5 Introduced And Invasive Species In The USA
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 15 июл 2024
- On this channel I've made plenty of videos on invasive species. These are animals that have been introduced into ecosystems where they don't belong and have had a negative affect on the ecosystem itself. There are also many introduced species that go under the radar as they aren't viewed as invasive. In this video i will be focusing on the USA as I will be going through 5 invasive and introduced species that were born in the USA.

Wow , it's so bloody weird that lemurs are in USA.
Or monkeys
Didn’t know either of those where an USA invasive
Yeah who knew
I really thought the lemurs were gonna be in Florida. Because there is always something in Florida. Then bam thee monitor lizards are in Florida lol.
This has to be one of the most british comments ive ever seen
Of all the species to be out of their range and be in the US, I was not at all expecting Lemurs to be in that category.
Luckily it's on a carefully monitored island study.
same thought than you. i was expecting feral nilgai in USA too
Duke University has a dedicated Lemur research center, but I haven't heard of any ecsapes.
@@georgesakellaropoulos8162 They found what was suspected to be an escapee years ago but it was a wayward Ringtail or Coati.
invasive or not, they are individuals and they did not come of their own accord but were brought by some criminal, so they should not be harmed. This is not human immigration policy
@@henryturnerjr3857 we had a coati at our rehab in the everglades
The Italian wall lizard was introduced to Long Island as escapees in the 1960s from a pet shop in Elmont. They now thrive all over Long Island, and have since spread to the Bronx, lower New York State, and Connecticut by using railroad tracks as conduits. Separate introductions occurred in several other midwestern states and also British Columbia. They have adapted well to the colder climate and currently do not conflict with native lizard species. In Long Island, which no longer has native lizards because of increased human population, the Italian wall lizard has carved out a new suburban niche.
@@Steves_fish It was an Alsatian Typo.
Maybe someday, if the situation ever improves in Madagascar, the decedents of the Georgia lemurs can be reintroduced there if they ever become extinct in their home range.
Living near Ocala in Florida you learn about the monkeys really quick. Originally introduced for the original Tarzan movie, the monkeys brought with them a different type of HIV that doesn’t affect them only humans. It is also encouraged to shoot monkeys if your in a safe place to do so, but it’s also stressed to not touch the cadaver cause of the aforementioned HIV.
It's herpes, not HIV. Don't feed the monkeys, don't touch the monkeys, don't kill the monkeys. Stay away from them and you'll be fine.
My Wife grew up seeing Monitor Lizards in South Africa.
The Red Bishop is a striking bird, with it's vivid colors.
I appreciate you sharing. Thankyou very much.
Take care Sir. 👍😊❤️
The red bishop is one of my favorites.
3:28 It's somewhat ironic then that North America used to have various lemur species back in the early Cenozoic.
It's a Journey to the West for these "monkeys"
I know they aren't monkeys but I feel I have to clarify that just so someone that feels the need to correct me DOESN'T
@@mjkhan9664 Well now i have to do so
they aint monkeys >:]
I’ve lived in Alabama my whole life and had no idea blue bulls were over here. Might have to check that out!
Very common in South Texas
The real question is: Are they delicious?
@@bobbiusshadow6985 yes, we hunt them here rlly good meat
Well in India they kick the shit out of us
@@AVX_EDITZ huh?
Alot of parrots such as lovebirds are a non-native bird species found across North America as escaped pets. Another common non-native bird is the Eurasian Collared Dove which where originally native to Europe and Asia but got introduced to North America and Japan as exotic pets. 🦜🕊
There's a small breeding population just South of Wilmington NC.
I think there's a population of Cockatoos/tiels in the Everglades as well
We have a few Eurasian Dove populations in Upstate SC, they are a bit bigger and lighter colored than the common Mourning Doves.
it's almost comical how that works. People started importing Raccoons as pets to east asia and Europe where they've become an invasive species, I can only assume they did this as payback for things like English Ivy, milfoil, and kudzu being dumped in the US and wrecking havoc.
Suprisingly Collard Doves are not classified as an invasive species despite being common and they have no effect on other native species. They can be a nuisance like any other native species
Here in Bangladesh the blue bulls have gone extinct. We'd be very grateful if just 1% of the extant population in the US were to be reintroduced here
Bangladesh is rapidly urbanizing, wilderness for big mammals like the nilgai to survive on is extremely scarce there.
Blue bulls in Texas are all within high fence ranches and have been sold to other states with ranches mentioned in this video. None live outside of captivity, in the us all deer, elk, and exotic species that are similar are highly regulated. If some got out they would be hunted within the week for their rarity. The exotic hunting market for blue bulls in the us might actually save the species to be reintroduced to their natural habits because of the strict regulations and passions hunters have carved out for the next generation
The fact there is a monkey that can truly relate to our struggles of stress and drown them in alcohol shows how spiritually related we are to the monkeys
Happens with other animals as well, probably because many drugs including alcohol occur naturally. Elephants and even bees will seek out alcohol and get wasted, bees have even evolved to have "bouncers" that will kick out drunk bees until they sober up. Monkeys and apes will intentionally seek out fermented fruit and palm sap to get drunk and some other animals like ruminants have been found to get lightly drunk off certain types of rotting fruit. Elephants have been known to even attack villages to raid their breweries and will sometimes get drunk and attack people or other animals. Some rodents like sugar gliders will also seek out fermented sap and some have even evolved to tolerate the alcohol.
Bees will also sometimes use cocaine (eat coca leaves) and when they get back to the hive they'll over exaggerate everything and report back saying they found far more nectar then they actually found just like people getting amped up and exaggerating things while high. Sheep and goats have been known to get addicted to certain lichen that are a narcotic to them and will even lose their teeth trying to scrape the lichen off rocks somewhat similar to meth addicts losing their teeth.
Speak for yourself
You might to need to get help if that’s the case
I've lived in coastal Georgia all my life and have worked with the department of natural resources and I had no idea we had lemurs here.
They're crafty animals, they found out if they work in management they can prevent DNR officers from messing with them. the department head for DNR is actually 3 lemurs in a trench coat and large hat.
You worked with the department of natural resources and you had no idea we had lemurs here? That, in itself, speaks volume
I had this idea of an Ice Age themed safari park that includes some what if speculation of some non-native animals and if they ever occupied or originated in North America back in the Pleistocene.
I know that Capybaras did.
Pleistocene park is already a thing in Russia(though may be going through some issues due to current events) and I read that some American groups want to start a similar project in Alaska using species native to the America's
I wonder if it’s ever possible to capture the invasive species of a region and bring them back to their native range.
That explains how King Julian knows about The New York Giants.
One species you have to mention in the next video is the Ring-Necked Pheasant, as its a species that has been synonmous with the USA since it was introduced.
I live in New England and we have a very healthy population of Ring necks around where I live . I see them all the time. My kids like to see them they are pretty tame and will let you feed them. Lol probably not a good idea.
I love how he went on a tangent about a species of monkey's balls.
Live in south Texas yup Nilgai are a nuisance, a friend of mine had an incident hitting one with his truck a few days ago.
Crab eating macaques also counts as an invasive species in some countries.
You should look into the game reserves in Texas. It's wild! There's entire populations of antelopes that dwarf their native numbers back in Africa. Some of them are listed as endangered in their native habitats but exist in the hundreds of thousands in the hunting parks.
I've looked some up, I'd love to check it out, but in all reality I'd just be happy if someone would let me clear out coyotes or hogs on their land
@@xandriatyson6834 upstate NY could use your services
Damn that gives me a reason to move down there.
Love to see another piece on Canada...we have more destructive invasive species than many people would imagine
Especially in the PNW since the area is geographically isolated and there are many endemic species here. Because of that there are TONS of invasive species wrecking havoc. I've seen forests choked out by English ivy, lakes completely dead due to milfoil infestations, and we're experiencing a lot of damage from some invasive snail and mussel species like Zebra mussels. A major lake near where I grew up lost all the native fish, plants, and other life in the water due to milfoil and 1 type of freshwater snail and hundreds of thousands of dollars of work over decades couldnt revive it. There's a species of gopher teetering on the edge of extinction in Washington (forget the species name but its a type of pocket gopher) because house cats have killed most of them off.
I'm in Texas and I have never heard of this blue antelope.
If you'd like to learn more about the Vervet monkeys, I did a short film with the population we have here ruclips.net/video/HJzUxoRbxFE/видео.html
As a Native American, I know better than anyone the impact invasive species can have.
@Spencer York Well, duh. I’m not from India. I’m indigenous. Specifically from Canada. Top marks on observation, though. I am curious however, why you felt the need to point this out?
Hey Tsuki, i love your videos! For a new series idea, you could do national holiday videos. An example is for Canadian Independence Day, July 1st, you could do a list of animals native to a specific territory/providence of Canada and for US Independence Day, animals only found in one state
Wow, I looked up the blurred images and I have to say, lovely! That is a pretty set, inspiring, baby blue vs the shade of blue ours get.
Missed some of the biggest in number ones in the states starlings, sparrows, & almost all the earth worms. Starlings at one point nearly caused a massive drop in the bluebird population & the only native worms in the south eastern part of the country were either aquatic or live in wood.
Just commented, re: earthworms; I wonder how different the pre-colonial ecosystem of Indiana (my home state -- I have very mixed feelings about it) was from today. Way more large mammals and trees/forests...
Most worms are still non-native in lots of the US
Great video 👍
I absolutely love my pet Nile monitor! Clever is an understatement when it comes to Nyla, she has learned how to open doors, cupboards, and climb stairs to find me or someone else when hungry. She eats EVERYTHING, I feed her many birds, mammals, organs, smaller reptiles, eggs, fish and especially seafood. She has eaten alligator meat and absolutely loves it but it’s a rare treat. Despite her destructive nature, I wouldn’t give her up no matter what. She’s 4.5 feet now and I’m pretty sure she’s done growing. Another thing about her tail, just like my iguana, her tail is a true whip. She’s whipped both my parents and drawn blood. It’s her second best weapon.
I also have a Burmese python who was actually born in Florida and I can talk about her if anyone cares
I love Burmese Pythons. Was she captured as an invasive species? I often expressed interest in buying these snakes instead of killing them. There are many of us willing to give these snakes homes. I have 2 male Albino Burmese Pythons and I would love to have the Wild Type as well.
@@karyannfontaine8757 she actually was!
Alabama is the most biodiverse state in the USA. It has a subtropical climate and more than 77,000 miles of waterways and rivers running through the state. It's amazing more non-native species haven't been discovered there.
I disagree with most biodiverse. I would say it's definitely Florida
And no palm trees in central and north Alabama. So weird.
@@mr.d00m37 have you ever done research or you just spouting? I'm not just stating my opinion. Or be a simpleton and google something? It's Alabama. Florida is not that biodiverse, its hot year round and very humid. I left Florida years ago, Cali is more biodiverse..
@@GalenlevyPhoto quite a few palm trees grow in Alabama and its 3 or 4 different species I believe. It's not one big hot sandbox so the palms that grow in AL are cold hearty. It has some of Appalachia foothills and hot sandy beaches.
@@DrDoobie4Twenty I know southern Alabama is very diverse
Great video
Some infamous invasive species from my state: lamprey, zebra mussel, asian carp, mute swans, and I think a species (or several) of Goby
Awesome video
Video idea: 5 more animals that have made their homes with humans
Examples: Falcons, Owls, Small snakes, Opossums and skunks.
For part two I'd include; The Scaly-breasted Munia aka Spice Finch. It is now seen in coastal California such as San Diego (I have them around my place) Los Angeles, and the south San Francisco Bay Area. Fallow Deer, European Starling, Sambar Deer. Eurasian Collared Dove.
King Julien is fun but the true icon of the ring tailed lemur will always be Zabomafoo.
I thought you said Blue Balls instead of Blue Bulls... glad I didn't have to wait long to learn of some real blue balls!
I would include the Asian carp, it’s not a problem where I’m at but it’s really bad in some of the states
I think it would be a great series If you did "the animals that don't originate there but you'd like to see how they would do if they were introduced?" ~ just as a creative side project to let you come up with your own ideas instead of having to just research events that have happened. You understand ecosystems pretty darn good, so I think you'd come up with good suggestions for creative animal introductions. (It can all be a Hypothetical experiment type approach)
Great videos. We have northern red bishops, caimen, pythons and many more invasive species in Puerto Rico.
the ability to adapt to changes is really important in a world that introduced species exist
Phoenix AZ, small green parrots were brought in and either escaped or were released and are becoming increasingly invasive.
Also here in Phoenix are starlings, thought to have been blown in by a storm have taken a sizable toll on the local varieties of doves.
I didn’t even know that there were feral nilgai in Mississippi and I live here, but I couldn’t find any information about them when I looked it up
All species of earthworms in a significant portion of the US (and most, if not all, of Canada) are non-native/introduced/invasive. And, if I'm not mistaken, earthworms that are native to the western hemisphere also typically fill a smaller niche in their ecosystem, with a corresponding reduction in the sizes of their populations.
Hi I love thes videos
I dont know very much about invasive animals, but i know a whole lot about invasive plants. Technkcally rhe dandelion is invasive but it doesnt seem to have any negative effects, and rhen there is mulein wbich also doesnt seem to be doing anything bad. Knotweed and and black locust however are doing real damage and difficult to control.
you should do a video on animals that have made it off the endangered list
Peach Faced Love Birds(small parrots native to southwest Africa) have adapted very well and are very common to see roaming wild in the hot desert city of Phoenix, Arizona. Which is strange because Phoenix is such a dry, hot, and unforgiving landscape and yet these lovebirds are usually found near bodies of water in their native lands where it doesn't get so hot. They have been observed utilizing man made objects such as Air Conditioning vents to cool down in the hot summer.
You should do a video just on Saint Catherine’s island. There are so many introduced species there.
good job tsuki
should've included the Blue Catfish which was introduced in the James River in Virginia and has since spread all across the Chesapeake Bay area and further south
The flathead catfish is a problem in some areas where it was introduced as well. One state was actually paying a bounty for them years back!
@@henryturnerjr3857 Speaking of bounties, you can get $6 a tail for Nutria in Louisiana. Those things destroy thousands of acres of land.
@@robertwright4967 Yeah I've heard about that. We also have them in NC but I don't think they are as out of control yet.
Nilgai didn't come to Texas as zoo animals, they came here as additions to hunting ranches, but some escaped and the rest is history.
I would appreciate the inclusion of the monk parakeet and the oryx in a future video of invasive species in the US. Thanks, and keep up the good wok that you do.
@@Steves_fish and Spain too
I have an idea for a video topic, 5 Strangest Cave-Dwelling Creatures. I just saw a clip of an olm (some cave salamander) and it literally looks like it’s from another planet
House sparrows and European starlings had an effect on the bluebird population in the eastern USA
Also make a video about the invasive species in Madagascar
Nilgai are gorgeous. There's a decent population of them here in the RGV in Texas
There's a lot of Oryx in NM and TX, introduced in the 60s for hunting
Do invasive species of the Galapgos islands! There are many to choose and u can explain a goat war
I don’t remember the name of the species, but I remember their being a parrot that is isolated to a single desert town in the U.S. They can’t expand their territory because they are resource locked to the town. But they will nest in cacti.
Please make a video about the about extinct animals with the Falkland Island wolf
Spotted Lanternfly would be good for a future list
There's a population of peach faced lovebirds in Phoenix Arizona, since they are escape artists and the desert weather favors them, they flourished there once they escaped from their cages
You should do one with the parrots in Connecticut
Idea if you do another guess the skull than do the hammerhead bat
European Starlings and House Sparrows should probably be at the top of the list of invasive species in the U.S...
You should do invasive species of the Caribbean. There are many.
As time goes on. I honestly I am not shocked that so many animals are able to thrive here in the Americas. Especially here in Florida. Perfect weather and perfect environment.
Not sure if you've mentioned them before, but there's a small herd of zebras in southern California
Source?
@@mr.d00m37 San Simeon California city website
There are Monk Parakeets in Brooklyn, New York that have been there for decades.
I’m from Phoenix AZ, any videos specific for Maricopa county?
Blue bulls would be consider exotic game in Texas. A good idea for another video would be fallow deer from India if you haven’t covered it. Deer, elk, and exotic similar species are insanely monitored within Texas. Although you mentioned 30k, 99.99% if not 100 are all within high fence areas. Exotics are bred in captivity and males that climb the pecking order when they shouldn’t are exchanged to different ranches via helicopter. There is simply too much money to let any live outside of a high fence.
In Van Nuys, California there are green parrots like there are pigeons in New York city. Everywhere! They were released by owners and a beer company when they couldn't find them homes.
maybe pleco fish/suckermouth catfish/armoured catfish (anything this fish called) can be include on your invasive animal list..
Sika deers near Washington DC is introduced species too!
I know they're on the Eastern Shore of the Chesapeake in both MD and VA.
You could do the African Oryx, they are an invasive species to southern NM
Hey, great videos, very informative. I'm from Mississippi, and I've never heard of nilgai, or blue bull being present in the state. Could you tell, or anyone else, tell me where you learned that from? I know there's an exotic game ranch in Amite County, but I didn't figure they [nilgai] were just free-ranging in parts of the state.
Wikipedia says there are some escapees from private ranches but it's uncited.
From what I could find, some rich dude in Texas got a few blue bulls as a gift, he bred them, and eventually they escaped and became invasive.
Thanks @Ramses and @Calvin_Coolage I came to similar results, including the uncited Wikipedia article.
They're very stealthy and camouflage into the blue sky, then drop down from above on unsuspecting prey. Over 300 people go missing from Paul B. Johnson State Park each year. The blue bulls eat them bones and all. It's all in the same uncited unverified web article used for the wikipedia page.
(7:27) I neva no about dis bird in Hawaii. Neva see 1, yet. But we get the Alexander Parakeet or is it called someting like a Parrot.
What’s up Broski 🦋.
I live in the USA and had literally no idea these creatures were here! Wow!
The Green Iguana in Florida is also extremely invasive with its high population.
Please Return To The Largest Saltwater And Freshwater Fish Lists
3:10 looks like I’m going to Georgia now
Teacher had a pet lemur that she would bring to class. Good times.
The lemur is a weird one but not too bad compared to the monkeys in Florida way down south
you should look into gembok in nm
What about five invasive species in the UK? Red eared terrapins, grey squirrels, american mink, corpu rats and american bull frogs. That would be an interesting video....
You can add the Signal Crayfish and the Rainbow Trout.
You forgot Asian Giant Hornets (murder hornets) accidentally released into Washington State from a shipment from Japan.
Live on the alabama/Florida boarder.
Ive noticed a sharp decline in green anole population and a sharp increase in brown anole population. Im wondering if they made their way further north... really hope we dont get more invasive species creeping out of florida...
Florida escaped animals are from the hurricanes where the owners abandoned their animals when fleeing.
You missed literally the most invasive of them all starlings.
Next up house finches and house sparrows.
Tegu and Lionfish but you've already done those. Chameleons in Florida as well
what isn't invasive in Florida?
I thought you'd mention starlings.
they came over in celebration of William Shakespeare's birthday, but that 100 starlings has turned into millions and have spread throughout the continent.
Could you do a list of invasive animals that originated from Africa?
You forgot the Oryx in New Mexico/Texas, they are on White Sand Missile Range.
The Jackson’s chameleon in Hawaii (I think California as well)
How about the european starling Probably the worst invasive species. There's also the spotted lantern fly
7:08 killed me 😂
Why do Nilgai, a species of antelope, look so damn bovine?
Oryx down here in Southern New Mexico.
