads
Thank you very much for watching!!! :) If you close your tent carefully, no rattlesnake will come inside! ;)
I am seriously fearful of all snakes, but they have their own beauty and they deserve to be respected and unharmed. Their habitat should not be changed, either through urbanization or for agriculture. Great video thanks.
Thank you very much for watching our documentary. It is great that even though you fear snakes, you respect them and understand their importance in nature! Respect.
The young lady is well-spoken and her project reminds me of the work I did as an undergraduate student. I was working for Dr. Hatch at Chadron State College in Nebraska and building habitat for wild turnkeys. We were reintroducing them to the Pine Ridge region of NE and were doing research on the exact foods that they ate, planting those seeds, and creating water holes for them and the other creatures of that area. I was chosen mainly because I worked construction each summer and was handy with explosives to "blow in" water holes in appropriate spots. Habitat creation was verified by collecting turkey 'crops' during hunting season, putting them on dry ice, and then vacuum drying the crops to do seed counts with a viewer. Even then it was hard on the eyes to look thru the viewer for lengthy periods of time. The work she is doing is very important in order that we can share this world with other species in a productive manner. This was a great upload and since I grew up in the Dakotas and Wyoming, I understand the workings of the ecosystems quite well. One of the degrees that I obtained was biology with emphasis on ecosystems. On the ranch the primary rattlesnake we encountered was a prairie rattlesnake and then, when I was a ranger in the Black Hills, it was the timber rattler. Both are quite large snakes because food is plentiful in their habitat.
Thank you for watching! You worked on nice projects! As you say, it is very important to learn how to coexist with wildlife and activities like this are very helpful!
I live in central Arizona near the New Mexico border, the high desert. Local snake population have been pretty much wiped out, indicational gopher snake and some water snakes. These beauties of nature need to be preserved.
You are totally right, snakes are important for ecosystems and need to be protected.
Ya well I live in Tucson and you literally can't walk down a trail on the outskirts of town this time of year without running into atleast ONE rattlesnake... I went out last night and literally seen 3!! I almost stepped on one!!
The music the whole experience. Navajo, Arapaho and Apache indians. You almost expect to see them on the mountains and hilltops. Amazing photography, thank you.
Thank you very much!!! ❤️
Matej and Zuzana ❤ if I had million dollars to donate to you I would...videography, editing and music and background sounds are par excellence !!! Oh the effort and patience it must take to make these out of the world films 👋👋👋👌👌👌❤️
Thank you so much, we really appreciate it! :) You can consider joining our channel as a member to support us with a small amount!
Unbelievable camera work and crew. Even better than documentary that is shown on TV.I could watch those type documentary all day.I mean i do watch your videos during class instead of focusing on math.This channel deserves a million subs

Stunning images of these incredible beings and their habitats! Thanks for providing this content!
Thank you so much for watching!!! We are happy that you enjoy this footage!
The way they stand so high in the strike position looks as its intended, very threatening! I am fascinated by Rattlesnake. The blacktail rattler is beautiful! First time I ever heard of it today! 😁👍🐍
Good point! Rattlesnakes are very cool and their strike positions look great! Thank you for watching!!
A stunningly beautiful documentary. Well done!
Thank you so much! We are working on a new one for several years already, it will be about the most venomous snakes of Africa :)
An awesome documentary and thank you for posting it!
Glad you enjoyed it! Here is our newest documentary if you are interested: ua-cam.com/video/mjWNCWMTBjY/v-deo.html
Beautifully shot and made, fascinating insight into these fantastic animals, lovely production!
Thank you so much!!! It is always great to read a positive review!
Great stuff. I especially liked the speckled rattlesnake...so beautiful. I hope the best for their future.
Thanks for watching! :)
Beautiful documentary. The cinematography and narration are excellent! My admiration for rattle snakes grew after watching this beautiful video. Kudos.
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you very much!
Such outstanding work!!! I hope you all get as much enjoyment out of making this, as we do watching it. The narrators voice reminds me of a guy named Chris Sweet. Thank you for all your awesome effort!
Thank you so much!!! We are happy that you enjoyed watching our documentary!
THE SOUTH West is beautiful and deadly
Absolutely beautiful rattlesnakes and wildlife and what a awesome documentary and lots of information big thumbs up 👍 and it’s amazing what the rattlesnakes do for the ecosystem too
Thank you very much!!! We are very happy that you enjoyed watching! 🙂
what a superb documentary .. well presented and very informative. Thank you for taking the time to share with us. 👍
Thank you very much for watching and visiting our channel!!! :)
such a soothing video. Thanks living zoology
Thank you very much for watching!!!
Well presented.
Love the Native American background music.
The only fault I find is the lack of featuring the beautiful Arizona Black Rattlesnake that inhabits the higher elevations living out its life in the rocky tree-shaded canyons of the mountains that rise high above the floor of the Sonoran Desert. I consider the Arizona Black to be the most beautiful rattlesnake on the planet.
Thank you for watching! The Arizona Black is there only once - dead on the road :( The car killed it just in front of us. We were looking for it for a long time but we were not lucky...
Beautiful photography. The speckled rattlesnakes are amazing looking.
Thank you very much for watching!
Absolutely great work.... stunning footages kudos to the entire team😊
Thank you very much!!! :)
Beautiful,what an awesome documentary.. the best ever seen.
Thank you very much for watching!
Fantastic video on rattlesnakes, and other wildlife and plants of the Southwest. One of my favorite areas in the world that I’ve been fortunate to spend a lot of time in camping, and exploring. If I were to pick a favorite rattlesnake in Arizona it would be the Tiger, or Ridge Nosed.
Glad they talked about all the careless drivers that run over rattle snakes, even harmless ones are targeted. I’ve never understood that mindset, it’s like they’re completely uneducated or something. That might be the case as one day I overheard a conversation in the small town of Wickenburg Arizona, a group of people were talking about how many rattlesnakes they killed on their property in the previous summer. I’d like to believe rattlesnake populations are increasing or at least remaining stable, but at least in northern Arizona that’s not what I’ve been seeing. Everybody kills them, from ATV drivers to horse riders. But at lest there’re safe in the more remote mountainous regions free from cattle and people. Except with incredibly hot burning wildfires, that are undoubtably climate change influenced.
Thank you for the video I’m sure you spent thousands of hours doing this but it sounded like fun.
Thank you!!! We filmed this film one month, most of it we spent in the desert searching for snakes. We also did lot of road cruising. We were also filming in Wickenburg area. Sometimes people told us that they are killing snakes. Hopefully, we can spread the awareness about reptiles with this film.
Living Zoology you did a great job. Just have to figure out how to get Arizona folks to watch it.
I love nature. So Owesome native sound! So real.
Thank you! Cheers!
Outstanding! Great colorful specimens! Beautiful!
Thank you kindly! Yes, these snakes are amazing!
Thanks for coming and doing your wonderful documentaries on our snakes.
Thank you so much! We really enjoyed our time in AZ!
Mr f
I have an innate fear of all things snakes, especially if the ones with venom, but they are truly magnificent creatures who are a key to a healthy ecosystem. This was very informative.
Thank you very much for watching! We try to show that snakes are not so terrifying as most people think. Yes, we need to respect them but if we give them space it is possible to coexist with them.
There are some excellent wild snake education groups on Facebook. We would love to have anyone who appreciates the value of snakes in a healthy ecosystem, and wants to help get past their fears. Wild Snakes; Education and Discussion and LIVE Snakes; Identification and Discussion are 2 of the best snake Education groups on Facebook and there are thousands of members, many others who joined to learn to recognize which snakes are venomous and everything else about wild snakes. They are family friendly and education always helps overcome fear. 🙂💛🖤
I grew up on a cattle ranch at the base of the Huachuca mountains. I've encountered every kind of snake on your list except the speckled rattlesnake and the Gila Monster.
I actually sat on a diamond back when I was a kid as I sat at the base of a tree. I felt something moving under my butt and knew immediately what it was. I don't know why it never bit me but I got lucky. Found a rock rattler in the barn inside a grain bin for the horses one time. More recently my kids were playing hopscotch inside the rungs of a ladder laying down in my garage. I guess parents intuition took over cause I just randomly decided to check it and there was a Mojave resting between the wall and the ladder. Probably would've killed my toddlers if they'd been bitten.
Arizona is truly a very amazing place with such incredible diversity. I especially love Southern AZ as it's home and it's just awesome!!!
This is a great video!!!!!!
Thank you so much for watching our documentary! It is always great to hear a positive review from somebody who is originally from the areas where we have been working :) You have some cool experiences with snakes!
What a superb video that does. Justice to these beautiful creatures
Many many thanks!!! 🙂
Best ever camera work! Enjoyable experience to watch! Kudos to the whole team!! All the best for your future projects!!

Great footage. Excellent documentary on Arizona rattlesnakes. I'm a rattlesnake nut so I thoroughly enjoyed this. Thank you
Thank you very much for watching and visiting our channel!! :)
@@LivingZoology I subscribed as well. Keep up the great work
@LivingZoology A coral snake looks like a kingsnake except for the color sequence. There's a saying to help ID them: "If red touches yellow, it kills a fellow. If red touches black, it's a friend of Jack". This documentary of yours, and it's shorter version, are the best films I've ever seen about snakes and rare lizards in the Sonoran Desert where I have lived for almost 60 years. For example, the Gila Monster footage was both illuminating and rare. The information about rattlesnakes particularly caught my eye as I encounter, on average, about one rattlesnake every two years or so. As I mentioned in the comments section on the short version of this film, we encountered a teeny tiny species of snake called the "Chiricahua Rattlesnake" in the Chiricahua Mountains where it snows every Winter. I love your work. Even the desert birdsong was spot on.
You are right about coral snake, but did you know that it works in the USA, but not in South America? :) Some coral snakes there have the same color sequence as their mimics! We are very happy that you really enjoyed watching our documentaries. We loved our time spent in Arizona - one month almost completely in a beautiful desert landscape, searching for snakes and filming them. Relocating them from the road during the night, etc. We hope to come back in the future.
You reply to each and every comment unlike any other UA-cam channels,thank you very much.
Thank you, we think that answering questions in comments is important for education and also we are very grateful that people write to us after watching our videos 🙂🙏
@@LivingZoology thanks.
Another great video. Keep up the amazing work! 👍
Thank you for watching!!! We were looking forward to release this film! :)
So excited to see TV like this again
Thank you!!! :)
By far the greatest snake documentary I have ever watched! Incredible cinematography on such amazing creatures! What camera setup did you guys use to document this stunning footage?
Thank you so much!!! :) We use Canon GX10 as main camera, then drone.
Thank you for giving me this link awesome documentary its a shame some people dont respect this important species of the animal kingdom. You dont have to love them believe me im the last person that would love them but i also know we need them in our fragile ecosystem. Without them the delicate balance would be in turmoil. They are just as important as any other species.
Glad you enjoyed it!! Thank you for watching our documentary and it is great that you understand that snakes play a vital role in various ecosystems.
I come back to this one, it’s a favorite! Great use of background music and nature too, and especially thanks for using our tribal music. Excellent. Dobros too. It’s all good -~~~~>
Awesome! Thank you! We really appreciate your opinion, it is important for us that you really enjoy watching our films and you like this one :) It also means a lot for us that you think that we have chosen a good music. We were very careful about it and decided to use tribal music. It fits the story very well in our opinion.
@@LivingZoology
I do enjoy them, very much, and the music does really set the scene I love it all. I’m from the southeastern US, but I identify with the southwest in many ways. Thanks again!
@@LivingZoology
May I ask where you got the music - guitar, bass, dobro? It’s beautiful, as are the flutes and drums. I love stark music like that, it is perfect for desert scenes. The deserts almost dictate that one should bring a little something to compliment its beauty, when one comes to visit. /;~).
This was the best presentation regarding the great southwestern deserts and it's non human inhabitants , bar none. Excellent content, narration as well as editing. I've always enjoyed snakes , their colors , the way they survive and their mystic. I hope children all over not just Arizona and New Mexico but the entire country are able to view this . The ignorance of the general population regarding these reptiles is the biggest threat to them. I congratulate you on this fine piece of work and thank you all.
Thank you so much!!! It is really important for us to hear such a positive review!
Another superb video. Beautifully done.

Thank you!
what a documentary ❤️
Thank you so much!
Love ur videos best nature program on UA-cam
Thank you so much!! :)
What a fabulous program! The rattlesnakes with their earthy colours are exquisite. It reminds me how evolution is one of the most amazing things about being alive, and how the different species can thrive only in specific habitats, unless they are able to adapt. If only humans were willing to embrace the timescales that evolution entails, we could learn to live in harmony with nature. Those of us who do needn't be reminded of how instead as a species "we" destroy.
Thank you very much for watching! Our goal was indeed to show how well are rattlesnakes adapted to different habitats and how amazing evolution is! :)
Extremely high quality video as always; excellent work.
N.B. Gila Monster is pronounced "Hila monster"
Thank you very much!!! :) Yes, you are right, we had little troubles with pronunciation as we are from the Czech Republic and our narrator is Irish :)
@@LivingZoology hahaha... for an Irish man he did good... hahaha
@@Michaelkaydee Thank you! :)
Informative and interesting but most of all the photography is spectacular. The landscapes are breath-taking and the close-ups of the snakes remarkable. I have a deep phobia of all snakes but I know this is my problem and not theirs and came to be their advocate when I learned of the rattlesnake round-up. I had to leave the room when the photos of dead and wounded snakes were shown; I could have done without that but the point is well made.
Thank you so much for watching!!! The main purpose of our films is to show people that snakes are beautiful and important animals in nature. So a comment like yours is very important to us!!! :) Thank you for fighting your fear and trying to understand snakes!
Thank you!
You're welcome!

Thank you very much!
This is sooo underrated!! You should have over 1M views on this! Great job, guys!!👍😁👍
Wow, thank you so much for such an amazing comment! :) Hopefully, more people will be interested and it will change their attitude to snakes!
Living Zoology absolutely! I drive a semi and at night after it rains hard here in Colorado, I see so many dead bull/gopher snakes (maybe others) on the interstate dead...it breaks my heart!
@@zippy0099 Those moments when we found dead snakes or other animals were the most difficult. Sometimes the car in front of us killed a rattlesnake on purpose. We must have filmed it so we can show this problem to people around the world and educate about it!
Living Zoology You could do the “fake turtle” trick. Get a rubber snake of actual size and curl it up on the shoulder of a road and set up hidden cameras to capture cars that swerve to run it over.
@@zippy0099 That is a very interesting idea!!! Maybe next time in the USA we can try it!
Krásnej dokument. Perfektní záběry, zajímavé informace. Díky!

Thank you so much!!! We hope that this film can spread awareness about snake mortality on the roads.
The constructive comments are wonderful to read, thank you one and all!
Thank you for watching!!! We love when people write constructive comments :)
Oh, my God, I just came across your channel today and I was amazed by your videos!
I love snakes with all my heart, I want to work with them in the future and this film is just amazing! Such a beautiful shooting, a lot of interesting information. Very high-quality work.
Despite some difficulties with translation (I don't know English very well, I'm Russian :D) I like this movie. There are very few documentaries about reptiles, mostly old ones, translated a long time ago.
Unfortunately, in my country most people hate snakes and kill everything that crawls and moves, even legless lizards and absolutely harmless Grass snakes, Dice snakes and disappearing Smooth snakes And people do not think about the fact that snakes are also an important part of the ecosystem.
Anyway, thank you for this wonderful film, and I will be happy and interested to watch your other videos
