Videos
View Video about The Black Widow Spider. The female black widow spider is the most venomous spider in North America, but it seldom causes death to humans, because it only injects a very small amount of poison when it bites. Click here to view video.
The
Bobcat
Despite its pussycat appearance when seen in repose, the bobcat is quite fierce
and is equipped to kill animals as large as deer. However, food habit studies
have shown bobcats subsist on a diet of rabbits, ground squirrels, mice, pocket
gophers and wood rats. Join us as we watch this sleepy bobcat show his teeth.
The Mountain
Lion
The Mountain Lion, also known as the Cougar, Panther or Puma, is the most widely
distributed cat in the Americas. It is unspotted -- tawny-colored above overlaid
with buff below. It has a small head and small, rounded, black-tipped ears. Watch
one in this video.
