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.

Where can i buy it, ? Even a small
Great video! Thank you. I’m trying to understand posterior / anterior directions
Which species of Diptera was the first one?
thanks bro
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.
Loved this content! Keep it coming.
its an earthworm... but underwater... and peanut?!?!? damn nature crazy xd
good video, it was great👌
Beautiful information 🙌
What a beautiful walk! And a wonderful well organized collection! I will explore your website. Keep going!!! 😊🐚😊
Fascinating, nature is a wondrous thing...Thanks
Amazing! Can I use this video for my artwork footage?
Can it swims?
My favourite limpet-like is a keyhole very boring and white hit it with a blacklight tho and it glows pink
✅ clean audio ✅ good production value ✅ not ai this channel deserves more views
How amazing!🎉
Tusk shells are amazing mollusks and this footage is amazing!🎉
nice
I genuinely love the videos from this channel!! As a budding ecologist, id love to make fun informational videos like this someday and seeing other people do it so well is heartening. Cant wait to watch this channel grow!!
The footage you got of the larval marbled having a snack was incredible! Nice work.
Thank you!
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.
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.
@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.
his lips tho
Ohh cool
I recently learned that a fully grown adult won’t die if bitten, rather have a couple of days feeling terrible… it could kill a kid tho

Are these tigar salmanders?
No, I didn’t find any tiger salamanders on this hike. The spotted salamanders and marbled salamanders are closely related to tiger salamanders though as they are all mole salamanders!
Keap going bro
Big fan of this mate
Thanks! Glad you like it!
Wery nice
Nice I like these informative videos.Keep up the good job
Glad you like them!
Hi! This is really amazing video and absolutely we need this!. Thank you very much. I had also some practised on mgcl2 but I didn't get success 😅 I was a little bit impatient after applied it. I will try next time while watching you.
Cool video(s) man. I only recently started herping again after getting back into the natural world. Videos like these are useful for knowing what to look for when I go out in my area
they dont sell them anymore so I've been hunting in ohio and I guess I am just not good at it. lol :/
I have female lighting whelk
omg i have a prac exam coming up and we have to use dichot keys to identify shells and other things and I was struggling so much with the shells but this video has finally made me understand. thank youuuu
Good luck on your test!
I can’t believe I found your channel. Total gold mine! Never stop posting! Don’t get discouraged by the lack of views, they will come!
Excellent footage and editing!
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)
They look like tiny arthropleura!
They do look a little prehistoric!
These animals are super fascinating! Thank you very much for sharing all of this wonderful footage with us. Your narration is great as well.
can confirm, lots of salamander eggs in shallow streams right now
What equipment did you use to take the underwater shots? It looks incredible!
Great vid! New sub here.
What happened downstairs in the lobby?
Nice channel to stumble upon. Nice footage and format!
I love those salamander one of my favorite new friend here
This video is very calming, while the salamanders are hopelessly cute. Thank you very much for creating this!
underrated
I think i was a salamander in a past life
