Jeff,
These clips are great! We just developed a middle school science unit on amphibian and reptile conservation and I think that I'm going to link some of these videos for the student resources. The first lesson of the unit focuses on why we should care about herps and the videos have the right message and are of a perfect length for this audience. I'll be on the lookout for more of these as you produce them. Great work!

Hellbenders, sirens, amphiumas... "Some of the most intriguing animals in the world are ones we seldom see because they are part of our hidden biodiversity. Among the most unusual are the giant salamanders." Please enjoy the latest video in our your-long series starring Whit Gibbons and produced by The Sticky Tongue Project. http://youtu.be/O2OPq-V1DIY

Reptile sounds. This episode features some outstanding footage including a Western Hognose Snake (hissing!), American Alligators and a VERY large Eastern Diamondback Rattlesnake. http://youtu.be/7YFLzQYriEw
