We Drove 1,000 Miles in America's Biggest Swamp - Here's What We Found (ft. @AnimalEncountersEP)

Roads are a paradox for animal lovers, because while they provide incredible access to habitats we could never get to otherwise, they're also extremely dangerous for the wildlife that has to cross them. We spent several weeks driving over 1000 miles through the greater Everglades ecosystem, using the roads to find its rarest creatures and save as many animals as we can from being hit by cars. Notes: iNaturalist is a citizen science wildlife observation app that lets anyone around the world submit observations of organisms that they find in the wild, and then the community of expert scientists and fellow nature lovers help identify them and use that data for research and conservation. It's how we track our life-listing efforts, and I highly suggest checking it out if you life-list too. If you want to see a complete list of the species we found on this mission (plus tons of other cool observations from our travels), check out our iNaturalist profile here: https://www.inaturalist.org/people/th... 14:55 we’ll* take it It's always a pleasure and an honor to hit the field with Emilio ‪@AnimalEncountersEP‬, he’s one of the most dedicated and knowledgable wildlife experts we know and this mission wouldn't have been nearly as successful without him.

We are Harrison and Evan Black, passionate zoologists and conservationists, and our mission is to document every animal species on Earth for our life list, while we still can. We’re traveling the world filming every animal we find to tell their stories as they actually happen and share it all with you. Our world is changing fast, so we make our videos keep track of the changes that are happening, and to hold all of us accountable for everything we have to protect: our wildlife, our shared ecosystems, and the one planet we have. Thank you for spending your time with us, let’s find the ways to save our planet together!
