People like you that say that they chase people are spreading horses**t. I've been herping for 41+ years and have never been chased or "attacked" by a snake, Cottonmouths and Copperheads included, unless I instigated the encounter. 95% of the time, snakes haul ass or freeze, letting their camouflage work. Stop spreading horses**t lies. Please.

Used to walk trails like this for years off of Micco road.

I heard that some academics saw one single water buffalo, deep in the Everglades, from Southeast Asia - seemed healthy - this is within the last couple years

The snake at the beginning was a water snake not a cotton mouth.

Until you mess with it and then it'll flatten its head and body out to make itself look bigger. That's what gets these completely harmless snakes killed by dodos like this guy that has no idea about what he is talking about. A snake in or near the water has to be a cottonmouth. Uneducated morons.

Kudos to you for cutting up that old pine others drove over. I would of tossed some of the fat wood in the truck to use later when camping. Comments on here about finding the Skunk Ape or Bigfoot. All they need to do is to go to the spot on the film at the (15:58 ) mark. Camp there and in the quiet of 2 A.M. , wake to the sound of that Armadillo walking threw the woods. You would swear it's a giant Bigfoot. Even more fun would be having two of them bulldozing their way threw the undergrowth. lol

Interesting photography as far as it goes. but no major predators to be seen. There was a bobcat at one point, a coyote at another, but no cougars, wolves or bears, therefore the deer and the wild pig populations will inevitably get overpopulated which creates habitat degradation and disease.

Be very wary of wild pigs
