It has been reported to have over 300 hundred legs and give live to be over 10 years old. Strangely, a female lays only one single egg in a brood. Learn more fascinating facts about the giant millipede in this nature education/environmental education, natural history video. Narceus americanus.
They are indeed fascinating to watch as they crawl across the forest floor! Thanks for sharing this amazing creature!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Lol, I'm 48, and it always feels like I'm back in an elementary classroom watching the projector when I'm learning from your videos, Frank. Thanx
You are welcome. A beautiful comment I appreciate very much!
Fantastic and fascinating Mr. Taylor !!
Thank you Brian! Always great to hear from you!
Hi Frank. Awsome video. Thank you teacher. . Today was great. I got to see a great horn owl. Very close. I was mowing our herbacious openings. And Mrs Mc millen told me thanks. She really likes watching all the critters that come into the small field after we mow. She's very nice. I always say hi when I'm working there. It's very good being good neighbors. Awsome video. Teacher. God bless😊
Love to see me a great horned owl!
Love your informative videos. Keep ‘em coming and thank you. ❤
You are welcome! Thanks for your encouragement!
Great video. Thanks for sharing.
👍👍👏👏🇺🇲🇺🇲
Glad you enjoyed it!
Same. Enjoyed film.
Hi Frank from Pennsylvania student Jeff. Awsome and thanks teacher. Beth and i went to living treasures today. I got to hold a baby kangeroo. It was 6 weeks old. Its fur felt like rabbit hair. They let me help with the kangeroos. It was very fun. And the lady said that she has never seen them accept a strange person like that before. I was rubbing their ears and giving them scratches. They all came to me and got rubbs. Even the males. God bless Frank. Im the kangeroo guy now. Ha Ha. Awsome video. 😊😊
Ha! The kangaroo whisperer...I am not surprised!
Fascinating!!! I've been going up to Shenandoah National Park for 50 years and seen hundreds? of these guys. Used to really creep me out (probably from climbing up rocks and suddenly finding one in front of my nose as I pulled myself up. Finally I decided it was ridiculous to be uncomfortable with them and that I'd learn to love them. Started by stroking one and quickly got over it and now I have great affection for them. But I didn't know any of what you shared about them! The toxins, the number of legs, how they gain segments, the single egg, 11 years! I've been going up to SNP weekly this past year. Next week when I'm up there again and see them, I'll remember all I learned just now. As always, thanks for your videos!
I have seen many on AT through their as well! Funny how many cross the trail!
Frank god😢 is great and nature is his handiwork. I work in his greatness.god is good God bless you. Best biology teacher ever. Pennsylvania Jeff. 😊😊
I like millipedes! I've found a lot of them; unfortunately for me, I've never seen one that size, but I'm hoping! Thanks for the interesting info about them.
You are so welcome! And I hope you find one of these giants soon! 🙂👍
They kind of freak me out. I can pick up snakes, and tarantula, but all those feet really bother me! Interesting to learn about them!❤👍
Ha! But I can't pick up spiders and tarantulas! Nope! Lol!
I just discovered your videos and intend to watch more!
I live in an area that was once farmland, over one hundred years ago in NE PA. (my home is eighty years old farmhouse, but the farm was gone for more than fifty years) And these millipedes are everywhere, as are the garter snakes and those screaming orange salamanders. It's fun in my local woods.
Welcome aboard! I just finished a video on the screaming orange "red eft stage of the Eastern newt! Check out my newt playlist. And if you haven't seen it yet check out my popular garter snake episode! And leave me questions in comments any time! Your place sounds awesome!
@@natureatyourdoor Will find it. The red eft is the name I was looking for. One year it looked like there was an air drop of Cheetos!
Kinda looks like little wheels turning underneath them.
It does! 😀
I found a cute little orange lizard in my yard this morning. Just like the one in your intro.
Cool! It is the red eft stage of the American newt! Check out my newt videos! 🙂
Hello man I love your intro. Lol, I'm a crazy guy that loves to catch and play with wild animals. 😆
I caught a northern water snake earlier and this lady got scared and almost pushed her dude in the river haha, I was putting it back where I found it.
I also caught a beautiful black rat snake in a river recently, very rare to see snakes where I live, even harder to get hands on. It was maybe 3 or 4 feet. Periscope underwater and peek out the surface to check me over n over then I was face to face with it LOL. It was like omg it came in the river for me. Sadly it got loose around my house and I never seen it again. I planned to take it back where I found it but he ran away.
Just wanted to tell you I really love the black rat snake. I'm from Northern ohio near Cleveland. Seen one as a kid jump off the bridge into the river, it lived under the sidewalk with garter snakes. Think they all den together, even tho I've seen some say they eat garters, promise you this spot I found had maybe 10 big garters that would sun and 1 giant black snake I would always creep and try to catch. Think I did catch it because I had one as a teen that also got away in the same backyard. Lol. My mom hates snakes.
People are shocked and in disbelief when they see me handle wild snakes. Some just crawl right onto my arm and hang out. It's when you move at them a certain way they get afraid. If you grab a fast moving snake it will almost always bite.
The big black rat snake I pulled out the river wasn't far from where I found the other as a teen. I'm 40 now. My friend was amazed he never seen them before. Not that big atleast. They are super nice also. That one only bit at me once right when I got it up out of the waterline.
A black rat snake will also submerge itself in the river 99% because we spotted it by only seeing its head. It was in murky brown water by the shore. Haha. It's one of the greatest snakes to find, way more docile than Northern water snakes but I play with them also and they can be chill also after a while. I trust wild ones around my neck.
I would love to come try to find some with you if I ever am not busy working. I gotta go just noticed my fishtank light is dead. Damn it.
What a great share! I am down south of you in the western part of Virginia!
The fishtank light was just turned off from when I cleaned my rabbit cage earlier. Thank God I thought it broke or died. Lol.
Thanks for teaching people about black rat snake also. 🐍 really curious friendly snakes. Wish I didn't lose the one I recently found. I just wanted to give it something to eat.
That is crazy though they hide submerged in the water also. I don't mind if they bite me a few times, it's totally worth it to hang out with one.
They are great snakes!
Frank which Millipedes or Centipedes are dangerous to people as far as biting or venom ?
Millipedes are harmless. Centipedes by nature can bite and sting. Check out my other millipede and centipede videos for more! 🙂
At 3:12 you had another big green thing under the vegetation.
I tried but couldn't see anything ?
Lol...I didn't see it either! 🙂
@@natureatyourdoor at 3:01 forward. There is the head of a green beetle it seems. As the millipede is walking over it it is on the bottom side of the millipede. As in the side of the millipede closest to the bottom of the screen
@@MrBrookcantdance I ll check it out! Thanks.
Frank I live in Evington, Va and my question is what snakes can I find here in Evington?
Check out this link. Scroll through the snakes section and see which range maps include your particular area! www.virginiaherpetologicalsociety.com/
@natureatyourdoor : Thank you Frank . APPRECIATED 👍
That is not even close to largest. Seen much bigger ones in Cali
I am sure...I have seen bigger ones as well but this one was conveniently available for filming.
