- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- Invasive species can have massive negative affects on a ecosystem and they can also cost the economy billions. Invasive Species Should not be villainized but here is usually a good reason why they should be removed from an ecosystem. Surprisingly we are not alone in our fight against invasive species as there are many native predators that are willing to help us out. In this video i will be going through just a few of these species as i will be going through 3 native species that hunt and control invasive species.

Thanks for watching i hope you enjoyed :)
Moray eels and groupers stopped lionfish from invading the entire right coast of America and adapted very quickly on how to eat them.
@@cadenz7719 I’m Putting My Facts And Opinions On One Of The Ocean’s Top Apex Predators The Fearsome And Magnificent Sharks And Sharks Have Been Known To Hunt Down And Eat These Lionfish And Keeping Their Numbers In Check Within The Ecosystem Of The Caribbean Sea!!!!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
We have those in the Gulf of Mexico also. Lionfish are a huge problem there.
🎶 Stick your hand in that crack and you won't get it back that's a moray 🎶
🎶 When the jaws open wide and there's more jaws inside that's a moray 🎶
🎶 When an eel bites your thigh and you bleed out and die that's a moray! 🎶
The question is how'd they do it so fast?
@@erikjohnson9223 true and there are sharks in the Gulf of Mexico keeping the lionfish in check!!!!🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈🦈
I also heard that Bobcats, a species native to Florida's ecosystems, have developed a taste for the eggs of invasive pythons...yet another example of nature restoring ecological balance in response to invasive species that don't belong
The big question isn't whether nature will bounce back from the damage we are doing. It's a question of it will bounce back in a way that's sustainable for Humans.
@@RRW359 the numbers wont bounce back for a very long time or at all. The best we can hope for is the ecosystem coming to a new balance. Removing a invasive speices is extremely difficult
@@paxamericania5923 It's even more difficult when you combine invasive species with all the other damage we are doing. What we need to do is try and keep things as stable as possible until we figure out how to be hands-off without being effected by a large-scale ecological restructuring. Also it would be nice to have some preserved areas so that future generations can learn about the past.
@@RRW359 fake propaganda. We and the earth will adapt fine hush
@@generalmarkmilleyisbenedic8895 And I'm sure there will be no economic turmoil and deaths (asside from what's already happening,it just hasn't effected everyone yet) in the process /s. Humanity survived Covid as well but that doesn't mean we were wrong to minimize the deaths it caused.
I know you've previously talked about how The American Alligator almost went extinct but was saved thanks to conservation efforts and now they number in the millions. Gators bouncing back from the brink is a godsend for Florida since then with all the invasive species plaguing said state.
And without them all of Florida's native floura and fauna would have been gone for good and replaced with the non native one's so we can be thankful we bounce there population back up to good health
But What About Reintroducing American Red Wolves Back Into The Everglades National Park To Hunt Down Some Of The Terrestrial Invasive Species In Florida?!?!?!
Good thing conservations efforts helped the gators. If they died off we might not have any big guns left to fight invasive life. The gator is the biggest we have.
American alligators also are a keystone species that dig holes in the Everglades muck. These “gator holes” are some of the few places that retain water during the dry season, allowing for the survival of many species of fish and waterfowl. American alligators are a fascinating species. 🐊
Their population explosion is also why alligators aren't reaching massive sizes too. Between competition for prey and alligator season for Florida's hunters like myself, the alligators usually don't reach their maximum size their species can possibly grow, which is estimated to be 20ft and 2,000lbs+. They hardly ever even reach above 17ft either, and Florida's FWC announced several years ago that they did find a 17ft long alligator dead in the Everglades but it wasn't verified by a team to officially hold a record, same with the 19ft specimen that a scientist found in the 1890s, it was so remote that officials at the time couldn't reach the location of the dead alligator and it was far too large to transport
All across the Americas cougars and jaguars have developed a taste for invasive wild boars and in some areas will even preferentially target pigs over their own native prey
Can't blame them for preferring bacon to venison.
Suckling pig is prime meat.
It could cause native species to grow out of control because the native prey won’t be hunted enough
Donkeys too.
@@coolkid9967 as long as both humans and alligators play their part, we will increase the chances of eradicating the Burmese python because the alligators will eat the juvenile pythons. The bobcats will eat the eggs and the humans get rid of the adults and it’s a simple as that.
Here in the UK the North American Grey Squirrel has outcompeted the native Red Squirrels and has almost driven them to extinction. However, it turns out that Pine Martens hunt Grey Squirrels more than Red Squirrels. This is because Pine Martens exclusively raid Grey Squirrel dreys (nests) during spring and summer so they can prey on the mother and offsprings. It is also suspected that Pine Martens prefer hunting Grey Squirrels because they are larger and more numerous than the natives. Grey Squirrels in areas with Pine Martens have been struggling and so these areas are where Red Squirrels still live due to Red Squirrels having evolved alongside Pine Martens. Pine Marten populations have been increasing for years, likely due to the new food source, and so a new effort to spread the population of Pine Martens was launched around two years ago and Grey Squirrel numbers have been slowly decreasing in Scotland and Northern England since.
It's a shame that whenever invasive species get discussed, the most devastating invasive species of all gets ignored, because its "cute": the domestic cat.
I've noticed this too. It's really sad and frustrating how people totally ignore the the fact that native species are going extinct. I love dogs, but I do acknowledge the fact that feral dogs are a problem. Cat owners on the other hand, don't seem to want to acknowledge the fact that cats wreak havoc on the environment.
Like 6:59 ish???
Coyotes and Great Horned Owls prey on them often. But yes housecats should be kept in the house otherwise they’re vermin.
Snail kites, a species of raptor that specializes in feeding on mollusks, has really helped keep the apple snail population here in Florida
I've lived (and still live) in south Florida, have my entire life, and the amount of invasives that have been slowly "controlled" is quite amazing. Granted, "controlled" is used very loosely, more in lieu of slowing down invasion rather than solving the problem, but, that being said, cane toads are also a big problem here, but notably have been seen being eaten by a variety of animals, hawks, crows, and even opossums have been recorded using the same strategy as the Australian water rats, flipping the toads over to eat the non-poisonous parts. Another animal that's been seen "controlling" invasive populations is the snail kite, which has been seen eating invasive island apple snails in increasing numbers (actually boosting their already threatened numbers). Great blue herons also commonly poach juvenile invasive reptiles, commonly eating invasive anoles, young iguanas, and other invaders such as fish not native to here. Another more interesting one is lion fish.. this time (not commonly at least) they are relatively unchallenged by other ocean life, but, humans have been eating them more and more, with many spots in the keys featuring them in seafood restaurants and so on. Another invasive animal that's commonly been hunted by other animals is the cuban tree frog, usually larger than native frogs, they are a common target by native snakes, birds, and small mammals. I could go on for hours because of how bad the invasive situation is here, but there is hope.
So Florida is so invaded that the invaders are cross invading ?
It's interesting how our state works. It is the most optimal environment for many exotic animals to survive in, yet Florida is still such a Hostile state that even invaders that take over being to find the Natives have been down these roads before. Florida is a hardy state and while control isn't the right word, the Florida nature is putting up a hell of fight and the animals, and even some plants, are adapting to these new obstacles. The large snakes and alligators are both apex predators who hunt one another, but also keep each other in check.
Ive heard that here in Finland the indigenous otters have started to drive away or even kill the invasive north american mink. Seeing the mink as competition. A river I frequent for fishing has a new otter living in the area, and all the mink have disapoeared in a short period of time
The Osprey have been hunting the Northern Snakeheads in the Chesapeake Bay. I've seen it.
Do a part 2 for sure. With regards to cane toads i find it quite ironic that their greatest defense mechanism - their poison glands actually results in toads dying far more gruesome deaths than if they weren’t poisonous for example the rakali ripping out their internal organs from their chest and crows do the same but pull their organs out through their mouths. Naturally they do that while the toads are alive while non poisonous frogs can at least be allowed a quicker death before being eaten. I imagine the organ toads predators would value most highly would be the stomach as the contents of it would be the sorts of prey items they would otherwise hunt so ripping out their stomach for an easy meal could potentially be a form of klepto-parasitism that is fatal to the victim species. But no mercy for invasive toads
Crows are a tough crowd.
You keep saying they’re poisonous, obviously they are not as some predators have worked out how to eat them. The Brush Turkey that visits every day to our backyard eats part of them too. It’s like say some snakes are poisonous, they are not. Venom/toxin in a gland does not mean an organism is poisonous.
Nature is fucking Metal!
Cats in our country have also learned this hunting technique, when they encounter a cane toad, they flip the pest over and attack them where they are vulnerable most.
I wonder if kookaburras can/have learned this approach too.
Big applause for this guy's work and for these three species 👏
thanks i really appreciate it :)
@@TsukiCove in my opinion your videos inspire me to be aware of animals and you really are underrated as a RUclipsr
In the Mississippi they are attempting to rehabilitate the alligator gar to combat Asian carp
Something to add here a full grown blue catfish can eat a full grown carp
and a couple of alligators
I know that our torresian crows (they have white eyes and look really cool) have also learnt how to dispatch of cane toads safely, and because of how social they are as a species I imagine they could quite quickly share this information amongst the population.
Grey wolf and Mountain lion could deffently help out with the feral hogs, aoudad rams, gemsbok oryx, and European/Asian deer
On the barrier islands in Georgia, wild boars have invaded and are driving sea turtles there to extinction since they are able to sniff and dig up turtle eggs buried beneath the sand.
I think you shouldve also mentioned the American Crocodile with the Gator. Sure its nowhere near as common as the gator but its much larger, aggressive and I think it would handle the Burmese easier then a gator
*than
The Pine Marten is making a comeback in Britain, and in areas with pine martens, native red squirrels out-compete invasive grey squirrels.
Red squirrels have been pushed out of most of the island by the grey invaders so it's good to see the native ecosystem fighting back and makes a perfect example for a future list!
First time hearing about the Rakani!
God they are cute
@Tsuki Little trivia regarding cane toads in Australia. Did you know that meat ants are completely immune to the cane toads poison? Whilst the ants themselves can drown in the poison, the poison itself doesn't affect them at all. This means that while the cane toad is waiting for its poison to kill its attackers, the ants are slowly eating the cane toad alive.
No mercy for invasive species
Just want to correct a common misconception you mentioned. Florida’s invasive herps are mostly NOT released pets. Almost every invasive reptile is traced to one specific introduction event.
Hurricane?
Hurricanes wouldn't introduce snakes from SE Asia (e.g. Burmese python). Pets were a big part of the problem. Ditto for lionfish. Yankees, stop coming to C & S. Florida. Y'all apear to lack brains and are an ecological catastrophe.
@@erikjohnson9223 buddy. The Burms came from a scientific breeding facility in Florida, not random pets. DNA evidence of “wild” burms confirmed it.
@@authenticpoppy yup a hurricane. Idk about stuff like tegus and iguanas but the Burmese population in Florida was traced back to a breeding facility that got damaged from a hurricane some years ago.
@@ulliamodell5451 many of the small lizards introduced were released by individuals, (usually) farmers, trying to control pests.
never a bad video from this channel! love the work you put in keep it up man!
Thanks i really appreciate it and will do :)
There is a species of hawk in Hawaii that targets invaders such as rats and chameleons
I live in Florida and had 2 cane toads that set up shop in my koi pond. It took 3 baby koi disappearing for me to get a clue. It then took us months to catch them and send them to the Valhalla.
For the Cane Toad, I'm surprised you didn't give the Keelback an honourable mention. Due to Steve Irwin, that was the first species I thought of, that dealt with Cane Toads.
I find invasive species to be quite interesting and how they are being taken down by native species even moreso,so yeah,a series would be nice.
Alligator: Now This looks like a job for me.
A good example of a species that controls invasive species is the dingo. While technically not a native predator, they filled a niche that had been left vacant and have been around in Australia long enough that the native species have adapted to their presence, so they can almost be classed as a native predator. In the areas they still roam, they control the populations of foxes and feral cats.
pretty sure if you throw in a few big cats or bears in Australia, they'd trim down the herbivore population, which is what Australia needs. Rabbits destroy like how much every year again?
@@Valigarmanda uuuh, u do know that they’re not gonna the small and fast critters since it won’t be worth the effort right? And introducing new foreign species don’t usually work out, like the cane toads which is also introduced into Australia but is hunting the other native species instead of the foreign invasive ones.
The only worse thing about bringing in wildcats and bears compared to the toad is the fact that they’re big animals with barely any rivals in their own ecosystem 😑so there’s no way that they’re gonna have any control group in Australia besides the humans
Feral cats keep rodents away. I'd rather have them around
@@plantfeeder6677 True. The problem is, here in Australia, feral cats kill like a million native animals each year.
@@plantfeeder6677 goanas and big lizards native to there already do that, feral cats are overkill.
Slight correction, the vast majority of Florida’s non natives/invasives are from hurricane Andrew or were stowaways on cargo ships
One really dangerous invasive species that we have in North America is the Wild Hog
very good video
thanks i appreciate it :)
Thanks For Teaching Me Something, I Have Never Heard Of A Rakali Until Watching This
Australia and South Africa were warned about mesquite and tun (prickly pear) cactus. No one listened and the result was spectacular. Rather than learn to use them, the goofs outlawed having any. Cattle will eat tun thorns and all, and eat the leaves off a mesquite (it has the same feed value as clover) if trained to them.
In the UK, a specie of wildcat also hunt the invasive grey squirrels who’re outcompeting the native red squirrels
Tsuki, thank you for another great video. I went to Australia in 1965 the cane toad was just in the midlatitudes of Queensland. It was erroneously thought they would not g over the top into Western Australia. They entered the Kimberly Region of WA in 2009. They are predicted to cover most of the coastal plain except the mountains in the east in the future. If you look at the WA Parks and Wildlife Service you will see what is being done to protect the animals. This is laying bait sausages laced with a low level of toad toxin and an emetic. The idea is to make the animal sick so it will have an aversion to toads. Something I did read a few years back was that Cane Toads were evolving to adapt to a more arid climate.
Just READING THIS video TiTLE made me happy & smile ‘out loud!’ A nice positive change, for once, to the usual grim topics about invasive species!❤
Great video! Yes, please make a series of these.
will do :)
How about invasive species that control invasive species? Invasive pacu fish introduced by accident turned out to keep the invasive hydrilla plant under control here in Texas.
Alligator gar are very successful predators of invasive asian carp in the US. However they've been in decline for a long time because people have been culling them because they think they're dangerous and they aren't good for eating. If we can reintroduce them to more places it would help a lot with the asian carp problem.
For more of Flordia's native predators, I would say Flordia Panthers, Black Bears, and red wolves (if they can be reintroduced to the everglades) can certainly help
Red wolves don't do any more than coyotes.Less actually.
I heard that scientists are planning on genetically modifying quolls to be immune to cane toad poison. I am curious to hear about what everyone thinks about that.
Hooray for the native species! 👍💯👏♥️
Dingos is known to kill red foxes to decrease competition and saltwater crocodiles are known to eat crane toads, as they're immune to their toxic glands.
I've personally witnessed a sharp-shinned hawk prey on an invasive European starling here in New Hampshire.
There are multiple videos of raccoons hunting and killing invasive iguanas in south Florida, so you can add them to your list!
thank you for educating me about our native car RAKALI. .. NATURE always finds a way
One big one people hate to talk about, coyotes. There been found to a direct link between areas with healthy coyote populations and the health of the local bird population… because coyotes 1. eat feral and outdoor cats and 2. cats learn to avoid the coyotes. There is a similar relationship in Australia with the dingo and cats and foxes but there’s also debate about the dingo being native and that’s a whole other can of worms (I’m on the “it’s native now” team for dingos).
I would love to see this as a series!
Please more vids like this!! Such a cool format
The Great Lakes are really clean now because of the mussels.
You have a new sub, I watch as much natural sciences about our flora and fauna and space and everything I can as I couldn’t learn in the school system in the 80-90. I was suggested this vid, it did not disappoint. Thank you. I saw a documentary one invasive species not long ago and indeed the cane toad is now becoming a meal from any down under and the baby gators will eat small cane toads, but it has been said that they get a micro dose from the baby cane toads and spit them out and now know not to eat cane toads.
The cassowary in Australia’s rain forest are on the verge of destruction and it is thanks to the invading species of the wild pig, they not only eat the vegetation and destroy and top soil so trees have an ever time at starting to grow and mature, but they also eat the egg and chicks of the cassowary. David Attenborough said they have some measures in place but not near enough to save the cassowary yet and if they go, that forest will die as the cassowary is the Gardner of this tropical forest! Also greta news, for the Great Barrier Reef! They have been gardening corals in figi (taking corals from Australia, bringing it to figi and breaking off each individual branch, they let the m grow for 6 to 8 weeks and replant the ever never dying off corals in the Great Barrier Reef! Speaking of corals, the sister seas the red Sea and the Persian Gulf , the Red Sea is the saltiest in the world with 42z salinity and one of the warmest, yet corrals have found a way to flourish in those seas, they are another option to ship to the Great Barrier Reef if ever he seas warm up again. The most invasive species is us, homo sapien sapiens! By the sea farers of old, they would drag a heavy bar on the bottom of the ocean (kind of like the ever so unethical over fisheries or the east) those bar killed off deep corrals that were over 1000 years old. We are the keeper of this world, simply because we found common ground and pooled ur collective intelligence, give the great apes (especially the orangutang, orange man of the tree) and you could have another great ape able to speak and such as we did like when we evolved from Australopithecus into homo erectus and homo habilis and homo Neanderthal, homo …… many branches of man. It took us 7 million years to come out of the trees and it took another 5 million years for us to evolve into the first homo gene. The only reason we came out or the trees is because our forest (real climate change is cyclical on this blue ball) turned into the Savannah’s of Africa now and started eating meat, once we got to cooking meat and eating more pure proteins our brains reformed and evivled to the 2 front lobes, emotions and back bottom of the brains for de sic ion making
The problem with the Tegu is it targets eggs and they very adept at this.
Neat video! Makes me worried about Florida. So many invaders, so few turning the tide, seems like. Thanks for uploading!
Im glad Florida has its Alligator considering it was almost hunted to extiction. I know its hunted again in some areas but i hope they protect the largest individualis for this reason. But knowing hunters they like going for the largest possible.
I do hope they leave the big ones alone. they may be a threat to humans but they do have a better chance of killing the bigger invasive species that manage to elude eradication.
We have crocodiles too but they’re more rare
Interesting and informative, as always

Perfectly balance as all things should be.
Meat ants are known to target cane toads, especially since they stand still went attacked, which allows the ants to kill them right there
I like that music at the end of the video and your video was interesting so far
I'd certainly be interested to see a series of these 'home defender' species. Pretty cool topic.
I have long been wondering if we can teach or modify native species to hunt invasive species. These examples are worth studying.
@@the11382
I mean that's what's being done for lionfish.
@@jaschabull2365 That was a failure, unfortunately.
@@the11382
I thought it was pretty new, have people given up on that already?
Yay. & Some unsung heroes forsure
I wonder if it's possible for someone to train local corvids in Australia to actively kill cane toads, as they're likely smart enough for the task and also not poisoning themselves in the process.
Just a weird...random thought, logistically it sounds like a nightmare now that I think about it.
Great video👍
In some cases humans can also hunt invasive species for consumption. That way the remains of the invaders don't go to waste
When times were better in Russia and trade was more free, demand for nutria (coypu) pelts was high enough that people in the US would hunt them.
Pine martens and grey squirrels in the UK.

You've missed two local examples. The return of otters to British waterways is leading to a decline in invasive mink. And the return of Pine Martins is benefiting red over grey squirrels
Martens, not martins.
I hope make this a series
Zebra muscles..cleaned up the great lakes that were a polluted mess in the 60's
i found a zebra mussel in one of the canals near warwickshire a while back and i remember seeing tons in a lake in hungary when i was a kid
Thank you for your service animals eating invasive species.
Lake Erie has an issue with the invasive round goby fish, but the Lake Erie watersnake there is said to be its main predator.
And sturgons eat them as well
Smallmouth bass are getting fat from eating gobies. Other species of predator fish are probably doing the same(except for walleyes, which apparently like to eat large lead weights😁)
please make it a series
Just discovering your channel threw that video ! Please make it a série !!
will do :)
The shell cracker was introduced to Lake Havasu to control the quake muscle and have even so many muscles that the record red eared slider weight has increased by about 50% over the last dseveral years.
I also heard that the saltwater crocodile can sometimes control invasive cane toads since they are sometimes immune to the toads' poisonous flesh.
I've had a variety of creatures dumped on me when l lived abroad which l had to deal with.
The domestic Cat is a real problem because they kill a variety of native wildlife.
I get them neutered and an easy solution is to train them young with a harness, walk them and keep them indoors instead of letting them out free to roam.
Stops them from 💩 in neighbours gardens too.
I treat them just like dogs so can take them anywhere quite easily without needing any cumbersome carriers . Coaches, trains, bars, stayed in hotels that allow pets etc
From being predatory pests, you can create purrfect companions 🤗
the biggest reptile retail whole seller on the east coat was in dade county and was completely recekd during hurricane Andrew and thousands escaped thats the main reason we have so meny
The biggest control for zebra mussels are round gobies which are also invasive. Its causing an boom in smallmouth bass which target gobies.
Have lived in Florida all my life. We have more invasive species than anywhere in the world. Whether released when they get too large for pet owners (or in the case of snakes, they are escape artists). Unbelievably in Coral Gables there are Nike Monitor Lizards which are quite dangerous primarily for pets. Of course the pythons in the Everglades are the biggest problem at the moment and the best the state can do is minimize the problem through capture. But the Everglades is an ideal environment for these snakes and we'll never get rid of them completely.
Spell-Correct or the proximity of "k" and "l" on the keyboard have turned "Nile Monitor" into "Nike Monitor." Even the captive raised Nile monitors I have interacted with were jerks. I much prefer salvator monitors they are larger and seem to enjoy human interaction when tame.
Yup. I’m subscribing.
Other than humans, terrestrial or semi-aquatic placental mammals native to Australia are few and far between, but 5:31 is one of them.
They believe now cane toads aren’t being eaten by crocodiles anymore due to them figuring out there poisonous
This sounds like the bait aversion they are using for animals. If the crocodile eats a toad and gets sick it is not going to eat it again. I wonder if they can lean from one another I would not be surprised.
Here in Australia Saltwater Crocodile’s, which are native, prey heavily on Invasive Water Buffalo and Feral Pigs

@@TsukiCove ik that...but what about the update
I also heard that wild boars in Alberta and Saskatchewan, Canada are eaten by Grey wolves
The lady being blinded by hitting it with a hammer took me tf out 🫠😂😂😂
It’s kinda funny how the main animal Florida is known for, the alligator, is the guy killing the most invasive species.
It’s like their defending their turf.

She should’ve used goggles.
Alligators are the protectors of the Everglades! 🐊💪
Respect Florida's champion!
Woodpeckers Should Be In Part 2 Cause They Eat Invasive Bugs That Damage Trees Such As Emerald Ash Borer And Aisan Longhorn Beetle
I think other examples are: Australian predators (wild dogs and eagles as an example) eating rabbits, I also think that European Beavers control populations of muskrats via competition. I do remember that some introduced crabs and shells now get eaten by native birds in Germany.
This goes to show you that not all heroes wear capes
