Some field herping footage from 2011 summer. Snakes, salamanders, turtles, frogs, toads, crazy drivers, and loads of fun.

Prairie Rattlesnake tagged a rabbit. Doubt he was thinking it was a
meal.

Kid picks up a wild hissing bullsnake. Most wild snakes will act defensive when they feel threatened. We've come across 1,000's of snakes in the wild. The only ones that act defensive are the ones that feel threatened. This bullsnake was in the middle of a busy dirt road, so we stopped to move him off. Even with all the hissing and bluffing, my son was able to pick him up and move him off the road with no aggression or bites from the snake.

The truth of the matter is that all snakes will bite if they feel threatened enough, you would too if you were a snake. More often than not, if you're calm around a snake, they don't feel threatened. This guy felt threatened because we were taking video and I was standing behind the camera.

How to catch a turtle. Spiny Softshell in 100 degree heat.

These genera of wasps are called tarantula hawks due to their hunting of tarantulas as food for their larvae.
In terms of scale, the wasp's sting is rated at the top of the Schmidt Sting Pain Index, second only to that of the bullet ant.[2] Because of their extremely large stingers, very few animals are able to eat them; one of the few animals that can is the roadrunner.

The rattlesnakes were out basking near their dens on a warm spring day in Colorado.

The mystery was solved. Couldn't figure this one out, but thanks to our trusty AZ field guide, we figured it out.
