The Blue Tongue Skink Gives Birth to Live Young

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called."Blue Tongue Skink".

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Meandarra Queensland Australia. Coyote Peterson is looking for a Blue Tongue Skink. He is working with two animal specialists, Lockie and Max. The Blue Tongue Skinks are not venomous at all. Coyote Peterson said where they get their name is from their blue tongue. The blue tongue is very big. Coyote Peterson found a Blue Tongue Skink. At first, he thought it was a snake because of their back it's so scally just like a snake. They move like a snake too. Their color is all white with black swerve lines and a light cream ish brown. It looks really cool with their colors.

 Their tongue is so blue. The Blue Tongue Skink has very sharp claws. It feeds on little insects and sometimes plants. The Blue Tongue Skink that Coyote Peterson found was little over one foot long. 

These skinks are omnivores,

These skinks are ovoviviparous, which means they give birth to live young. Instead of eggs. They give birth to two to six baby skinks at a time. 

The males get a bit bigger than females.   

Exploring For Cave Salamanders

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called." Exploring for Cave Creatures".

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Lewisburg West Virginia.looking for a Cave Salamander. Coyote Peterson said the Cave Salamanders are rare because they are very fragile and you can only find one in a cave. The Cave Salamander can breathe through its skin. The Cave Salamander has a very cool looking color. Their color is all orange with black dots and its pretty. Coyote Peterson said the Cave Salamanders are getting healthy water. Coyote Peterson said it's very dangerous to be in a cave because the cave can collapse down. So Mario is on the outside because if the cave collapses he could go and get help. Only Coyote Peterson and Mark are going in the cave. They had to crawl in the cave. After a while. They could stand up in the cave. The water was up to their ankles. There were lots of spiders all around them so you had to be careful where you put your hand on. What the Cave Salamander eats is baby spiders and Mites and Worms and anything that is crawling in the cave. 

A Veiled Chameleon

There is a new Coyote Peterson video. The video is called "Wild Chameleons in Florida?"

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in Florida. Coyote Peterson is with a teenager named David. He is 16 years old. He really wanted to be on one of Coyote Peterson's videos. 

He did a video about Coyote Peterson and then Coyote Peterson saw it. So he said he is going to be on one of his videos, David was really excited. They found a Crabspider and Cane Toads and Cuban Tree frogs and geckos and all sorts of different kinds of animals. I wish I was David because he got to go explore with Coyote Peterson. It has been my dream to be with Coyote Peterson. I love animals and catching them and my favorite animal is snakes. And my second is a Cheetah and my third is a turtle. 

The best catch of the night was a Veiled Chameleon. I like Chameleons because of their color they can change their color to any color they want. The tongue is two-thirds of the length of the body and uses it to catch little insects.











































































































Eastern Black Kingsnake Found in a Broken Down Barn

There is a new Coyote Peterson video called "You'll Never Guess What Lives in Here".

Here is the video:

Coyote Peterson is in West Virginia. Coyote Peterson and Mario are looking for snakes and other animals at an old broken barn. 

When they got there it was raining and then it stopped. Mario said that it's a great place for going and looking for animals because the animals are looking for shelter under old wood and old sheets of tin scattered all over from the broken barn. The reason why the animals are looking for shelter is that it was raining for a while and it might start to rain again. 

Mario found a snake it was an Eastern Black Kingsnake.

Here is a picture of an Eastern Black Kingsnake: 

what I like about the Eastern Black Kingsnake is its pattern. Its pattern is all black on the top and its all-white on the belly side. It's really cool to see an Eastern Black Kingsnake. The Eastern Black Kingsnake is not venomous at all. I really wish I could be with Coyote Peterson someday. I would like to learn how to tell the difference between male and female snakes.


Blood Sucking Leeches


I hate leeches I never had a leech on me but I still do not want any on me at all. I can't believe Coyote Peterson is putting his arm in a box with twelve leeches.

When Coyote Peterson saw the leeches he began to feel scared. I would definitely be scared if I was going to be putting my arm in a container of leeches. 

 There are two different types of leeches that Coyote Peterson is going to put his arm in. One is Freshwater Leech and the other one is called European Medicinal Leech. The Freshwater Leech does not suck blood. But the European Medicinal Leech does suck blood. Coyote Peterson said the European Medicinal has not been drinking blood for a couple of days. So they are very hungry for some human blood. They love human blood. And I hate human blood. I just hate the tasting of it.

I saw Coyote Peterson shaking like crazy when he put his arms in a container with the leeches that do suck blood. But when he put his arms in the container with the leeches that don't suck blood he was not shaking at all.

Some Leeches are for helping people if they're sick and for other reasons. But now they don't really do that anymore.
