I’m very happy to say that our local zoo (I live in Central Illinois) has a red wolf exhibit and is in involved in the breeding program that is trying to increase the wolf population, reintroduce them back into the wild, and keep them from extinction. The zoo is also involved with several other breeding programs to try and save endangered animals. Snow Leopards, Red Pandas, various birds and amphibians…they even had the births of baby Cottontop Tamarins (a South American rainforest species) this year.
It's only recently that I've learned that garter snakes are mildly venomous. When I was a kid, growing up in the 1970s, every expert in the world taught us that they were nonvenomous.
Yes. I grew up eating squirrel gravy, with squirrel meat in it, with my grandparents who lived in the mountains of North Carolina. Possum, raccoon and turtle doves were also on the menu. The forest was their supermarket. I went squirrel hunting quite often along with rabbit hunting. And don't you find it curious that when someone asks you "How does your chicken taste?" No one answers, "Well, it tastes a little bit like chicken turtle (or rattlesnake or .....fill in the blank." But having gone through a few honest to goodness survival courses, I've devoured everything from snakes to grub worms to grasshoppers, to ants to rabbit eyeballs (I suggest not chewing them. Just swallow them whole. They are quite salty) and various types of vegetation, anything can taste good when you're hungry enough. Oh, and I've seen 3 panthers here in Florida on three separate occasions. Great reaction guys. Some of these were new to me.
You remind me not to go on a picnic with you my friend.😂 Yeah, I think I'm safe because unless I'm stranded on a desert island and run out of coconuts and bananas any of the above I'm not eating.😂😂😂
We had a garter snake in my fifth grade classroom, called Isabel. It ate crickets and worms, and was a good introductory snake for children. I've encountered plenty (for me) of snakes in the woods of Kentucky. None are aggressive, in my experience. Leave them alone and you'll have no trouble.
"He's got his tits out." "Kentucky Fried Turtle." You two crack me up every single day.😂😂 There's also the American crocodile. Although technically not only found in the US but here it's only found in the southernmost of Florida. It lives in the Everglades with alligators and bull sharks. Nature has a brilliant way of keeping a perfect balance when left alone. Unfortunately, that's why so many are on the brink of extinction because humans don't leave nature alone.
Remember when I was a kid my neighbor caught a big turtle and made soup. Was pretty good. If it wasn't for zoos and the internet most Americans would never know these either.
The Florida Panther is a distinct species because it varies from other panthers by a few genes, or the order of those genes. I THINK there MiGHT be an ALMOST discernible difference in their appearance because of this, but I also think there might not be. I live next to their native habitat, and they’ve been mostly wiped out by cars during the past 50 years. We built highways/roads right through that habitat. Since then, we modified many roads to include TUNNELS so they could safely pass underneath, which resulted in totally questionable success: Panthers can’t read the signs, so they don’t know they should use the tunnels.
Howdy from Texas. Being from the South Eastern area of Texas living in the Piney Woods and swamplands here.i see a great deal of wildlife here. Alligators, Bald Eagles, multiple bird species, etc. But one animal only found on the North American continent that the creators of this video failed to mention is that of the American Alligator Gar. It's a notable fish species that has changed very little, if at all, from it's prehistoric ancestors found in fossils. Alligator Gar can grow to well over three hundred pounds, the record recorded Alligator Gar so far being 327 pounds, and can live longer than a hundred years. Their prehistoric interlocking armor plated scales are all but impregnable to even the sharpest of knives. In fact their naturally sharp edged scales are so tough and durable that the native Tribes, in this and other areas in this wide region of the Southeastern United States , often used their individual scales for arrow heads and blades. As well they took advantage of the toughness and durability of the scales of the American Alligator Gar to their own advantage. By covering their war shields with the hides of alligator Gar making them virtually impenetrable to arrows and spears of their enemies. Although these Fish can be immense and very intimidating with their mouths full of dagger like teeth. There has never been a single recorded incident of any attacks against humans by any alligator gar. However they can be quite dangerous when humans attempt to handle them. Because they are very strong their scales are very sharp, and they will not hesitate at all to bite in self defense often shredding Arms and legs of anyone within range of their heads , tails and bodies. Not to mention that their meat is lees like that of a fish and closer to that of a Lobster or tender chicken meat. But with a much different and milder flavor. They are a unique and fascinating species that definitely should have been included in this video.
The tastes like chicken thing is hilarious 🤣🤣🤣 There's a running joke in my house about 'tasting like chicken'. Hubby has been saying it for years about absolutely anything that ISN'T chicken, because according to him chicken doesn't have a flavour unless you drown it in marinade. He even included it in his speech at our wedding. After downing his glass of bubbly, instead of saying 'cheers', he said 'tastes like chicken'. To be fair, I think he was hammered at that point 😂😂😂
I wonder what happened to #23? Maybe it went extinct? Prairie Dogs are indeed a cross between Meercats & squirrels. Well, at least their traits. Meercats will acclimate humans rapidly even standing on them to get a better look. Prairie Dogs don't get used to us that fast but are easily approachable within a few encounters. People have found out recently they have one of the most complex languages too.
Quite a number of years ago … probably 40+, I was sitting by my living room window when I saw a good-sized snapping turtle paddling serenely down our road. My brain pinged. Hadn’t my husband mentioned turtle soup? I ran out to harvest the turtle that I expected to act like a turtle, but it acted more like T-Rex on a skateboard, I ran back to collect a box, a screen, a few bricks and a rake. After what would have been an entertaining incident, nobody laughing was close by. I put the turtle in the bottom of the box, put the screen over it and weighed it down with the bricks. I added a note: “Here’s your snapping turtle. Now what?”
Retired nurse in Florida here. Most rattlesnakes wont kill an adult but the effects can be nasty. The tissues necrosis and younger & smaller and/or older people can lose limbs and chunks of flesh. But the anti-venom is readily available especially in more rural areas of states. We also have good air ambulance coverage.
Actually 2 food companies used to make and sell turtle soup. Campbell's and Heinz canned and sold turtle soup until the 1960's. When I was a kid I lived at a lake where at the one end there was a swampy area where very large snapping turtles thrived. A resident of the lake used to trap and sell them to Chinese restaurants in Manhattan. And yes, turtle does taste like chicken. Yes, turtle soup was once a thing, as was hunting squirrels, rabbits, groundhogs, raccoon and deer for food. Squirrel and rabbit rather tastes like chicken also. 🙂
Other animal species y'all don't know are the Gray fox, ring-tailed cat(not a cat),southern and northern flying squirrels,the fisher,ocelot,the Delmarva fox squirrel, the spotted skunk, the hognose skunk, and the common striped skunk, the woodcock,the black tailed deer, mule deer etc.. these are just a few
Florida Panthers are mostly in the reserve that melds into the Everglades. They tried putting them back up here in NE Florida but it was not successful. So South Florida.
Live in Florida The pond next to me is loaded with chicken turtles and gators The fl. panther is low in numbers because of being hit by cars and has lost a lot of their land to development. We live next to a preserve so we see a wide range of animals daily The more interesting turtle is the Florida Soft Shell turtle
I live where there are rattlesnakes. A bite from one is a medical emergency, but its highly unlikely you'll die from one, at least in America thanks to antivenom. For those who do not get antivenom, like snake handling preachers, the fatality rate is much higher, like 10%-20%. Regardless, you're gonna have a bad few days of pain and discomfort.
You think those turtles are good, just wait until you taste the prairie dog 🤪. I have caught several short nose gar while fishing for catfish. They put up a huge fight, it's a large fish, I always turn them loose though.
When I caught my first one after moving to Florida 30 years ago, I thought I caught the missing link between fish and gator. Scared the shit out of me.
Hey there at Brit pops reacts it's me I'm back. Say reaction request straight from yours truly Cathedral pictures plus by kuribo98 fan made animation music
That California condor is one of the ugliest things I’ve ever seen. I hope I never cross its path. I’ve tried and cook squirrel meat before, my former neighbor has brought it to us several times. I don’t know how to tell him that it’s not our family’s favorite, I mean we barely eat turkey.

During mating season in Fort Myers, gators sometimes fall asleep on people's porches 🐊

A book you both might enjoy is by Douglas Adams called Last Chance to See. Funny & poignant.

Squirrel gravy usually has the Squirrel fried up like chicken, then finished in a gravy. My dad used to hunt and eat squirrel.

The Florida panther is a species of cougar. They're smaller than the cougars found elsewhere.
I've been told squirrels taste like chicken and yes, rural people eat squirrels.
They did not mention Hellbender salamander found in the Appalachian mountains. They get very large 3-5 pounds 12-30 inches long. AKA snot otter.
Florida Panthers are mostly in the reserve that melds into the Everglades. They tried putting them back up here in NE Florida but it was not successful. So South Florida.
Hummingbirds live in all states of the US except Hawaii. They migrate for the winter.
Where did you go that they had squirrel gravy? I've never seen squirrel on any menu anywhere. But my mom did say she'd eaten it when she was young.

You ought to do a computer search for sage grouse dancing.
The American alligator is also found in northern Mexico.
People where I live will fight you if you're hogging all the Squirrel gravy.
The Alaska marmot is related to the groundhog.

There are so many more species they didn't even talk about that are found here and in South America but native to North America.
Ive eaten turtle and it does taste like chicken! 😊
