    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!

    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 KZread. 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!

    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! 😂
