Of course we would expect venom glands to be absent if they are not venomous.7:21 - The other snake in question is the Chihuahuan Hook-Nosed Snake, Gyalopion canum.9:30 - Some caterpillars are also entirely orange/red.10:19 - This is redundant because I meant to say "always" before listing those colors. Adult butterflies are not variable in coloration like the caterpillars are.10:30 - Leaning Mule Deer after reading some comments.11:18 - Not sure why I forgot to mention its name in this segment.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:18 - Western Rhinoceros Beetles #1-4 (Xyloryctes thestalus)01:39 - Tohono Vinegaroon #1 (Mastigoproctus tohono)02:53 - Merriam's Kangaroo Rat (Dipodomys merriami)04:09 - Scorpion (Gertschius agilis)05:28 - Hubbard's Silkmoth caterpillars (Syssphinx hubbardi)06:19 - Arizona Coral Snake (Micruroides euryxanthus)07:45 - Tohono Vinegaroon #2 (Mastigoproctus tohono)09:19 - Pipevine Swallowtail Butterfly caterpillar (Battus philenor)10:30 - Mule Deer (Odocoileus hemionus)11:18 - Dung beetle (Copris arizonensis)12:26 - Mazatlan Narrow-Mouthed Toad (Gastrophryne mazatlanensis)14:03 - Western Rhinoceros Beetles #5 (Xyloryctes thestalus)14:51 - Chihuahuan Lubber Grasshoppers (Phrynotettix tshivavensis)15:27 - Tohono Vinegaroon #3 (Mastigoproctus tohono)17:06 - Trapdoor spider (Ummidia)
Giant Arabian Deathstalkers / Shield-Tailed Scorpions General Apathy 2025-09-15 | Searching for Shield-Tailed Scorpions (Apistobuthus pterygocercus) in the sand dunes of northern Oman.Corrections / additional comments:00:08 - Any mention of "Arabian Giant Deathstalkers" is bad syntax.05:52 - During this segment, you might notice that I spliced in footage of an entirely different individual. There were some issues with the quality of some of the original footage, so I had to shoot some more.10:31 - This was an incredibly poorly explained point. Of course... all animals eventually die in captivity. What I meant was that juveniles do not survive to adulthood and as such, generations do not turn in captivity either. The cause of this is thought to be related to specific humidity gradient requirements since the molting process is what results in death.12:49 - Contiguous Africa.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:19 - Shield-Tailed Scorpion #1 (Apistobuthus pterygocercus)01:36 - Sharqiyah Sand Gecko (Trigonodactylus sharqiyahensis)02:58 - Dung beetle (Scarabaeus bannuensis)04:10 - Shield-Tailed Scorpion #2 (Apistobuthus pterygocercus)05:52 - Cheesman's Gerbil (Gerbillus cheesmani)07:16 - Arrow-breasted scorpion (Compsobuthus)08:33 - Camel spider (Daesiidae)09:37 - Shield-Tailed Scorpion #3 (Apistobuthus pterygocercus)11:57 - Desert Monitor (Varanus griseus griseus)

A pair of Sphodromantis trimactula were found in a mesquite in the area.06:50 - Redundant since I had already mentioned the monsoon season a couple times.07:13 - Aestivation is incorrect here. Just general torpor in this case.07:16 - More like an early spring in many ways. My understanding of the local monsoon ecology changed greatly over the course of my time in Oman.12:11 - This one is a lappet moth, not a tiger moth / ally.Chapters:00:00 - Intro00:27 - Camel spider #1 (Rhagodidae)02:00 - Dhofar Desert Agama (Pseudotrapelus dhofarensis)03:37 - Alligator back scorpion (Hottentotta salei)05:10 - Mantis (cf.

Those two names exist independently of one another but not as a binomial. ‘arizonensis’ is a fairly common epithet, but I am still not completely sure how I made this large error. One of those things that I catch during the editing process and can’t do a whole lot to fix.

Never before caught on camera: California’s most elusive mammal General Apathy 2025-01-21 | All shrews were trapped and handled with permits. Thanks to Prakrit Jain and Vishal Subramanyan for spearheading this project. This was a three night excursion to the eastern Sierras in California. Shrews were trapped by night with the goal of photographing and filming the Californian endemic Mount Lyell Shrew, an extremely poorly documented species. Other species were recorded as well. Corrections / additional comments:00:45 - Large rocks that won’t inhibit the auger. 02:46 - Elevation, not altitude. 04:34 - To be clear, very little is known about its ecology/biology. There might be some unknown aspects of this that are unique. 04:54 - Like other similar Sorex, it’s likely that a substantial portion of this species’ population doesn’t even overwinter on any given year. 07:05 - Not sure if this is true for all shrew venom. 09:24 - Might have been more like -8. 11:28 - For this area at least.

Corrections / additional comments:1:05 - Just the prosoma for the females of this species. 2:06 - Bothrops asper prey on fish as well. 4:59 - Major error here. This is not a Xenesthis at all, but rather a juvenile Phamphobeteus. How ironic. 5:13 - Or rather prefers to live in vegetation one or two meters off the ground. 9:13 - Edited such that it looks easier than it actually was.
