We have tons of expert info on pet lizards, habitat, snakes, turtles, sulcata tortoises, russian tortoise, terrapin, crocodiles, alligators and all sorts of scaly & misunderstood creatures in Florida. We also love to learn from other animal experts, like Brian Barczyk, who are happy to share knowledge about pets. That’s what Kamp Kenan is all about. We love reptiles & science and we know you do too. This is why we do what we do. Animal conservation in the modern world matters, we're out there living it and doing it every day. This is real life, these stories are real, and our sole purpose is education in action for you so that you can learn something new every day and one day perhaps get involved yourself. It's that simple.
Let's create a new generation of educated reptile keepers & animal enthusiasts by spreading the love! - Домашні улюбленці та дикі тварини
Nothing is as relaxing as watching other people work.
The stuff on your canoe is a lichen. Fun fact: lichen is is not just one species, it’s a symbiotic relationship between a fungus and different algae. The fungus is the physical structure you see and the algae provides the food for the fungus. Some scientists argue the the fungus is actually farming the algae.
Occasionally there is a third organism as well, usually a second kid of algae or sometimes cyaneobacteria
Good to know
I find that interesting...nature is truly amazing
It’s also interesting to note since the lichen is not one organism it is not a true autotroph, able to create its own nutrients from inorganic molecules, such as heavy metals, or light. However, we see that lichen can grow on inorganic surfaces such as rocks, or a canoe but this would not happen without the algae’s symbiotic partner fungi protecting it from harsh environments. Since the fungi is a heterotrophs, feeds off organic matter, in this senecio the autotrophic algae, and neither could live without the other, lichen is not a true autotroph.
@@Unknown4465 Man we got some folks with smarts up in here!
The BEST 20ish minutes of my mornings are when I can grab some coffee and watch a kenan vid with the kiddos
Lichen is notoriously hard to identify but without having the organism before me I would say Flavoparmelia caperata, the common greenshield lichen in english, simply because it is so common and has that grey colour. Either that or some other Flavoparmelia or Punctelia or simila genera, species. There are a lot of Lichens out there who look quite smiilar from many different genera. But it definitely is a lichen, a symbiosis between algae and fungus.
Is it edible?
Love lichen, my dad and I have a ton of varieties on our property in the mountains, they're so cool!
Lots of animals eat lichen,I don't know if humans can eat it!
@@lornahayne9181 I know some lichen species are edible, they're even listed in survival guides, but I'm not sure if it applies to all species or only certain species.
Hey Kenan, I remember you saying that you and your family were thinking about getting a pet dog. I don't know which breed you guys are planning on, but perhaps you could train it to sniff out or find the stray tortoises whenever you're having trouble finding them!! It could make work around the Kamp a bit easier, especially when you have to worry about bringing everyone in during the cold snaps or any sort of bad weather.
The best 20ish minutes of my life is when I wake up get a coffee and watch kamp kenan
hey kenan i missed alot of video's because i had personal stuff going on and lost my laptop, but i,m glad to be back and i,m trying to binge watch everything i missed ;)
I put my turtle out in the grass at times and I learned to not take my eyes off it because it will blend in or run away.
Build a a wooden pen for the turtle. Doesn’t have to be super big, just spacey enough for it to move around.
Like Isaac said, it is very risky to let a Turtle roam around the free ground, because rhey can be gone before you realise it haha.
Just thought I'd warn you, though I am guilty of having done it myself :0
Yes also they move faster then we think
They have chicken runs, rabbit runs, or cat runs you can buy to help if you aren't handy enough to build from scratch
I had a 89 Samurai!! Hard top! 92-to 97. My Kayak lived on the top every weekend. I just left it up there... good memories!
@kampkenan it's very freshing to see in morning Kamp kenan continuing to grow and thrive with all the inhabitants and local neighboring wildlife in a single ecosystem coming live every day!!
Good morning everyone.20s here.cold. hope you all.are having a safe good day.
Hey Kenan, you found your tortoise 🐢! Silly little girls! I Love Lumpy! I think because sometime I feel like Lympy!🤪
Another great video...you got a lot of work ahead of you! I think I would rather be helping you then having to shove snow ❄️ her in jersey!
Stay safe!
God Bless! 🙏
I saw a sulcata mounting a leopard tortoise in Botswana. Our guide was very perplexed as to why it was happening. We explained to her that sulcatas will hump rocks, shoes, leopard tortoises, etc.
Kenan and tortoises in the morning. Is there a better way to wake up?
You should do a time-lapse of the canoe power washing.
Those tortoises are beautiful hello from Texas
Always good to mend fences and keep track of your critters folks 😉 kenans got a messy boneyard, I’ve got a junk drawer disaster!
Kenan “Someone in the comments is a fungi”
Me: “ ahem! or fun girl! “
So looking forward to seeing the redesign of some of the property, getting those vision cages moved and utilized, that’ll be cool beans
I love your work I need regular videos
you're awesome duuude glad to see you taking such good care of these amazing creatures!! 👏🙏🐢🖖
Nice work Kenan your animals are very lucky cheers from down under 🦘🦘🦎
Instead of just using boards for the fence boundaries, railroad ties are much more sturdy. I use them for the fencing on the farm. They last a long time too!
It’s cool seeing the back half of the property and how you have everything laid out from a different angle. Shows how much room you still have to expand.
Suzuki Samarai, one of the most tipped over vehicles made in "recent" years. Also super fun to take out off reading, it pretty much fits in quad tracks.
my uncle in Puerto Rico has a Suzuki samurai and its awesome like a tiny jeep perfect for Puerto Rico
I agree with Grogu. It's the time to spend and learn over coffee in the morning. This is by far, my favorite channel. Thank you Kenan! Love all your beautiful creatures.
They are so beautiful
Can you show the difference between the Leoprocada and Radiated tortoises? Are their sizes different along with the pattern?
“He drinks, he walks, he eats……he’s Lumpy,”. Lol, that was a great sentence, Kenan! 🐢❤️🐢
We had a male Sulcata named Lumpy as well! Surrendered him to somebody who could take much better care of him when he grew too large
Hello from -46F winnipeg Canada
Gotta love lichen
Thanks for another episode kenan 😉
♥️♥️ love from south africa ♥️♥️
Hide and seek champ, she was super cute. New enclosure is looking good. Love that i can watch with the kiddos, they are currently "hiding like a tortoise"....I'll find them at some point...Thanks!
Love your videos, hope someday I can do reptile conservation like you do. Live you passion on what you do. Anyway I'm from Philippines! Sharawawt boss!!
hello great video
If only i lived in Florida coming from chicago the windy city would love an out door set up for my spur and niles
Lichen is basically land coral, very pretty stuff
biologically that's super wrong but I know what you mean :D
always love spending my early morning coffee with you Kennan! Cheers
17:20 It's not typically how new species are created but it can certainly happen.
I was told by a plant pathologist that lichen only grows where the air is purest.
Hi from London. I love hearing about your future enclosures and plans! Cant wait to see how much your land changes over the next year!
It is lichen. Normally lichen is a sign that your air is nice and clean and full of oxygen. Great video per usual
Lichen if I remember my David Attenborough doco info correctly is a symbiotic relationship between fungi and algae and it is so close that individual relationships are classed as individual species of lichen.
Looks like your neighbor has a backyard full of new plants and fruit trees.
Kenan has that great looking yard and yet leaves his crap for neighbor to look at. LOL
@@5150hammerhead Aww every working farm has a "boneyard"
Maybe u can get plywood and screw it on the sides of the bottom of the fence
I wish we could be there when they do
Keep up the awesome videos 😊
Lichen symbiotic relationship bacteria and plant...... Natural. You ever top off that pond with the weather vane wind powered water pump?
Like you it's a FUNgi!
Yeah its Lichen on the canoe
Hi kenan
Hehe I still have a suzuki samurai longbody here in Germany.
The scientific name for the matter on the canoe is .. .. green stuff 🙈😂🤣
Right the first time Kenan Its lichen
17:10 Hybrid and intergrade dose play its part in evolution, example the African golden wolf-(Canis lupaster) use to be place as a African race of Eurasian jackal wolf-(Canis aureus), but recent DNA data put the African golden wolf-(Canis lupaster) as its own species. And that they are the past result of hybridizing along time ago, having 72% Gray wolf-(Canis lupus) DNA and 28% Ethiopian wolf-(Canis simensis) DNA ancestry.
She kept poking her head in & out, How cute is she- she always tried to creep off without you noticing lol
Yes that's Lichen!
So cool
Reptile keeping before dogs and cats. I would love to here more about this. I couldn’t find any info line, I would love if this was true but
Lychins, not sure of the spelling but sure of the identification.
They are lichens and they grow where the air is healthy so you have healthy air!!
As you mentioned early in the video, hybrids are usually infertile. Later you speculated that maybe hybridization leads to evolution. By my biology education (several years old and possibly outdated) the definition of a species is that they can make viable offspring. (viable in this context meaning that they could reproduce themselves). So a horse and donkey are different species because their offspring, the mule, is infertile. So I'm thinking that if the lepracottas turn out to be viable we would have to say that they are divergent lines of the same species in the first place. It's the divergent lines, caused by environmental or other external factors, that the theory of evolution pins as the cause of new species evolution. But first the microevolution would give rise to same species dimorfism, and then to subspecies which would still be able to make viable offspring. At some point way down the line the subspecies would become so different that their genes would no longer be compatible enough to make viable offspring.
So that was a little more rambly and disjointed that it wasn't my head but I think you understand what I'm trying to say
Thank you for all that you do we love your Channel
Mule males are infertile, as is the case with most hybrids but not all. So breeding a male mule to a female mule = no offspring, due to the male. However if you back breed a female mule to a parent species like a male donkey, this can and has resulted in a 75%donkey/25%horse hybrid offspring. Hybrid males was the problem when they was creating the Bengal cat and Savannah cat, early in the crossing the hybrid males was infertile, so they had to keep back breeding the hybrid females to the pure domestic cat, till the male was fertile at about F5-F6. So being that Lumpy is a pure male parent species, to the hybrid females. There is a fair chance of 25%/75% offspring.
It's lichen
looking good, like the short beard!!!
Great video! When do you plan on getting your dog?
She’s saying “thanks Dad for getting me out of that tough spot
Good Luck with the Leopracatas! Wouldn't babies be grand!
Quick question, being in sunny Florida do you need to hibernate your torts, or they not the hibernating type?
Probably a stupid question, but the sulcata that you moved back, why was she bobbing her head up and down? It wasn't dramatic but noticable. I was thinking maybe she got scared and got the hiccups??!!?? Lol someone lmk plz 😁🐢🐢💜
My tortoises are always bobbing. I believe they are communicating with some sort of low frequency grunts.
Hi Kenan do you keep any Greek Spur Thighed Torts?
Isn’t that a ground moss?
Do you plan on getting a bigger property?
Yay science rant time! Lichen breaks down minerals in rocks, particularly carbon, calcium, salts, and most importantly, nitrogen compounds. It can't do that without that complex symbiosis everyone is talking about on here. Lichen is really an amazing symbiotic organism, for being so simple. It uses mycelium from the fungus part to break down the rock and feed nutrients in microtubules to the algal layer above it, that algae uses photosynthesis to absorb sunlight and digest the trapped compounds absorbed from the rock. Like we have organs in our bodies that cooperate to make us survive, lichen is made up of those two parts that function like organs, keeping the organism alive. Lichen is some of the simplest life on this planet. It just goes to show how simple organic life evolved from a similar plan.
Warning to Kenan, most lichens aren't even remotely edible and are extremely toxic to most animals over time. Some animals, like various arthropods, consume it in order to concentrate and build up these toxins that they use to create poisons used ward off predators. In my personal opinion, tortoises really shouldn't eat it. They will, though, and it isn't understood how harmful it can be to them because tortoises are incredibly hearty animals with high tolerance to many kinds of poisons and toxins. They don't know any better. They are basically toddlers who will put whatever they want in their mouths, like Kenan's shoes for example. Not delicious. The tortoises are just so hearty that not much seems to phase them. I'm not sure what prolonged ingestion can do to a tortoise, but who knows? They seem healthy and happy enough to me and Kenan does a fine job of keeping poisonous plants and such off his property. Most of it is obvious, save for the water hemlock in the drainage near the front of his driveway in last spring's videos and the jimsonweed in the open field next to that "boneyard" during that summer's videos. That's the plant that puts out bell-shaped flowers that are pretty big and don't look like columbine. Those are some seriously nasty plants, but they are pretty easy to kill with just a bit of ammonia, if you don't want to use common weed killer.
Kenan my Red Foot I am telling you my boy has 750 sq feet and I always think I know where he is but I get surprised all the time. I love Scarlet he is so happy and yes want to go outside at 30 degrees I Charlotte. Creatures of habit.
Kenan, it's quite the opposite. Two different species breeding and making offspring isn't creating a new species. It's signifying that the two different species are closely related and relatively recently split from each other. It could be looked at as going back in time and seeing their last common ancestor.
How do you deal with hurricane season?
You know more than you know! It is a lichen!
All I want is a retic or Burmese that stays corn snake size now I'm thinking I'm going to have to wait 1000 years Haha x
Second is better then 3rd lol
Now that we know genetics we can domesticate a species fairly rapidly. Reptiles are already domesticated. Heavenly bred ones like corn snakes and leopard geckos have changed somewhat from their wild condition.
Im shook, how can he walk past that board at 12:58 and not lift it to look for a snake.
bothers my brain, haha
What is a leopracata tortoise? Is this a cross between a salcata and a leopard tortoise? I have a leopard tortoise
Take marine grade wood cause it’s the strongest. Coat it in epoxy. Animal safe and water proof wood for 20+ years. No more wood rotting.
How is Bobby Kenan, I've been worried about him?🌈
30 likes in 50 seconds. daaamn bro
Funfact: lichen is a symbiosis between algea und fungi :)
I have a Suzuki samurai when I first got it it was a turd now it's just as fast as a vette or my be faster than a vette now
❤👍
rename that little one Houdini
its just a type of moss on the kanu. i allways asked me the same untill i asked a gardener
I have snakes, lizards, fish, dogs, birds and I spend my life looking for one damned DESERT TORTOISE teenager who lives inside. When she disappears, there's just no telling! Last time it was under the bookcase in the guest room. Why, Clarissa, why?!
2:00 Looks like lichan to me, but not a species I am familiar with. Since I live in Europe I am not too well versed in American species.
What happened to Angel the white albino tortoise
Update on the python situation?!?
Is that weed on the canoe?
Hybrid actually can breed
Is Leopracata a hybrid lineage?
Yes, leopard tortoise and sulcata :)
It’s a hybrid between leopard tortoise and a sulcata tortoise.
Thank you everyone, google seemed more keen on selling me one than telling me what a Leopracata was. :P
It's calcium on your boat
I would say most mammal hybrids are infertile but it's been proven most almost all reptile hybrids are in fact fertile I can name several python, boa, and colubrid hybrids that are and will produce viable offspring
She’s cute
