I was sent this photo by a neighbor she claims it is a great white she saw while stand up paddling. I’ve lived in that area all my life and never seen any shark that size.

Organized by retired State Park biologist Mark Faull, along with current State Park biologists and I found several shells and live snails of this poorly known species in Red Rock Canyon State Park. We hope to shed light on how closely it is related to other Sonorelix in the Mojave Desert. We were very glad to find that it still survives here, despite climate warming and drought.

Probably Lesser (canadensis) as that's the dominate SSP in neighboring Imperial county at the Salton Sea and the red crown seems fairly limited.

Mother and pup. Photos 1, 2, 3 are the mother, photo 4 is the pup. They (and a 3rd seal I saw later) had green algae growing all over them.

Predating a hatchling Western Yellow-Bellied Racer (Coluber constrictor mormon). The racer was still alive when I first found them. It was either envenomated and killed or it became paralyzed and was eaten alive.
In 2020, I observed very a similar situation, where a DOR hatchling racer was scavenged by a nightsnake.

Maybe a Colima maybe a Colima X Virginia's - a potential hybrid swarm has been known from the upper elevation sod the Davis Mountains for some time now. A researcher from Texas Tech U is now looking into the issue and this is one of the birds he caught and took DNA from.

A spotted night snake ate this variable sandsnake (probably because they spent the night together in the same trap). When we handled the night snake, it decided to regurgitate its recently eaten prey.

Mating? The larger brighter colored one emerged first, followed by the two slightly smaller drabber colored ones, who wrapped themselves around it when it stopped.

Found another mystery KRP Spadefoot in the same area as the last one. I am now leaning towards Great Basin Spadefoot, which I think is still a fairly big range extension.

PLEASE READ FOR ID.
Just killed by Coyote. The coyote was joined by its juvenile pup and then the male. She chased the male away to have the meal to herself and let the juvenile watch.
Edit: Note I saw species in same area three years ago: https://www.inaturalist.org/observations/54302918
This is not a gopher snake, contrary to what I IDed it as to start. I thought it was a weird "morph" but due to range; it was the only species that made sense. Zoom in and look closely; it does not have the correct barred markings. ID credit goes to herpetologist Robert Hanson. He also IDs it as female. This is a Sierra Gartersnake - Thamnophis couchii https://californiaherps.com/snakes/pages/t.couchii.html. Though east of its range it is possible that it came here via humans either released after tiring of it or by accident via produce box from the orchards in Tehachapi area or camping gear from someone camping at Brite Lake. It was caught in habitat where it would thrive due to lakes filled with fish and toads and plenty of tall grass, cattails, and other plants for mice and the snake to hide in.

Eating a Rufous Owl Ninox rufa.
While the quality of the photo isn't great, I clearly observed (with binoculars) the shape of the python's head, its slender body, and its colour (pale grey with darker, sparse, markings) which all suggested the ID of Oenpelli python.
Observed in a patch of monsoon forest beside a sandstone scarp.
