The Desert of Rattlesnakes - full nature documentary, venomous rattlesnakes of Arizona

Can't begin to imagine how the narrator would pronounce 'jojoba'. Nevermind, yes I can.

I subscribed big bro, love your teams beautiful cinematic photography!

I live in Fort McDowell, I started harvesting the snakes I find squished on the road. They’re hides r pretty durable but we always salvage wut we can. Great video.

Great documentary. Forgot the Arizona Black. Crotalus Cerberus though

❤

Great

Beautiful,what an awesome documentary.. the best ever seen.

Does gopher snakes are always mean

Matej and Zuzana ❤ if I had million dollars to donate to you I would...videography, editing and music and background sounds are par excellence !!! Oh the effort and patience it must take to make these out of the world films 👋👋👋👌👌👌❤️

I live outside Phoenix and spend lots of time in the Superstitions - my favorite place on earth!

Phenomenal intro!

Fascinating animal species

Love this video. I'm new to Arizona, & this is a great way to identify these Beautiful dangerous snakes. Thank You for making this informitive video. Btw, I hate seeing them run over too. 😊🐍❤

A stunningly beautiful documentary. Well done!

Who is the Narrator?

These Snake's are cute and give you a warning....... unlike our Brown's and Taipan's

Without question your video presentations on the diversity of the snake species is right at the top level. The quality of your videos plus the outstanding commentary is second to none! Thank you for your dedication to one of mother nature`s most fascinating creatures.

Why title the video venomous rattlesnakes of Arizona?? Is that to differentiate from the non venomous rattlesnakes that live in Arizona?!

I love all animals and love snakes of all types. They only bite humans due to them being messed with or accidentally stepped on. People need only make a noise and all snakes will avoid us. They aren’t stupid. Humans are stupid. Many years ago I saw part of a documentary when this gun toting mini brain went out shooting rattle snakes. I only wish he got himself bloody bitten.

I really could n t care less

Nosavia que El cantil tenia cascabel 😱

magnificent, one of your most beautiful films, a perfect soundtrack, great balance between nature sounds, ethnic music and commentary.
Even if I know them for the most part, it just lacks the scientific names in the subtitles.

Gila monster is pronounced “heela” monster.

Enjoy your work but you neglected a research basic: checking pronunciation of names. The cactus is Sah-WAH-ro and Gila is pronounced HEE-lah whether referring to the reptile, the river, the county or the Native American tribe.

Your photography is as beautiful as the place you were in.

Do your homework first. Most of the animals seen in your video were named by indigenous people, then, later, Spanish-speaking settlers. Gila monster... pronounce it HEE' LA ... not "gilla." Saguaro cactus ... say SUH WHA' ROE. That green stuff you eat with Mexican food is called WHA KUH MO' LAY. The letter "g" does not have a hard sound; the GU combination is pronounced like WH in English.

gila is pronounced Heela. just a heads up.

Exterminate these disgusting craps!!!!

💕FATHER💕 made them..😁

I'd like to see a Sonoran Coral Snake at 1 meter. Lol. WTF? They are small about 15 inches long. Mojave Rattlesnakes are about 1 meter. And Gila is pronounced with an H. Where you from? Pakistan?

My best friend for ten years was a Mojave Rattlesnake named Stanley. I kept him in a 40-gallon breeder next to my bed and fed him Wood Rats. He was a great snake. I had to suddenly relocate and released him about 6 years ago. I wonder how he's doing?

This is a fantastic piece of work.

More "evolution" nonsense.......thumbs down!

Saguaro cactus grow in Mexico, Jalisco Zacatecas, and more Mexican states. It really grows huge and produces a fruit.

According to the title, this is labeled a "documentary". But, it quickly morphed into a mythological film touting "evolution", which is anything but scientific. There goes much of the credibility. Sad.

This was the best presentation regarding the great southwestern deserts and it's non human inhabitants , bar none. Excellent content, narration as well as editing. I've always enjoyed snakes , their colors , the way they survive and their mystic. I hope children all over not just Arizona and New Mexico but the entire country are able to view this . The ignorance of the general population regarding these reptiles is the biggest threat to them. I congratulate you on this fine piece of work and thank you all.

And what an extraordinary piece of evolution snakes are... Amazing... Man needs to protect and preserve them and the unique habitat they live in...

Is there no way at all to avoid/avert possible road accidents that lead to injury or death to the snakes? In this digital and technological age, can we not find some mechanism to help drivers know well ahead that a snake is on the road to avoid hitting it?

Human hunters did not cause the extinction of the large mammals. That is a lie. The changing climate & vegetation caused the extinction. Garbage documentary.

WHATS WITH ALL THE F...KIN AMAZON BIURD CALLING THROUGHOUT THIS ENTIRE VIDEOS...IF THIS IS ALL ABOUT THE ARIZONAS!!!

Gila is pronounced heela not gilla

25 years agp, I used to vacation in southern Arizona with just a tent, a cooler, a camera and a snake hook. Well had to have some sunblock, sunglasses and baking soda for all the killer bee stings.

The young lady is well-spoken and her project reminds me of the work I did as an undergraduate student. I was working for Dr. Hatch at Chadron State College in Nebraska and building habitat for wild turnkeys. We were reintroducing them to the Pine Ridge region of NE and were doing research on the exact foods that they ate, planting those seeds, and creating water holes for them and the other creatures of that area. I was chosen mainly because I worked construction each summer and was handy with explosives to "blow in" water holes in appropriate spots. Habitat creation was verified by collecting turkey 'crops' during hunting season, putting them on dry ice, and then vacuum drying the crops to do seed counts with a viewer. Even then it was hard on the eyes to look thru the viewer for lengthy periods of time. The work she is doing is very important in order that we can share this world with other species in a productive manner. This was a great upload and since I grew up in the Dakotas and Wyoming, I understand the workings of the ecosystems quite well. One of the degrees that I obtained was biology with emphasis on ecosystems. On the ranch the primary rattlesnake we encountered was a prairie rattlesnake and then, when I was a ranger in the Black Hills, it was the timber rattler. Both are quite large snakes because food is plentiful in their habitat.

Amazing documentary, great photography and a very apt soundtrack.

Where is the Arizona Black Rattler?

If I'm correct that first Rattler at the beginning look like a red Western!

Beautiful but every Spanish word was mispronounced, like gilla instead of hela. I turned off the sound and watched the beautiful photography. I too live in Tucson and appreciate our desert.

Your video is very informative, but you made an erroneous statement about the Sidewinder. It is not limited to only moving in "sidewinder" mode. It is fully capable of slithering along like other snakes. I have seen it shown in both modes in documentaries from years ago. And I have seen one in the wild myself. It both, slithered and went into "sidewinder" mode at will.
You wouldn't say a Cheetah can only run a the claimed 65mph. It is fully capable of walking or stalking it's prey
Your coverage of rattlesnakes and their habitat is very broad. But you left out one very interesting rattlesnake I happened upon myself accidentally. The red rattlesnake. After watching your video, I came across some info online on red diamondback rattlesnakes. But there was a lot of mixed and untrue info throughout their video, so I can't recommend it as an added source.
The red rattlesnake I came across - the diamondback marking seemed absent or at least very faint. Such rattlesnakes seem very rare. I could find very little reference to them after finding the one I did. A local State biologist loaned me his two volume set of references on rattlesnakes. It only mentioned that the red ones were very rare and quite docile, yet dangerous if abused. But no photos.
I asked all the old timers in this area, if they had ever seen a red rattlesnake. I found only one fellow, a native born local, who confirmed there are several areas near here where they can be found - in eastern California. He said most people never see them.
Of all the old timers I questioned, most said they had lived in this area for 50 or more years and had never seen one rattlesnake. I've now lived here for 30 years, and I've seen three rattlesnakes. A western diamondback, a sidewinder, and the red rattlesnake. The "red" I'm speaking of is more of a cordovan color, not reddish or orange like.
I now carry a pocket digital camera when out and about, in case I happen to see another red rattlesnake.

It's pronounced he la!
