Great documentary! I have lived in the desert of Arizona for 38 years yet I learned several new facts from your documentary. One thing you didn't mention is that ringtail cats can live deep underground in abandoned mines, in complete darkness. They feed on bats, which they hunt from ledges using only sound. They are truly amazing little creatures!
Thank you for that very interesting Ringtail information. Certainly knew they are called Miners' Cats but did not know that they eat Bats inside of mines. Amazing!
@@Juscz That is the place I have most often seen them. Look at the Abandoned and Forgotten Places channel on TH-cam. Gly caught a great shot of a Ringtail on a ledge 400' into an old mine in the Granite Wash Mts. A good-sized population of RIngtail Cats live in the old mines in the Little Harquahala Mts., around seven miles South of Salome. If you wait quietly you can sometimes see them scurrying in and out of the mineshafts at sunset. Totally cute little buggers! I don't think it would be possible to keep one as a pet, though. Like racoons, they are way just too hyper!
This was great thank you so much really enjoyed it.
Glad you found it so enjoyable!
19:36 DO NOT HANDLE GILA MONSTERS!
I've lived the Sonoran desert for 45 years and spent a lot of time in the desert. I have seen one... just one...Gila Monster. Was sunning itself in the early morning on a rock outcrop in the morning when I was quail hunting. It was at the end of the hunting season so, early spring. I stopped in my tracks about 15 feet away and just looked at it ...in amazement. After about 30 seconds it seems to notice and made eye contact for a brief moment, the slowly made it's way into cracks in the rocks.
That, was good enough for me. I went on my way. A beautiful creature that just doesn't need a human pestering it and...I knew all about their bite! I was just happy to see it!
So please, let them be! They will leave you alone as well. They want nothing to do with us and will do just that unless you're dumb enough to mess with it. So... Just don't. After all...you are in THEIR home!
39:05 Love roadrunners! They seem to dig humans as well.
I have seen them hand feed from humans. But, if you are so lucky, please don't give them just meat like we would eat. Best thing for them is like frozen (thawed) mice or lizards. Just lean meat can actually be harmful for them. They need ALL the nutrients in a dead animal! 😂
Brilliant
One of the best videos on your channel!
Wow, thanks!

@@Juscz Your welcome, you are such a professional!
Can you make a video about wood bison national park in Canada. I know it is very far from where you are now, but please I would be so pleased if you make a video about the wildlife of wood bison national park at least 2 months from now
@@maloukadbouk8905 , I just looked up on the internet Wood Buffalo National Park in Canada. It seems amazing. I did not know of this park before you alerted me to it. Perhaps my wife and I can get out there in the next year or two. Would love to do a video about it.
@@Juscz Thanks, that would be very kind and nice of you
We've appreciated your bringing awareness about species worldwide. So much in our own backyard as well ! Thank you !
Glad you enjoyed it, Nancy.
much more watchable/listenable at 1.25X speed, unfortunately that means the wildlife footage is sped up too!
Awesome video!!
I still think they should've named our baseball team The Gila Monsters...
Couldn't agree more on the Diamondbacks being called the Gila Monsters!
Just going off the color schemes for merchandise I thought Gila Monsters opened up a ton of $$... 😎
Eh, people back east would never get it right. They would say it with a hard G instead of an H....lol.
Diamondbacks is actually brilliant. Snakes are scary cool and they play on a baseball "diamond".... So...baseball players are...diamond backs...lol.
🇧🇷👍Nice!
great stuff. you sound great, but u can stop the over-pronouncing effort. just be yourseelf, john.
Thanks for the tip!
