World Turtle Day Video -Sam's Big Day - Galapagos Tortoise Moves to San Diego Botanic Garden.
There is a very interesting back story about this special tortoise and its tie to Julian Duval, President/CEO of the San Diego Botanic Garden, which started in 1966. It also touches on the love and special care Sam has received for over 40 years by Lois Dickson.

Rattlesnake Cam - While filming rattlesnakes with biologist, Frank Wegscheider, the snake decided to seek shade around the camera. This happened with a rosy boa as well.

The Snakes of Orange County - I am currently producing a short film on The Snakes of Orange County (working title) for Laguna Coast Wilderness Park. The goal of this film is to increase appreciation for these wonderful creatures by looking at how they have managed to adapt and thrive just fine without arms and legs. Through this film we hope to clear up some common misconceptions and fears people have about snakes.
