Arizona's Night-time Wildlife | The Ant Explorer After Dark

Miles Maxcer and Wyatt Mendez are trained professionals. For your safety and that of the animals we care about, please do not attempt to replicate any handling of wildlife shown in this video. As evening monsoon storms close in around the Chiricahua Mountains, Miles and Wyatt adventure through the Arizona wilds in search of classic desert creatures. After encounters with the deadly Mojave rattlesnake and federal law enforcement, Miles' quest to find nocturnal honeypot ants seems to be more hazardous than expected.
