Jim: Hello and welcome to
this edition of
01:21.300 --> 01:23.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Nature Scene I'm
Jim Welch with
01:23.166 --> 01:25.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
naturalist Rudy Mancke.
And we're in
01:25.366 --> 01:27.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Horry County in
eastern South Carolina,
01:27.100 --> 01:29.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
on the edge of
The Carolina Bay,
01:29.233 --> 01:31.533 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
a mysterious
geographic place and
01:31.533 --> 01:33.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
I say mysterious
Rudy because so much
01:33.766 --> 01:35.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
has been written and
so little yet known.
01:35.666 --> 01:37.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Yeah, it's
still very
01:37.000 --> 01:39.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
mysterious because
we know that these
01:39.300 --> 01:41.233 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
elliptical
depressions are very
01:41.233 --> 01:43.000 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
common on the
coastal plain,
01:43.000 --> 01:44.900 align:left position:20% line:5% size:70%
mainly in the Carolinas,
which gives
01:44.900 --> 01:47.133 align:left position:17.5% line:5% size:72.5%
it the name Carolina Bays.
01:47.133 --> 01:49.433 align:left position:27.5% line:5% size:62.5%
And the formation,
the exact formation of
01:49.433 --> 01:51.133 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
them is still arguable.
01:51.133 --> 01:53.200 align:left position:22.5% line:5% size:67.5%
But they're very, very
special places
01:53.200 --> 01:55.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
unique places.
Because on a sandy
01:55.266 --> 01:57.400 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
coastal plane,
they're lower, they
01:57.400 --> 01:59.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
get wetter, a lot of
vegetation builds up
01:59.966 --> 02:02.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
there, and it's
almost like a boggy area.
02:02.200 --> 02:04.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
And we'll be
talking about the
02:04.466 --> 02:06.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
plants that live in
that wet place.
02:06.833 --> 02:09.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
As opposed to plants
that are found on
02:09.000 --> 02:11.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
sand rims, which are
usually associated
02:11.433 --> 02:13.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
with these bays.
People used to
02:13.400 --> 02:15.400 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
believe maybe
meteorites crashed
02:15.400 --> 02:17.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
into the ground here.
And that's one theory,
02:17.633 --> 02:20.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Jim: Well some
still believe.
02:20.066 --> 02:22.066 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
Rudy: Sure Yeah, we're not
really sure what happened.
02:22.066 --> 02:24.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
But once depressions
formed water,
02:24.400 --> 02:26.266 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
got in prevailing winds
02:26.266 --> 02:28.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
sort of formed
ellipses that are
02:28.266 --> 02:29.866 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
kind of in a
northwest to
02:29.866 --> 02:31.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
southeast orientation, and in
02:31.666 --> 02:34.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the plants moved in.
We're in an open
02:34.000 --> 02:36.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
area here, but just
behind us, you can
02:36.366 --> 02:38.366 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
see the thick
vegetation that is
02:38.366 --> 02:40.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
so typical of a
Carolina Bay, and
02:40.433 --> 02:42.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
we'll talk about
some of those plants
02:42.733 --> 02:45.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
specifically. And a
few moments but a
02:45.033 --> 02:47.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
lot of evergreen
species do well, and
02:47.366 --> 02:49.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
I suppose the name
bay may come from
02:49.600 --> 02:51.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
the fact that there
are three plants
02:51.866 --> 02:54.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
called Bays, Red Bay
and sweetbay and
02:54.166 --> 02:56.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
loblolly Bay, that
really do well in
02:56.400 --> 02:57.500 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
those depressions.
02:57.500 --> 02:58.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: So that's an
accepted theory as
02:58.700 --> 02:59.800 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
to why they're
called Bays.
03:00.366 --> 03:02.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: And then that
sand rim is a totally
03:02.200 --> 03:03.733 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
different habitats.
03:03.733 --> 03:05.533 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Look in front of us here.
I mean, the plants
03:05.533 --> 03:09.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that dominate are
tall longleaf pines
03:09.933 --> 03:11.733 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that love Sandy situations,
look at the big
03:11.733 --> 03:14.333 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
cones on those trees,
and long needles.
03:14.333 --> 03:17.266 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
So the name
longleaf pine
03:17.266 --> 03:19.233 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
certainly does make sense.
But that is
03:19.233 --> 03:22.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the dominant tree
species here.
03:22.600 --> 03:24.500 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And what happens often
in the sandy areas
03:24.500 --> 03:26.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
is fire come through
and that is really
03:26.433 --> 03:28.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
something that does
change the world.
03:28.900 --> 03:30.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Look off in the
distance there. And
03:30.233 --> 03:33.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
you can see how fire
really kills a lot
03:33.166 --> 03:35.133 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
of the shrubby
plants and allows
03:35.133 --> 03:36.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
these herbaceous
species to come up
03:36.966 --> 03:37.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and look at the
ferns in the
03:37.933 --> 03:39.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
distance over there.
< And what two
03:39.866 --> 03:40.966 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
different kinds of ferns.>
Yeah, the
03:40.966 --> 03:43.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
low when they're
close to the ground,
03:43.633 --> 03:45.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
about a foot off the
surface is the
03:45.600 --> 03:48.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
bracken fern. Very
widely distributed
03:48.200 --> 03:50.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Fern doing well here.
And then the
03:50.200 --> 03:52.766 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
clumps of fronds
that come up are
03:52.766 --> 03:55.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
leaves that come up
a little higher is
03:55.100 --> 03:57.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
cinnamon fern.
Beautiful new green.
03:58.066 --> 04:00.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Now again, the
shrubs the growing
04:00.100 --> 04:01.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
part of those shrubs
was killed by the fire.
04:01.633 --> 04:04.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
The stem on those
ferns is underground.
04:04.066 --> 04:06.333 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It's called
a rhizome.
04:06.333 --> 04:07.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: And goes up for
many feet.
04:07.733 --> 04:09.066 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Rudy: If you've got an
underground stem and
04:09.066 --> 04:10.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the fire comes through,
you lose your
04:10.300 --> 04:11.866 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
leaves so what
you send up new
04:11.866 --> 04:15.533 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
leaves from that
protected stem.
04:15.533 --> 04:16.866 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now here's a plant right
in front of us it
04:16.866 --> 04:19.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
does well in boggy
situations and
04:19.833 --> 04:21.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
usually associated a
lot with Carolina Bay,
04:21.666 --> 04:23.466 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
one of the
carnivorous plants.
04:24.333 --> 04:26.366 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Pitcher plant is the
common name this one
04:26.366 --> 04:28.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is the one called a
hooded pitcher plant.
04:28.900 --> 04:31.166 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Look those
little translucent
04:31.166 --> 04:33.200 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
spots on the
backside of that
04:33.200 --> 04:35.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
modified leaf. <You
find those on other
04:35.533 --> 04:37.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
pitcher plants?>
those not really
04:37.166 --> 04:38.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
know that's typical
of the hooded
04:38.600 --> 04:39.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
pitcher plant and
look at the way they
04:39.700 --> 04:42.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Top of that pitcher
now really does flop
04:42.000 --> 04:43.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
down a good bit
we'll probably see
04:43.433 --> 04:45.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
some other pitcher
plant species in a moment.
04:45.033 --> 04:47.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Carnivorous
in that it's a meat eater?
04:47.100 --> 04:49.533 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It takes in
insects mainly and
04:49.533 --> 04:51.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
other animals that
might get trapped
04:51.300 --> 04:54.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
sweet smell coming out.
And then that
04:54.100 --> 04:56.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
tubular leaf has
digestive fluid at
04:56.066 --> 04:59.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the bottom insect
falls in and gets
04:59.433 --> 05:02.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
digested by the
plant giving some
05:02.366 --> 05:04.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
trace elements
probably that it
05:04.466 --> 05:06.733 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
couldn't get out of
the soil to these
05:06.733 --> 05:08.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
plants the stem on
that is on the
05:08.400 --> 05:10.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
ground and the fire
came through.
05:10.033 --> 05:12.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
No problem it sends up
new leaves and look
05:12.566 --> 05:14.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
look at the flowers.
Isn't that
05:14.566 --> 05:16.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
interesting the way
they tilt down like
05:16.500 --> 05:19.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that and you see
petals and sepuls
05:19.866 --> 05:21.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
they're very very
colorful.
05:21.466 --> 05:23.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Is May a good
time to see
05:23.866 --> 05:24.866 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
carnivorous plants?
05:24.866 --> 05:27.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Yeah it really
is not only the the
05:27.000 --> 05:28.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
leaves that help you
identify them but
05:28.733 --> 05:32.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
also the beautiful
flowers one of the
05:32.266 --> 05:34.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
carnivorous plants I
bet we'll see more.
05:34.533 --> 05:35.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Look at the yellow
out here now a lot
05:35.933 --> 05:38.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
of color we saw
green a moment ago.
05:38.266 --> 05:40.066 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
What blossoms
brilliant yellow?
05:40.066 --> 05:42.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Wild Indigo is the
common name for that
05:42.433 --> 05:44.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
in the Pea family
you can see those
05:44.033 --> 05:46.266 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
flowers very clearly there.
And then those
05:46.266 --> 05:49.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
new leaves are
very interesting.
05:49.266 --> 05:50.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
That's a strange
plant it forms a
05:50.733 --> 05:54.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
little pea like pod
on it fruit pot but
05:54.366 --> 05:56.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
look what happens is
a plant dies there's
05:56.000 --> 05:57.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
last year's plant
right next to it see
05:57.900 --> 06:00.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it's it's black very
dark and stiff and
06:00.700 --> 06:02.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
since we're the
color comes from
06:02.266 --> 06:05.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it's used in dried
arrangements every
06:05.266 --> 06:07.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
now and then but
very very sturdy.
06:07.233 --> 06:09.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Doing well last
year's and then the
06:09.600 --> 06:11.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
new this year's
growth beautiful
06:11.500 --> 06:12.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
flowers I'm sure
we're going to see
06:12.800 --> 06:14.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%

Rudy: And one that
dominates here is
06:33.333 --> 06:36.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
that little shrubby Azalea,
common name for
06:36.866 --> 06:38.766 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
it is dwarf
azalea and doesn't

by lots of people.
06:56.633 --> 06:58.566 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
The flowers are kind of
honeysuckle looking
06:58.566 --> 07:03.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but it is one of the
azaleas really doing
07:03.266 --> 07:05.966 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
well in the sandy situations.
07:05.966 --> 07:06.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Now we were talking about
the fact that
07:06.766 --> 07:09.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
longleaf pines
dominate here.
07:09.333 --> 07:11.366 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Tree wise there's a tree
that's tough enough
07:11.366 --> 07:15.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to grow here fairly
well one of the Oaks.
07:15.333 --> 07:18.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Common name usually
Black Jack Oak,
07:18.766 --> 07:21.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and not generally a
very tall tree.
07:21.400 --> 07:24.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
That's a young one
it's gonna get bigger,
07:24.633 --> 07:27.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
but able to live well
in fairly dry soils.
07:27.266 --> 07:29.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<Large waxy leaves.>
Yeah, and the leafs
07:29.266 --> 07:30.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
usually a larger on
the small trees
07:30.866 --> 07:33.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
trying to get more
energy from sunlight
07:33.700 --> 07:37.833 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
so they can grow taller.
07:37.833 --> 07:39.633 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
There's another plant I look
at that little thing
07:39.633 --> 07:41.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
hard to see look at
the flower coming up
07:41.966 --> 07:43.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and leaves down at
the base of the one
07:43.933 --> 07:45.866 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
of the carnivorous plants.
So tiny Sundew
07:45.866 --> 07:48.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
was the common name,
little dewdrops
07:48.100 --> 07:49.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
almost on the ends
of those leaves.
07:49.766 --> 07:52.600 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
And that
sticky stuff grabs
07:52.600 --> 07:55.266 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
insects the leaf
actually folds up
07:55.266 --> 07:57.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Sundew is rare,
but this other

grass looking
vegetation it
07:59.800 --> 08:00.833 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
looks quite common.
08:00.833 --> 08:01.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Yeah, look at
it all over the place.
08:01.633 --> 08:03.833 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
In fact,
that's not a grass
08:03.833 --> 08:06.733 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
at all that's
longleaf pine just
08:06.733 --> 08:08.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
getting started
that's the grass

stage it's called
have that long leaf pine.
08:11.000 --> 08:12.866 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%

08:17.900 --> 08:19.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
So it'll continue to
grow on up.
08:19.933 --> 08:21.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%

Common name
09:10.833 --> 09:12.666 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%

And then of
09:31.966 --> 09:34.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
course the head
itself is coppery brown.
09:34.566 --> 09:36.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
So the common name
Copperhead makes sense.

One of the pit
vipers now

Look at the cat like
pupil in the eye.
09:44.833 --> 09:47.633 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
And then
between the eye and
09:47.633 --> 09:49.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the nostril that
other hole there is
09:49.566 --> 09:52.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the pit that is
sensitive,
09:52.600 --> 09:54.966 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
you know the temperature
changes 1/1000 of a
09:54.966 --> 09:56.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
degree Fahrenheit
change in temperature,
09:56.433 --> 09:59.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it can pick it up.
And that gives
09:59.333 --> 10:01.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
a snake lots
of information about
10:01.700 --> 10:03.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
potential food and
the world around him.
10:03.966 --> 10:07.933 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
It feeds on
mice, small birds,
10:07.933 --> 10:10.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
lizards, other
snakes, and even
10:10.100 --> 10:12.666 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
eats lots of insects too.
And that was really
10:12.666 --> 10:13.766 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
one of the
reasons it's so
10:13.766 --> 10:16.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
widespread it feeds
on just about any
10:16.300 --> 10:19.000 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
animal is small
enough to swallow.
10:19.000 --> 10:20.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Of course, it has
fangs and Venom
10:20.700 --> 10:22.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
bites more people

10:25.033 --> 10:27.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Kills less than 1% of the
people it bites, thank goodness.
10:27.800 --> 10:30.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Breathing very
calmly, would it?
10:30.100 --> 10:31.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Would it strike at us if
we weren't real close?
10:31.633 --> 10:34.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: I really doubt
it. We're too big
10:34.700 --> 10:37.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%

danger you'd rather
not come in contact with us.
10:39.200 --> 10:40.666 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
I imagine it would just stay
10:40.666 --> 10:41.966 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
right there
and allow us to walk
10:41.966 --> 10:44.400 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%

quiet animal isn't it?

Even though it
is a poisonous snake.
10:45.666 --> 10:47.333 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
But whenever

10:47.333 --> 10:48.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
and you're not
sure what kind it is,
10:48.600 --> 10:50.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it's best to treat it
like it's poisonous.
10:50.700 --> 10:54.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%

Hair's pointing down.
So once you
12:04.500 --> 12:06.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
lose your balance,
you go down into
12:06.033 --> 12:07.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
fluid at the bottom
of that modified
12:07.966 --> 12:10.833 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
leaf and get digested.
I don't see any.
12:10.833 --> 12:12.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<And the pitcher
flower grows taller.>
12:12.866 --> 12:14.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Yeah, when it gets a
little bit taller.
12:14.400 --> 12:17.333 align:left position:42.5% line:83% size:47.5%
Getting
nutrients from the
12:17.333 --> 12:19.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
body of the animal
kind of turning the
12:19.133 --> 12:21.333 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
tables on the animals.
I usually think
12:21.333 --> 12:22.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
of animals
eating plants.
12:22.800 --> 12:26.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
This is a plant that
gets rid of animals.
12:26.033 --> 12:28.566 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Look at now the clumps of
material all around it too.
12:28.566 --> 12:30.566 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Dried out a
little bit in the sunlight.
12:30.566 --> 12:33.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
But that spagna
moss see it
12:33.333 --> 12:35.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
all over the place here.
Sure it gives
12:35.266 --> 12:37.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
you a feeling that
there's water below.
12:37.566 --> 12:39.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
A lot of these Bay
situations the water
12:39.966 --> 12:41.900 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
is really right
under the surface.
12:41.900 --> 12:43.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
If you dig down a
little you can feel
12:43.433 --> 12:45.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the moisture and
it's in a sense.
12:45.566 --> 12:48.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It's kind of a boggy area.
<By July or August.
12:48.633 --> 12:49.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
This would be much
drier though.>
12:49.966 --> 12:52.433 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Probably so
but again water
12:52.433 --> 12:55.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
underneath that is
also called peat
12:55.000 --> 12:57.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
moss that spagna
moss is referred to
12:57.000 --> 13:00.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
often as peat moss.
I'm looking yep,
13:00.400 --> 13:02.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
there it is.
Right over there.
13:02.700 --> 13:05.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
See right over there.
There is the venus
13:05.566 --> 13:07.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
flytrap there is a
carnivorous plant
13:07.866 --> 13:11.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that to me, is so
unique to the two
13:11.000 --> 13:13.700 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Carolinas found
nowhere else in the world.
13:13.700 --> 13:15.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: And that's the
one I hear about
13:15.366 --> 13:18.633 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
people used to steal it,
in essence, take it home.
13:18.633 --> 13:20.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: We're losing a
lot in the wild.
13:20.566 --> 13:22.600 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<Endangered it?> Found only
in North and South Carolina.
13:22.600 --> 13:24.300 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
And that's
one of the very
13:24.300 --> 13:26.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
active traps those
pitcher plants are
13:26.066 --> 13:27.566 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
very passive.
They just sit and wait
13:27.566 --> 13:29.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
for the insect that
little thing has
13:29.666 --> 13:31.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
triggering hairs.
Those aren't big
13:31.000 --> 13:32.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
enough for us to
really get to
13:32.300 --> 13:33.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
hopefully we'll see
one larger in a moment.
13:33.566 --> 13:34.966 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
We can play
with those hairs and
13:34.966 --> 13:37.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
see if we can get
that leaf to to close up.
13:38.133 --> 13:39.566 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Rudy it's so
important to walk
13:39.566 --> 13:41.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
with respect because
there's so many
13:41.100 --> 13:42.133 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
fragile plants.
13:42.133 --> 13:43.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Yeah, it
really is best to
13:43.166 --> 13:44.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
spend most of your
time on trails just get
13:44.933 --> 13:47.100 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
off every now and then.
There's so much
13:47.100 --> 13:48.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that you really
can't see until you
13:48.300 --> 13:49.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
slow down I was just
looking down in
13:49.266 --> 13:50.333 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
front here with one
pitcher plant that
13:50.333 --> 13:50.800 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
we totally overlooked.
<So different.> Yeah,
13:53.333 --> 13:56.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
see the way the the
picture on that one
13:56.233 --> 13:58.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
is basically flat
against the ground
13:58.366 --> 13:59.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
instead of standing
straight up like
13:59.800 --> 14:02.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those others that
we've seen.
14:02.200 --> 14:03.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Purple pitcher plant
is one name for that
14:03.866 --> 14:06.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
hunters horn is
another one.
14:06.533 --> 14:07.833 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
And with it down against
the ground like
14:07.833 --> 14:09.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
that, look at that
wide opening that
14:09.200 --> 14:11.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
just feels with rain
water and insects
14:11.633 --> 14:14.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
drowned in that a
lot of times and are
14:14.633 --> 14:16.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
digested by the
fluid inside.
14:16.300 --> 14:17.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
You can even see the
hairs on that one
14:17.666 --> 14:19.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
very clearly pointing
in toward the trap.
14:19.966 --> 14:21.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Why did they do
so much better in
14:21.966 --> 14:23.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
these areas than
anywhere else?
14:23.166 --> 14:25.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Snuggeled up
next to the spagna
14:25.133 --> 14:27.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
moss which gives
them moisture even
14:27.333 --> 14:29.466 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
in fairly dry weather.
Saw a little
14:29.466 --> 14:31.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
dragon over here.
Let me just see if I
14:31.866 --> 14:34.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
can scoop that a
little bit.
14:34.000 --> 14:36.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Yeah, one of the looks
like one of the
14:36.033 --> 14:37.866 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
saddlebags
dragonflies let me
14:37.866 --> 14:40.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
see if I can just
reach in and get it
14:40.200 --> 14:42.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
in hand and we'll
take close look at
14:42.466 --> 14:44.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
it and for sure,
that's the one known
14:44.800 --> 14:47.166 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
as the saddlebags Dragonfly.
14:47.166 --> 14:49.733 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Jim: Why is it called the
saddlebags dragonfly?
14:49.733 --> 14:52.533 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Rudy: Thoes large dark
markings on the base
14:52.533 --> 14:53.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
of the hind wings
when the wings are
14:53.933 --> 14:56.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
spread look like
saddlebags bouncing
14:56.033 --> 14:57.633 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
off of an old Pony Express
rider riding rapidly.
14:57.633 --> 14:59.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: What's the more
scientific common name?
14:59.833 --> 15:03.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Tramea Carolina.
Carolina after the
15:03.033 --> 15:04.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
fact that it was
first described here
15:04.700 --> 15:07.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
in the Carolinas
sort of a reddish
15:07.700 --> 15:11.600 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
orange abdomen there
and then those nice
15:11.600 --> 15:14.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
wings interesting
the nation and then
15:14.133 --> 15:17.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of course the eyes
that giant eyes on
15:17.000 --> 15:19.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
this animal using
those eyes to find
15:19.133 --> 15:23.266 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
mates and also
to find food.
15:23.266 --> 15:27.266 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Recycling insects in this
area here. Big eyes and
15:27.266 --> 15:28.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
then also not only
do you have to have
15:28.900 --> 15:31.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
eyes to see him look
at the legs Jim,
15:31.900 --> 15:33.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
two group that are held
together kind of
15:33.366 --> 15:35.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
like a basket fly
through the air the
15:35.133 --> 15:37.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
greatest of ease
picking off insects
15:37.200 --> 15:39.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and changing them in
the dragonfly.
15:39.266 --> 15:41.533 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
It's our friend
spectacular animal.
15:41.533 --> 15:43.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Jim: Some viewers might
argue it's not an animal.
15:43.966 --> 15:46.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: It's an animal
an insect too,
15:46.233 --> 15:48.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
really you can you
can classify it in a
15:48.166 --> 15:50.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
variety of ways.
But animal no question about it.
15:50.300 --> 15:52.666 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Let's just see.
Look at that.
15:52.666 --> 15:54.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Beautiful. Yeah,
when the wings are
15:54.500 --> 15:56.066 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
spread the
saddlebags look is a
15:56.066 --> 15:58.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
little clearer. Look
at that. Isn't that amazing?
15:58.533 --> 16:02.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Come on, scoot off.
Yeah. Great fliers.
16:02.233 --> 16:05.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: I'm looking in
the tree I see there. Yeah,
16:05.066 --> 16:05.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: That's a head
red headed
16:05.966 --> 16:07.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
woodpecker looking
out of that hole.
16:07.566 --> 16:10.266 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Look at that
brilliant red.
16:10.266 --> 16:11.766 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
And when it comes out,
look as he moves out
16:11.766 --> 16:14.033 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
of that hole.
You can see not only is
16:14.033 --> 16:16.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the entire head red,
but there's dark
16:16.900 --> 16:18.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
behind that and then
look at all that
16:18.266 --> 16:20.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
white, brilliant white.
Really when it flies.
16:20.433 --> 16:22.066 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
It's a band across the
16:22.066 --> 16:23.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
middle of the body.
<That is the red
16:23.800 --> 16:24.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
headed woodpecker?>
The red headed
16:24.800 --> 16:26.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
woodpecker that is
using that as a nest
16:26.833 --> 16:28.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
hole going back
yellow, hidden back
16:28.733 --> 16:30.300 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
inside probably
cleaning it out a
16:30.300 --> 16:32.200 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
little bit. A lot of
woodpeckers have a
16:32.200 --> 16:34.033 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
little red on the head.
Red Headed woodpecker
16:34.033 --> 16:35.766 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
has a solid red head and
16:35.766 --> 16:39.566 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
both male and female
Oh man that's nice.
16:39.566 --> 16:41.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Doing very well
right here in this
16:41.433 --> 16:43.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
longleaf pine forest.
Why don't we
16:43.966 --> 16:45.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
head out this way.
See what else we can
16:45.566 --> 16:47.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
see and watch out
where you put your feet.
16:47.333 --> 16:48.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: Being careful
as we walk.
16:48.833 --> 16:55.833 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
♪♪
16:55.833 --> 16:57.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: This area
really does begin to
16:57.333 --> 16:59.733 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
open up usually
called a place like
16:59.733 --> 17:04.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
this as Savannah
grasses dominating here.
17:04.133 --> 17:06.933 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
A lot of broom
sedge coming out in here.
17:06.933 --> 17:08.766 align:left position:10% line:89% size:80%
<Often associated with the bay?>
17:08.766 --> 17:11.700 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Yeah, a little
extra moisture
17:11.700 --> 17:13.866 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
underground here.
Look at the treess.
17:13.866 --> 17:15.500 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Now here's
a strange one
17:15.500 --> 17:17.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
clusters, see them
out here.
17:17.700 --> 17:20.433 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Of an oak and oak that's
an oak running oak
17:20.433 --> 17:22.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is the common name
and usually it runs
17:22.266 --> 17:24.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
along the ground low
to the ground,
17:24.066 --> 17:26.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
rather than coming up.
Very tall,
17:26.966 --> 17:28.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
like that black jack
oak that we were looking at.
17:28.133 --> 17:30.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
<Oh, more of Bush
more than tree.>
17:30.000 --> 17:34.100 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Yeah. And
there is another one
17:34.100 --> 17:36.166 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
of the pitcher plants.
Wow, with a
17:36.166 --> 17:37.633 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
burgundy flower.
Yeah, isn't that interesting?
17:37.633 --> 17:39.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
And you see the
sepals and the petals
17:39.233 --> 17:41.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
again are colorful,
a little insect
17:41.566 --> 17:43.300 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
flying around those
flowers a little bit.
17:43.300 --> 17:45.966 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
But you see
the little
17:45.966 --> 17:48.033 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
pitchers on that not
very large not as
17:48.033 --> 17:50.233 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
large as some we've
seen before.
17:50.233 --> 17:52.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Sweet pitcher plant
is one name for it.
17:52.666 --> 17:54.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Red pitcher plant is
another name I
17:54.100 --> 17:57.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
suppose referring to
the flowers and also
17:57.133 --> 17:59.866 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
to a little bit of
red on the on the pitcher's.
18:00.266 --> 18:02.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: This is another
pitcher plant well
18:02.066 --> 18:03.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the carnivorous
plants.
18:03.066 --> 18:04.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Sarracenia is
the genus name we've
18:04.466 --> 18:08.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
seen four species of
that same genus
18:08.666 --> 18:11.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
doing well here.
Now there's some last
18:11.433 --> 18:13.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
year's fruit look at
the little vases.
18:13.933 --> 18:15.433 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Let's see those
little vases there
18:15.433 --> 18:16.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that were once
filled with seed.
18:16.466 --> 18:18.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Now that's dried
out from last year?
18:18.433 --> 18:19.833 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: That's a plant
called meadow beauty.
18:19.833 --> 18:22.600 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
Savannah is
a very much like wet
18:22.600 --> 18:24.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
meadows and meadow
beauty comes in and
18:24.600 --> 18:26.666 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
does well easy to
identify even
18:26.666 --> 18:30.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
without flowers on.
And I can look at this.
18:30.833 --> 18:32.000 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Can't you
believe this?
18:32.000 --> 18:34.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Look at the dragonfly.
Perched on the medow beauty,
18:34.733 --> 18:37.800 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
over there.
Species name on that
18:37.800 --> 18:40.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
is semi fasci Ada,
not quite banded,
18:40.366 --> 18:43.500 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
but almost banded all the
way across those wings.
18:43.500 --> 18:44.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Jim: Not much
different in size
18:44.700 --> 18:46.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
from the previous
saddlebags.
18:46.433 --> 18:47.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Right. Yeah,
this one's a little
18:47.533 --> 18:49.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
more fresh though.
It's still there.
18:49.500 --> 18:51.166 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Many wings are still
glistening, still
18:51.166 --> 18:54.433 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
getting used to flight.
And one other
18:54.433 --> 18:55.933 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
strange one.
Here's another one
18:55.933 --> 18:58.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of the grasses see
with the curled end on it.
18:58.200 --> 19:00.300 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
twisting
around a little bit.
19:00.500 --> 19:02.733 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
<Very, artistic, too.>
Tooth ache grass is
19:02.733 --> 19:04.000 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the common name for that.
And usually
19:04.000 --> 19:06.000 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
when you see that,
you figure Gee,
19:06.000 --> 19:07.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
there's a savanna
area there because
19:07.600 --> 19:11.133 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
it does very well in
these pine savannas.
19:11.133 --> 19:13.033 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
And last year's
fruit.
19:13.033 --> 19:15.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Has to be a
reason why it's
19:15.033 --> 19:15.966 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
called toothache grass.
19:15.966 --> 19:18.466 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Well again,
it's crushable it is
19:18.466 --> 19:21.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
aromatic and deadens
the pain of of toothaches.
19:21.766 --> 19:23.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
That's one of
the uses for
19:23.700 --> 19:26.333 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
that net amazed so much here.
And right in
19:26.333 --> 19:27.900 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
in front of us here.
Look at the
19:27.900 --> 19:30.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
orange milk wort
brilliant orange on
19:30.400 --> 19:33.133 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
that group of
flowers there right
19:33.133 --> 19:36.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
here in in the trail.
So much to see
19:36.300 --> 19:38.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
in a place like
this and habitats
19:38.500 --> 19:40.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
change a little bit.
<Ditches every here and there.>
19:40.500 --> 19:42.300 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Whoa right in
the ditch there look
19:42.300 --> 19:44.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
in the water. Oh my
there is a relative
19:44.933 --> 19:47.100 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of that Copperhead
that we saw earlier.
19:47.100 --> 19:49.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Common Name, Eastern
cottonmouth.
19:49.966 --> 19:50.933 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Look at the size of the head.
19:50.933 --> 19:53.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: That behavior
is so different from
19:53.166 --> 19:54.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
anything I've seen
on a snake.
19:54.500 --> 19:55.900 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: The markings
resemble the
19:55.900 --> 19:57.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
copperhead markings
a little bit but
19:57.500 --> 19:59.633 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
they're not quite so
obvious on the
19:59.633 --> 20:02.433 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
eastern cottonmouth
same genus as the
20:02.433 --> 20:05.166 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
copperhead different species.
<Much more menacing.>
20:05.166 --> 20:06.900 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Yeah, and
really enjoys the
20:06.900 --> 20:08.666 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
water really enjoys
the water looking at
20:08.666 --> 20:10.200 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
him now coiling up
now he's seen as
20:10.200 --> 20:11.633 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
he's a little
bothered by us
20:11.633 --> 20:12.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
flattening his body
a little bit look
20:12.966 --> 20:14.933 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the way the mouth
opens up. he did
20:14.933 --> 20:17.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
name cotton mouth
look at that didn't
20:17.033 --> 20:18.466 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
get to that he's
20:18.466 --> 20:21.366 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: He's hostile
enough looking as it is.
20:21.366 --> 20:23.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Almost. Well,
lots of snakes have
20:23.033 --> 20:24.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
white linings in the
mouth. This is the
20:24.433 --> 20:25.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
only one that shows
you the lining and
20:25.833 --> 20:26.833 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
even when you don't
want to see it,
20:26.833 --> 20:28.966 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
fangs not pulled
down at all.
20:28.966 --> 20:30.566 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
It can control whether the
fines come down or not.
20:30.566 --> 20:32.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
But obviously a
poisonous snake one
20:32.600 --> 20:34.033 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
of those pit vipers
look at the tail
20:34.033 --> 20:36.066 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
vibrating down
there, splashing in
20:36.066 --> 20:38.366 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
the water a little bit.
And again,
20:38.366 --> 20:40.833 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that's typical of
the cotton mouth and
20:40.833 --> 20:44.200 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
the copperhead
vibrating the tail
20:44.200 --> 20:45.466 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
and of course
another pit Viper.
20:45.466 --> 20:46.600 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
Does that
rattlesnake
20:46.600 --> 20:48.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
rattlesnakes. It's
almost as if he were
20:48.500 --> 20:49.966 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
related to the
redness it is a
20:49.966 --> 20:51.733 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
relationship.
They're all pit
20:51.733 --> 20:54.300 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
vipers vibrate their tails
when they get bothered.
20:54.300 --> 20:57.300 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
Magnificent animal
20:57.300 --> 20:59.233 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that's usually
called the low land
20:59.233 --> 21:01.200 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
or water moccasin
the copperhead
21:01.200 --> 21:03.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
referred to as the
high land or a
21:03.766 --> 21:06.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
moccasin or the
copperhead poisonous
21:06.366 --> 21:07.700 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
snake good to be
aware of that.
21:07.700 --> 21:09.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Jim: Always been
told they're an
21:09.000 --> 21:10.966 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
aggressive snake and
I would believe that now.
21:10.966 --> 21:12.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Rudy: Well they
stand their ground
21:12.333 --> 21:13.433 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
they don't really
come at you they
21:13.433 --> 21:14.800 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
stand their ground.
Why don't we just
21:14.800 --> 21:16.933 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
walk around it here
and see what we can
21:16.933 --> 21:17.633 align:left position:32.5% line:89% size:57.5%
see further on.
21:17.633 --> 21:31.533 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
♪♪
21:31.533 --> 21:32.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
We are back on a
little bit of a
21:32.900 --> 21:36.166 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
sandy area now.
At the edge of the bay
21:36.166 --> 21:40.733 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
again Jim, shrub
zone here it's really great.
21:40.733 --> 21:42.633 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Jim: I said earlier
how mysterious these
21:42.633 --> 21:44.600 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
bays are but the
plants that surround
21:44.600 --> 21:46.133 align:left position:17.5% line:89% size:72.5%
them are a rather exciting.
21:46.133 --> 21:47.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Yeah, they
really are and very
21:47.333 --> 21:48.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
diverse and you
don't find them everywhere.
21:48.500 --> 21:50.333 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
But look at the
thick vegetation.
21:50.333 --> 21:52.966 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
So typical of bays.
21:52.966 --> 21:55.066 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It's argued about
how bays formed but
21:55.066 --> 21:57.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
after they got their
vegetation moved in
21:57.466 --> 21:59.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and most of the bays
now that once had
21:59.766 --> 22:02.033 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
water in them are
now solid vegetation.
22:02.033 --> 22:04.066 align:left position:22.5% line:89% size:67.5%
The pines coming up out
22:04.066 --> 22:06.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
there are no longer
longleaf pines,
22:06.166 --> 22:08.500 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
those are called
Pond pines and they
22:08.500 --> 22:11.700 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
do very well
in that situation.
22:11.700 --> 22:14.333 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
I see another one of the
bays here too.
22:14.333 --> 22:19.700 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
See the sweetbay which
is in fact one of
22:19.700 --> 22:22.700 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
the magnolias didn't
really look that way
22:22.700 --> 22:23.833 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
at the moment.
But look over there you
22:23.833 --> 22:26.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
can see the fruit to
the old tells you
22:26.733 --> 22:28.566 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
really Yeah, that's
Magnolia, no doubt about it.
22:28.566 --> 22:30.666 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
And then
another shrubby
22:30.666 --> 22:33.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
plant that's coming
in here is pepper
22:33.466 --> 22:35.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Bush doing very well
see last year's
22:35.766 --> 22:37.400 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
fruit on it.
<And that's why do you
22:37.400 --> 22:39.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
call it pepper Bush?>
pepper corn look of
22:39.300 --> 22:41.166 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
the fruit fruit.
It'll have white
22:41.166 --> 22:42.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
flowers later that
really are
22:42.466 --> 22:45.266 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
attractive to insects,
and so many shrubby
22:45.266 --> 22:48.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
species that
do well in the bay.
22:48.233 --> 22:50.400 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
And then right on
the edge. very showy lavender.
22:50.400 --> 22:52.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Oh my goodness.
What does
22:52.466 --> 22:53.366 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
that look like?
What's that flower
22:53.366 --> 22:54.666 align:left position:30% line:89% size:60%
look like to you?
22:54.666 --> 22:56.633 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
Jim: Is it a laurel?
22:56.633 --> 22:58.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
Rudy: Looks like
mountain laurel
22:58.900 --> 23:00.766 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
except we're not in
the mountains and
23:00.766 --> 23:02.700 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
the flowers are smaller.
This one is
23:02.700 --> 23:04.600 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
called a sheep
Laurel or sheep kill.
23:04.600 --> 23:07.300 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
It is a poisonous
plant and
23:07.300 --> 23:09.533 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
it is a relative of
mountain laurel the
23:09.533 --> 23:12.066 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
same genus Kalmia.
But a different
23:12.066 --> 23:14.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
species and groups
of those small
23:14.366 --> 23:17.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
flowers beautiful
when you get a close
23:17.100 --> 23:18.966 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
look at them like this.
But ringing the
23:18.966 --> 23:22.066 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
edge it looks
like of the of the bay.
23:22.066 --> 23:25.800 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Strange, very
interesting plant
23:25.800 --> 23:27.500 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
some that you would
expect here and some
23:27.500 --> 23:29.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
that got or throw
back in a sense or
23:29.900 --> 23:32.400 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
relatives at least
in mountain
23:32.400 --> 23:34.933 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
<Great habitat.> Yeah, so
much to see a little movement
23:34.933 --> 23:36.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
down here. Let me see
if I can, little toad.
23:36.400 --> 23:38.800 align:left position:25% line:89% size:65%
<A little tiny one.>
23:38.800 --> 23:42.300 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Well here, probably the
oak toad. Let me see.
23:42.300 --> 23:43.800 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Let me just reach in
and get in. This
23:43.800 --> 23:47.766 align:left position:15% line:83% size:75%
is really a very small toad.
And yet this
23:47.766 --> 23:51.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
is the adult Jim.
<Fully grown.> Yeah,
23:51.333 --> 23:52.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
<Hard to believe.>
Pretty easy to
23:52.700 --> 23:54.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
identify by the size
and that light
23:54.666 --> 23:56.233 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
stripe right down
the center of the
23:56.233 --> 23:59.466 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
back with dark
markings on both sides.
24:00.566 --> 24:01.566 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
Jim: You're not
hurting him?
24:01.566 --> 24:03.166 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Rudy: Not really. I
shouldn't let him
24:03.166 --> 24:04.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
dry out too much.
But you see the way
24:04.800 --> 24:06.266 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
he's breathing there
with that throat
24:06.266 --> 24:08.633 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
bringing in air
through the nostrils
24:08.633 --> 24:10.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
and into the Lungs.
Long, we keep him
24:10.700 --> 24:11.900 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
from drying out.
I think we'll be alright.
24:11.900 --> 24:13.800 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
But this
one is typical of
24:13.800 --> 24:16.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
savannas and bays in
this part of the
24:16.300 --> 24:18.233 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
southeastern
United States.
24:18.233 --> 24:19.533 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: What's his name
again?
24:19.533 --> 24:21.933 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Oak toad. Be a
good common name for it.
24:21.933 --> 24:23.100 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
Just putting
him right here.
24:23.100 --> 24:25.166 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Jim: Eats small insects.
24:25.166 --> 24:26.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Yeah, it seems
to find plenty
24:26.433 --> 24:28.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
because he does very
well in this situation.
24:28.100 --> 24:37.766 align:left position:47.5% line:89% size:42.5%
♪♪
24:37.766 --> 24:39.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
I recall there's a
little depression up here.
24:39.466 --> 24:42.400 align:left position:40% line:83% size:50%
are some
pretty good size
24:42.400 --> 24:44.233 align:left position:22.5% line:83% size:67.5%
Venus fly traps in it.
<You were going to
24:44.233 --> 24:45.766 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
show me how they worked.>
Yeah, let
24:45.766 --> 24:46.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
me get down there
and see if we can
24:46.800 --> 24:50.366 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
get one of those to
close up and see if
24:50.366 --> 24:52.000 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
I can get this stick
in position, Jim, I
24:52.000 --> 24:53.500 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
think this will
work. A little
24:53.500 --> 24:56.700 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
triggering here is
on the inside. Look
24:56.700 --> 24:58.233 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
at this, look at it.
Look at that see,
24:58.533 --> 25:01.000 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
closes right up.
Again, if an insect
25:01.000 --> 25:02.166 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
or spider or
whatever was in there,
25:02.166 --> 25:04.533 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
after it was
caught and trapped
25:04.533 --> 25:06.866 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
by that little trap,
then digestive fluid
25:06.866 --> 25:08.800 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
would be produced
closes very quickly.
25:08.800 --> 25:10.600 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
Yeah, pretty rapid.
This is an active
25:10.600 --> 25:12.333 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
trap not passive.
Oops, look at that.
25:12.333 --> 25:14.966 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
It's not a passive
trap like the
25:14.966 --> 25:16.466 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
pitcher plants and
see it's hard to
25:16.466 --> 25:18.066 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
look at this hard to
get that little stick out.
25:18.066 --> 25:19.900 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
Jim: Will it stay closed
for quite some time?
25:19.900 --> 25:21.566 align:left position:15% line:89% size:75%
Rudy: Stay closed, but since
25:21.566 --> 25:23.033 align:left position:20% line:83% size:70%
there's nothing in there,
it'll open up and
25:23.033 --> 25:26.100 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
these leaves can
close and open and
25:26.100 --> 25:28.300 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
close and open up to
10 times before they
25:28.300 --> 25:30.666 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
die and then another
leaf is produced.
25:30.666 --> 25:32.766 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
<It's amazing Rudy.>
It is kind of
25:32.766 --> 25:35.433 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
strange isn't almost
a primitive trap line.
25:35.433 --> 25:37.833 align:left position:35% line:83% size:55%
I've heard it
called, a lot of
25:37.833 --> 25:39.333 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
carnivorous plants today.
25:39.333 --> 25:41.100 align:left position:17.5% line:83% size:72.5%
<That's the venus flytrap.>
Venus Flytrap and
25:41.100 --> 25:42.266 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
there's another one
really over there we
25:42.266 --> 25:43.733 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
haven't talked about
yet one called Butterwort.
25:43.733 --> 25:45.666 align:left position:20% line:89% size:70%
Look at the leaves at the
25:45.666 --> 25:47.133 align:left position:30% line:83% size:60%
base that kind of
fold up on the edges,
25:47.133 --> 25:50.166 align:left position:37.5% line:83% size:52.5%
waxy leaves
it slowly fold over
25:50.166 --> 25:52.400 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
and trapping insects
and a really pretty
25:52.400 --> 25:54.266 align:left position:27.5% line:89% size:62.5%
flower on the top.
25:54.266 --> 25:55.466 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Jim: Rudy there's so
many wonderful
25:55.466 --> 25:57.100 align:left position:32.5% line:83% size:57.5%
things here at
Cartwheel Bay.
25:57.100 --> 25:58.500 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
Rudy: Special plants
and animals that
25:58.500 --> 26:00.100 align:left position:25% line:83% size:65%
like we've seen here
deserve special
26:00.100 --> 26:02.133 align:left position:27.5% line:83% size:62.5%
