do you hunt them for food? give them bread crumbles soaked in whiskey. they get drunk very fast and then are easy to catch. i wonder if this may work for wild boars too. you bring a bottle to a boar, you drink it together, and you declare each other the best friend forever.... but then can you, drunk or sober, kill your best friend, even if he or she is a wild boar?
in 1859, some guy name Thomas Austin brought over rabbits to Australia because there weren't any animals to be hunted in the outback, so rabbits were introduced to be hunted which was a very bad idea because what it says he had 13 European wild rabbits sent to him from across the world, which he let roam free on his estate. From this one backyard sanctuary, it took only around 50 years for these invasive (meaning non-native to the land) rabbits to spread across the entire continent. So rabbits in Australia are also invasive species because one guy wanted to hunt the rabbits and cause the destruction of farmers crops and land.
Asian Carp here in the states was in private ponds until flooding along the Mississippi River released them into the waterways where they threaten the Great Lakes.
So now humans have a new food source. High in protein. Low in fat. 😋 Beats the hell out of kangaroos. Lol. You have wild hogs too and I can tell you that is some good eatin. 😋😋😋
@@Nomadic9900 You can't live on rabbit alone. There's not the range of vitamins and minerals. Not that anybody's going to try. Also camels are now wild in Australia.
I remember one time when I went to Hawaii and went to a Costco to get supplies, and in the food stands there were literally chickens wandering around the seating areas.
I grew up on the islands, the chickens didn’t seem as prevalent when I was younger but they’re absolutely everywhere now! Do you think they were grocery shopping at that Costco too? 😂
@@Ikajo People used to and definitely still do! I’m actually fairly sure that one of my favorite plate lunch places traps almost of their chicken meat (definitely illegal but it tastes delicious lol). I think the population is just getting more out of control because they don’t have many natural predators there.
I live in Russian Urals. The Southern Urals to be more precise. It is very hot here in the summer, but not to the level of the Caucasian south. In the same time it is also very cold here in the winter, but not to the level of Siberia. In short term it is a good place to live your life and almost never think about outside world. And by outside I mean everything that happens outside of your plain. But this video made me think about fun part of our life. When I went to school in the early years,we had a male cat which my father took from his work. He was constantly walking the streets and we let him in and out, feeding and treating him along the way when someone tried to bite his throat. And a couple of months later, all cats in the whole city had the color of his fur. At first they were small, but there were a lot of them. The further it went, the fewer they became. In the end, our cat disappeared, he went out one day and did not return. After a couple of years, all the cats with his color disappeared. And soon all cats disappeared from the streets, they were replaced by dogs. It was assumed that they would take over the city, but in recent years their population has also decreased. But there is something interesting in all of this. No matter how many years have passed, I have not seen a single cat or dog running around plains. The weather and the almost complete lack of food and water locked them in the cities. It's funny how one of the quietest places on earth can become a prison for entire species that are destined to take over the world thanks to mankind.( By the way, sorry for my bad english. I tryed my best while writing this)
"Dogs are invasive" I literally can't walk outside without worrying about a pack of dogs ready to plunge me. I think it's funny that I stopped being scared of ghosts as a kid when I realize there's a real, worse threat that can actually hurt and infect me.
@@lordearthbloodOh sure. Yet, I am reminded of the Emu War. If you're unfamiliar, it was when the Australian government wanted to control the population of emus, which are large, flight-less birds, since their huge flocks were highly destructive to farmers. So they tasked the military with it... who, hilariously and embarrassingly, failed. What _did_ fix the problem? Bounties. They simply offered a bounty for every emu (or its head) delivered to officials. And in fairly short order, hunters were able to thin out the population sufficiently - even though they were indeed surprisingly hard to get, as the military had learned.
You forgot one of the most dangerous species: Giant African snail (Achatina). They are huge, very very fertile, and eat huge amounts of everything. They can destroy a crop field over night. Some 10 years ago, a grandmother and her grandson released 3 of them in their garden in Florida, and nowadays the state of Florida has to spend a million dollars each year to keep them in check. They have taken over the Caribbean, India and many other countries with a warm climate.
I think the fact that aquatic creatures that are capable of growing throughout their entire life is facinating. It gives the stories of rare massive individuals the possibility of existing. Where people stop growing around age 20ish. Salt water Crocodile's, catfish, freshwater stingrays, sturgeon, anacondas are all capable of growing to immense sizes throughout their entire life. Making us humans seem pretty small.
@@Mrmillan351 Then we would become giants! But unfortunately the size growth of animals is more limited on land due to gravity. If humans grew as big as, say, a blue whale, their legs would not be able to hold them upright anymore. The world's tallest man had a genetic disease that caused him to not stop growing and he had to walk with stilts. In the sea, when you grow, as you get bigger you also get more and more water around your body that supports your weight.
Wild goats can be easily kept in check as long as you allow people to hunt them. Goats taste good and are popular in many indian and middle eastern foods.
dealing with Hawaii chickens seems the easiest, just declare a wild hunt every few months, people with air guns can hunt them for meat, chicken will either go extinct, or they will adapt in a way and stay away from humans and cities, either case is a win-win scenario :)
I am a single father of two kids I really look forward to your both of you RUclips channels that I know of anyway. The regular watsapp and the free session very cool man thank you very much you rock my brother
I live near the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, and when it was more polluted, years ago, big schools of goldfish were plentiful but they have become rare in recent years.
God, I remember back in 2020 when a herd of "wild" horses were evaluated by the Bureau of land management and they discovered there were far too many. The Bureau was very worried about the health of the land, over grazing, other native wildlife, and lastly the spread of diseases. Their goal was to ethically cull the herd to respectable number. But the people with no understanding got involved. They screamed, puffed, and demanded the "wild" horses be left alone. Sightings sources that had no claim or even research to back up their dumbfounded reasoning. Because of this, the Bureau could do nothing. Literally a year later, the herd was found with a very fatal disease and it was spreading fast. It risked everything in the area, livestock, domestic horses, and wildlife. Instead of being ethically culled, they now were dieing in droves. Painfully with no relief in site. Some starved, others wandered away and collapsed. To save the ecosystem, the horses had to be shot instead of the original plan of tranquillizer and euthanasia. So much for "saving the horses".🙄 Maybe the people who Work With Wildlife and are Trained to do so know a little something.
I live in Romania, and the dictators of EU puts us in prison if we hunt boars. Agriculture has become impossible in some areas, we're overwhelmed. Also, bears can't be hunted, they've bred so much that they reached some villages and cities and people live in fear.
There’s a wild horse round up in the Owyhee mountains in Idaho every year. Then they’re put up for sale and people show up in droves to adopt those horses. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Yes I have. In fact dogs squeaky toys mimic the sound of a dying small animal. Even a child giggling can illicit an attack from a canine. Which is why child are usually the victims of fatal dog attacks. How horrible is it that a child laughing or giggling can trigger a dog to violently attack? They don’t belong in society
@@vasectomyfail442Dogs with behaviour problems are 99 out of 100 learned by their owners. It's nonsence to only blame dogs for their bad behaviour. Also it would seem logical to look out for your child and not put them in the position where a dog could hurt them. A good example is letting small children walk a dog that has more weight than the child without supervision. Or letting them play in the park unsupervised when they do not have any capability to defend themselves.
I will assure you that here in Florida where I live we have more problems with Coyotes than anything else. Between them and me we have the feral cats under control. I hate goats, they are nasty and will tear up Hell and half of Georgia. My wife brought 4 of them from a auction. I built pens that were 6 foot high. I placed electric fence all around it top and bottom. But that didn't stop them. They used their horns to lift the bottom wire and quickly scooted under it. But one day I went outside and there were 4 goats on top of my NEW Chevrolet 1500 Eldorado. I was pissed. So over the next 2 weeks I invited the local coyotes and wild dogs and 2 wolfs to dinner. I was not going to watch my new pickup be destroyed by those goats. I had to have the hood repainted and only had 892 miles on it.
When I was a kid my dad would bring me fishing. There's a lake in Louisiana called False River in New Roads. We pulled up and I ran to start fishing. When I got to the side of the pier and looked down, there was the largest gold fish I had ever saw!!! When I told my dad about what I had just saw, he said that I needed to quit lying. Years passed by and I asked my dad why he didn't belive me? He said son come on now. You told me that this gold fish was about 15 to 20 pounds. He said that he had never heard of a gold fish getting that big before. Then he asked me if I was telling the truth? I said what do you think? I spent all day in that same spot trying to catch that fish. Now I know what kind of gold fish it was.... It was a very large Koi and was 2 colors. It was orange and white...... I never saw the fish again after the first time I spotted it. But I wished so hard that I could catch it, just to show my dad that I was telling the truth.
I used to have either a painted turtle or s red eared slider, but he got so big he would splash everywhere and my parents suspected he gave my brother salmonella poisoning. They made me release it. Almost 20 years later I found a baby painted or red slider turtle in my shoe, and I released it in the same pond.
Cull hunts are what's needed in the short term. Control measures like poisoning and transplanting will do very little to reduce population numbers in most cases. Also, many of these animals are edible, so they would make great food sources. Nature will always try to balance out, but when people mess around with natural balances, that's where WE have really messed things up. When the predator prey balance is on a tilt, no matter where in the world that is, that's when things go bad.
We are in fact the worst invasive species of all. We eat everything, we destroy habitats, we pollute lands, oceans, air, and the space, and we change weather.
Liked how the narrator did this with a sense of humor. Thanks. And eye-opening. Dogs? Cats? That was a surprise. Here in (Northern) California we have the issue of coyotes and someone let loose a wolf in the Tahoe basin. We have the coyotes and wolves inter-breeding which makes for a dangerous predator. Now we're starting to notice that all the small critters are disappearing, like raccoons, small squirrels, rabbits, ground squirrels, ferrets, etc.
You're noticing that because of the jump in cats after covid, more people got a covid pet therefore more were dumped when their owners got lazy and bored, some still intact of course. Coyotes are already intelligent, adding a wolf into the mix only leads to more pack-like behavior, because of this and the fact they tend to be larger they don't normally waste energy hunting the small mammals you mentioned. Another thing, squirrels are overpopulated because they're able to seek safety near human residences. They eat bird eggs when they can find them as well as every other small predator/omnivore so that further impacts bird and reptile decline. Something else people should know that I'm surprised this video didn't mention is that in the UK cats are interbreeding with the last endangered wild cat they have, there's very few left that have pure blood. Humans have killed off most natural predators in the UK and have no plans on bringing them back, so this wild cat needs to be saved. If people think outdoor cats are still a good idea they should know that cats actually furthered the spread of the plague, despite many thinking they aided it. Cats don't hunt rats much, they're mousers, so they helped disperse the fleas that were on rats. Because of outdoor cats my entire neighborhood suffers from flea infestations during warm months in their yards and ditches. I love cats and hate that the problem has gotten this big but no one's doing anything that actually works in the UK and US. No new enforced laws and no one's picking them from the streets. They just dump them in the country and call it a barn cat program which only succeeds in the spread of toxoplasmosis, and allows cats to hunt more animals. There are so many better options for a rodent problem that don't cause an environmental disaster. Lastly a rainbow collar is nice but it won't stop all attacks and certainly won't help prevent attacks on amphibians, and like with bells the cats will learn to work around it. People just need to have laws enforced on them, that will keep unfit people from mistreating and dumping cats because they won't be able to get one. Right now if someone has tried their best to rehab a cat and did all their research to make their home comfortable for it *then* I would try the rainbow collar, and only then. Before that they need to learn how to leash train, engage with their cat more, make sure their house has a heated blanket or area for the cat as most people keep their homes too cold for a cat's liking. Anyone that can't or won't do this should not have a cat plain and simple. They aren't lazy man's pets, people just normalized neglecting them. I hope this information was helpful for would be cat owners.
I had a goldfish as a kid named Redfin. But he couldn’t have other fish in his tank bc he would Eat them. I always thought that they weren’t cannibals. But nope. He was a killer lol. But he was cool. Lives a long time
That "goldfish" is a carp mixed with koi. Its not a goldfish, this was confirmed but I guess you were time crunched on research. But idk you seem to do a lot on the goldfish lol cool video though man, never fail to entertain and inform and teach something new to someone somewhere.
I'm pretty sure that goldfish are carp. But I know what you are saying. It's body structure looked just like the "grass carp" that we have around here.
@@letsdothis9063 no the specified fish in the video was confirmed a carp breed with a koi. The person that did is some big time fishing enthusiasts. It made it to world news at some point bc ppl couldn't believe it was a real gold fish. After doing the story and finding the owner of the carp, he confirmed it for everyone. Cypriniformes s what you are referring to. Yes technically they are a type of carp. But in this case it was never a goldfish or mixed with one.
My dad bought two of the bug-eyed gold fish. One gold, one black, and 2 large snails. He put them in a tank, gave the plenty of food, but one day not long after he got them...he came downstairs to find that only the black goldfish remained. In about 12 hrs, it ate the other fish and both snails. Dad put him in the garbage disposal. 🤷♀️
They have a really bad problem with rabbits, cats, and toads as well. I'm an animal lover, but there are people that make a living culling these animals. I would definitely do it to protect native species.
Golden fish in the wild: eats everything, don’t care about water temperature, grows into sigma fish Golden fish in my aquarium: dies of prescripted food, half degree water temperature change, other harmless causes 😅
Yeah, there are a lot of feral dogs and turtles. There are so many restaurants in New York and New Jersey where you can eat dog soup, jerked meat, and turtle soup, and a bunch of little pop-up spots that are serving weird food items that it's crazy. I know a lot more side restaurants that only popped up after the pandemic. There are also exotic animals on the menu; so many foreigners like that. There are also weird celebrities, musicians, and stockbrokers that go there too, who take the risk just to be part of rituals to prove their status.
🤨 0:16 But that's not a goldfish. It's a koi. You can tell by its barbels. Goldfish don't have them ever. Also it looks like it's a hybrid between a Koi and a leather carp. It's not uncommon for them to hybridize and you can even buy them for your pond. The size is very normal for a fish like that.
My mom always mentions how mean wild boars are, her dad used to go on hunting trips and on some of these her and her sisters were brought along. So definitely had a few close encounters with wild boars, saying they could even charge right at you for no real reason.
Yep, and they can be dangerous. I don't know if there's any stories of wild boars actually (directly) killing people, but they can injure you quite a bit, and they can carry a plethora of diseases. Trouble is that they are also very strong and tough, so quite capable of inflicting harm, and can be hard to get a proper killing shot on. And as you say, if given even the slightest cause to take offense, they are likely to attack.
Cats are underplayed in this imo. Cats are one of few animals that kills for the heck of it, they don't catch something eat it and are done for the day. They'll keep hunting and strike anything that moves and is small enough. Great for their original purpose of being a pest control, not great when they run rampant in environments they weren't meant to be in. Dogs are a lot more docile when it comes to that, they'll hunt eat and then probably spend the rest of the time sleeping or lazing around. They more or less fulfil the role of wolves or other fairly large predators. Cats on the other hand are just straight up killing machines that kill far more than they need.
@@DissidentPrick do you like snakes? cats kill snakes for food and for fun. there is a small desert cat that kills sidewinders. snake is totally helpless against cat.
I believe that the przewalski horse could have interbred with domestic horses, in the 1950's their numbers were as low as 15 leaving a genetic bottleneck. They could've also interbred with domestic horses over thousands of years, so I don't consider them to be feral, but truly wild. They're in cave paintings!
The sad part is that a good majority of invasive species are neither edible nor good for sport hunting. Usually that's the first two methods to go for with invasive species. But nowadays it's tough to figure out how to fix without getting your ear chewed out by conservationists and what have you (and God knows it's barbaric to eat a dog in most cultures)
That title sounds like a good video topic: powerful domesticated animals, some dog breeds are incredible what they are capable of. Bovines, fish, you could even talk about tribes of people with unique living conditions and cultures that gives their breeding particular advantages
I lived in Hackney, East London around 15 - 20 years ago. Victoria park is just a short walk away from where we lived, so we would visit the park every few days for a stroll. Anyway my point of the story was to let you know that even back then there were red eared terrapins (sliders) living in the pond of victoria park in east london and as far as i know they are still there today!
I can understand the dogs, cats, rats, pigeons.... but pig, chickens, and goats??? THOSE GOOD EAT'N! Have you see the cost of meat? A couple of bullets could fill your freezer. The biggest issue here is lazy humans who can't be bothered to slaughter their own food.
I live in Chicago, and we have a river, it's polluted for miles, all year around it's got big old goldfish and nasty carps, brother that's the lease of our problems.🤕
When I was a kid I managed to keep a pet goldfish alive for about a year in just a simple goldfish bowl. I would change the water every day, watch that I didn’t overfeed, and even talk to him. Then I went on a class trip for a week and my brother promised to take care of him. He didn’t. When I got home there was a new fish in my bowl. Lol. Still can’t believe my brother tried that. This one didn’t last as long. He got some sort of scale disease and died. But I actually morned my first goldfish. Lol.
I love Tegus and have had a few different kinds. They were all very sweet and acted about the same as a cat or dog. And are too expensive to just let go.
Kinda funny about the Hawaiian Chickens... Being how some old family friends of our family from Hawaii, told my family back here on the mainland of the USA, that the reason why their fore-fathers released so many chickens into their areas, was because the chickens were the only real things that would actively hunt & keep the (poisonous) 'Hawaiian Centipede' species not only off of their properties, but also out of their homes (and away from their families) lolol!!!
As a birdwatcher, I appreciate your segment here on cats and the urge to keep them indoors. More than a few times I've had wild birds that were clearly attacked by cats dropped on me, and almost none of them survive. I rescue roosters, and to a lot of people that means that I deal with ALL birds.
I keep my cats indoors, but there are some who think it is cruel. At least I never have to wonder whether they will come home or not. I did try to take one of them out on a leash and she hated it. Everytime she was absolutely terrified and has no interest in going outside.
Some cats like being outdoors some prefer being indoors... Same thing with dogs... they all got their own needs n personalities.. Some people gotta go out to work and don't wanna come home to a mess... Lotta cats stay out all day around here... I think the best thing you can do is attach a bell to their collar to give other animals a bit of a warning for when they're around...
I realize I am QUITE late to this party, but it's still worth talking about. Wolves, bears and big cats might like the taste of pork ... but wild boars are just fine with the taste of wolves, bears, and cats, too. Both sides know it, and frankly, wolves, bears and cats a) don't want to have to fight any harder for their dinner than necessary, and b) don't like being sized up as a main course. Worse, what a lot of areas are dealing with aren't wild boars, which typically top out at 150-250 lbs and are most dangerous encountered in large sounders. What they're getting mauled by are either feral domestic pigs, up to 350 lbs, or worse yet, boar/feral hybrids, which can be expected to regularly hit 1/4-ton and up, know no fear of anything, can consume any organic matter including bone, and are aggressive, hostile, and ferocious hunters in their own right. Honestly, the main reason for the various prohibitions on the consumption of pork is the understanding that if one hasn't monitored every bite the animal has consumed, one really doesn't know just what went into that delicious ham. This was a feature when the animal was originally domesticated ... it could turn pretty much anything into a viable food product. Today, it's something of a bug, especially anywhere REMARKABLY STUPID PEOPLE accidentally or deliberately released the things into the wild.
When I was teen, recall upstate of Georgia had a feral dog problem. Cannot recall if something was done or what. Feral cats were treated same as coyotes: shot on sight at time of my teens since quail and Turkey were being encouraged.
@@Flemdragon they don’t have to be bad (feel free to show me an example of a beneficial invasive species), from their first man influenced appearances in a foreign ecosystem they should be eradicated, hence the with prejudice
@@iivin4233 I didn’t miss the point, but the reality is most invasive or, as a better term feral, became so due to negligence or poor judgement on people’s part, but i agree with the food part, feral pig makes a good roast and decent bacon 👌
22:30 See wild horses in Livno, Bosnia and Herzegovina. These were domestic horses, turned wild, after they were left in nature after the war, in 1990.
The Burmese pythons became a huge problem in 1992 when HURRICANE ANDREW hit Homestead FL. This is where I lived until Andrew blew our house away and the only thing left of our house was the concrete slab. My dad begged my mom to let me go with him to try and find whatever we could that made it through the hurricane. It looked like a bomb hit the city. There wasn't anything standing when we got to our neighborhood. Trees were all gone and the ones that didn't fall, they were stripped clean.
Fun Fact: If farm pigs escape they will go through a metamorphosis, gain a bunch of hair and start to grow tusks. Thats right, if a domestic oif escapes they will become a wild boar.
First time i hear of that, surely interesting, i can say wild boars can easily overwhelm animal habitats as they are strong predators, stay in places that are hard to access (thick forest bushes, thorny plant areas) deep in the forest. In my country for example their population has grown rapidly to the point there have been times that they go into villages or towns and make a mess for food, even places like the beach, if left unchecked their population can get troublesome, they also eat stuff like seeds and fruits so the populations near farm areas have a lot of food to be populating. Wild boars can also get really big, i have seen up to 140kg, if that thing runs in a straight line you better not be in front of it.
No. They grow tusks no matter what. I have and run an animal rescue in Cali for farm animals mostly pigs and ducks. Once the hog hits 4yesrs the tusks become noticeable. All hogs get tusks no matter wild or domestic
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main river that runs through the city is called the Jordan River and it has many red ear sliders. There's also been reports of crocodiles. The turtles can survive in cold water and even frozen streams. How the crocs continue to survive is beyond my knowledge.
There's also plenty of turtles in the provo River I have caught 5 of them big suckered too. I also caught a big goldfish in there and a northern pike all illegally introduced
When I was a kid, we moved into country home that came with a 6lb cat. She was old, tiny but are more meat/lb than our entire family ! Squirrels, rabbits, birds, mice, rats, large bugs. She was a hunting machine and one she got to know us, she would bring prey back to share with us ! But she would occasionally catch, kill and eat a rabbit the same size as her !! R.I.P. Abe ! 🐈❤
Well, Yes! I have trained a few of my sled dogs to hint cats down. They are very, very good at it. No suffering, they kill them instantly. Edit typo: hunt cats..
We had a male cat when I was a boy, bright orange!!! Huuuuuuge Tom cat!!! Had 2 bells on his collar and a metal tag........ This bad boy used to bring in animals every single night!!!! I always marveled at how I could hear that cat coming down the street, a couple houses away....... yet a rabbit that hears and sees me from 30ft foot away gets bagged in the dead of night.......
Am I crazy or have you already done a video like this before? It's always good to update stuff like this, but I'm more curious if I'm crazy and suffering a weird Deja Vu or not, lol
It's strange how many people can acknowledge that we're animals but can't acknowledge that our actions are just as natural as the actions of any other animal. Animals evolving to capitalize on our natural urge to build, utilize and move is as natural as them evolving to capitalize on the migration of whales or the movements of the wind.
Two words I've never considered going together, 'feral turtle.'

I live in Hawaii and can confirm that the chickens are freaking everywhere. EVERYWHERE!
Still way more preferable than the boars, though.
Agreed, I encountered a boar hiking Makiki trail.
do you hunt them for food? give them bread crumbles soaked in whiskey. they get drunk very fast and then are easy to catch. i wonder if this may work for wild boars too. you bring a bottle to a boar, you drink it together, and you declare each other the best friend forever.... but then can you, drunk or sober, kill your best friend, even if he or she is a wild boar?

The rabbits now numbers in the millions
Asian Carp here in the states was in private ponds until flooding along the Mississippi River released them into the waterways where they threaten the Great Lakes.

This issue of domestic animals becoming invasive species is eye-opening, disturbing. This video is well put together and very informative.
Could not agree more. That portion of the video blew my mind 🤯
I live in Russian Urals. The Southern Urals to be more precise. It is very hot here in the summer, but not to the level of the Caucasian south. In the same time it is also very cold here in the winter, but not to the level of Siberia. In short term it is a good place to live your life and almost never think about outside world. And by outside I mean everything that happens outside of your plain. But this video made me think about fun part of our life. When I went to school in the early years,we had a male cat which my father took from his work. He was constantly walking the streets and we let him in and out, feeding and treating him along the way when someone tried to bite his throat. And a couple of months later, all cats in the whole city had the color of his fur. At first they were small, but there were a lot of them. The further it went, the fewer they became. In the end, our cat disappeared, he went out one day and did not return. After a couple of years, all the cats with his color disappeared. And soon all cats disappeared from the streets, they were replaced by dogs. It was assumed that they would take over the city, but in recent years their population has also decreased. But there is something interesting in all of this. No matter how many years have passed, I have not seen a single cat or dog running around plains. The weather and the almost complete lack of food and water locked them in the cities. It's funny how one of the quietest places on earth can become a prison for entire species that are destined to take over the world thanks to mankind.( By the way, sorry for my bad english. I tryed my best while writing this)

Cats are unbelievable predators. Small species in places that did not have them get hunted down when they are introduced.
"Dogs are invasive"
I literally can't walk outside without worrying about a pack of dogs ready to plunge me. I think it's funny that I stopped being scared of ghosts as a kid when I realize there's a real, worse threat that can actually hurt and infect me.
But they are. Dogs don’t naturally live in Australia.
@@SrGonzalezI wasnt being sarcastic. I had dog invasions in my hometown since the 2010s
Great Topic! A little scary but really useful to open eyes, even about feral chickens.
Chickens can be viscous creatures. If you've ever seen a pecking party, you'd agree.
They're tiny t-rexes.
👏👏
We had a town over run by them, here in New Zealand.
@@matthewboyd3653 Tell us more!
The solution sounds like a increase of hunting. Most animals on this list are a excellent food source.
Also dog food.
To people from the Philippines, all these animals are excellent sources of food.
the problem is that many are also disease and parasite carriers
Believe me, easier said than done.
@@lordearthbloodOh sure. Yet, I am reminded of the Emu War. If you're unfamiliar, it was when the Australian government wanted to control the population of emus, which are large, flight-less birds, since their huge flocks were highly destructive to farmers. So they tasked the military with it... who, hilariously and embarrassingly, failed. What _did_ fix the problem? Bounties. They simply offered a bounty for every emu (or its head) delivered to officials. And in fairly short order, hunters were able to thin out the population sufficiently - even though they were indeed surprisingly hard to get, as the military had learned.
You forgot one of the most dangerous species: Giant African snail (Achatina). They are huge, very very fertile, and eat huge amounts of everything. They can destroy a crop field over night.
Some 10 years ago, a grandmother and her grandson released 3 of them in their garden in Florida, and nowadays the state of Florida has to spend a million dollars each year to keep them in check.
They have taken over the Caribbean, India and many other countries with a warm climate.
I think the fact that aquatic creatures that are capable of growing throughout their entire life is facinating. It gives the stories of rare massive individuals the possibility of existing. Where people stop growing around age 20ish. Salt water Crocodile's, catfish, freshwater stingrays, sturgeon, anacondas are all capable of growing to immense sizes throughout their entire life. Making us humans seem pretty small.
Imagine if humans never stopped growing threw out their lives
I don't mind being small as long as nothing finds me to be edible.
@@Mrmillan351 Then we would become giants!
But unfortunately the size growth of animals is more limited on land due to gravity. If humans grew as big as, say, a blue whale, their legs would not be able to hold them upright anymore. The world's tallest man had a genetic disease that caused him to not stop growing and he had to walk with stilts.
In the sea, when you grow, as you get bigger you also get more and more water around your body that supports your weight.
Defying human nature, governments never stop growing. We must find a way to combat that invasive species.
so using the same logic for sure there are sharks that wouldve grown way larger than what we know and have probably just stayd out of our way
Wild goats can be easily kept in check as long as you allow people to hunt them. Goats taste good and are popular in many indian and middle eastern foods.
dealing with Hawaii chickens seems the easiest, just declare a wild hunt every few months, people with air guns can hunt them for meat, chicken will either go extinct, or they will adapt in a way and stay away from humans and cities, either case is a win-win scenario :)

I live near the Cuyahoga River in Ohio, and when it was more polluted, years ago, big schools of goldfish were plentiful but they have become rare in recent years.
God, I remember back in 2020 when a herd of "wild" horses were evaluated by the Bureau of land management and they discovered there were far too many. The Bureau was very worried about the health of the land, over grazing, other native wildlife, and lastly the spread of diseases. Their goal was to ethically cull the herd to respectable number. But the people with no understanding got involved. They screamed, puffed, and demanded the "wild" horses be left alone. Sightings sources that had no claim or even research to back up their dumbfounded reasoning. Because of this, the Bureau could do nothing. Literally a year later, the herd was found with a very fatal disease and it was spreading fast. It risked everything in the area, livestock, domestic horses, and wildlife. Instead of being ethically culled, they now were dieing in droves. Painfully with no relief in site. Some starved, others wandered away and collapsed. To save the ecosystem, the horses had to be shot instead of the original plan of tranquillizer and euthanasia. So much for "saving the horses".🙄 Maybe the people who Work With Wildlife and are Trained to do so know a little something.
I live in Romania, and the dictators of EU puts us in prison if we hunt boars. Agriculture has become impossible in some areas, we're overwhelmed. Also, bears can't be hunted, they've bred so much that they reached some villages and cities and people live in fear.
Q
There’s a wild horse round up in the Owyhee mountains in Idaho every year. Then they’re put up for sale and people show up in droves to adopt those horses. 👍🏻🇺🇸
Odd most of the time people Interfere and screw everything up.
That's liberals for you.
A stray cat I feed, caught a rabbit 🐇 almost the same size as it .. have you ever heard a rabbit scream?
Yes I have. In fact dogs squeaky toys mimic the sound of a dying small animal. Even a child giggling can illicit an attack from a canine. Which is why child are usually the victims of fatal dog attacks. How horrible is it that a child laughing or giggling can trigger a dog to violently attack? They don’t belong in society
@@vasectomyfail442 i agree, we should ban kids
Don’t feed stray animals
omg such bullshit was spoken
@@vasectomyfail442Dogs with behaviour problems are 99 out of 100 learned by their owners. It's nonsence to only blame dogs for their bad behaviour. Also it would seem logical to look out for your child and not put them in the position where a dog could hurt them. A good example is letting small children walk a dog that has more weight than the child without supervision. Or letting them play in the park unsupervised when they do not have any capability to defend themselves.
I will assure you that here in Florida where I live we have more problems with Coyotes than anything else. Between them and me we have the feral cats under control.
I hate goats, they are nasty and will tear up Hell and half of Georgia. My wife brought 4 of them from a auction. I built pens that were 6 foot high. I placed electric fence all around it top and bottom. But that didn't stop them. They used their horns to lift the bottom wire and quickly scooted under it. But one day I went outside and there were 4 goats on top of my NEW Chevrolet 1500 Eldorado. I was pissed. So over the next 2 weeks I invited the local coyotes and wild dogs and 2 wolfs to dinner.
I was not going to watch my new pickup be destroyed by those goats. I had to have the hood repainted and only had 892 miles on it.
Moral of the story: A man's car is not to be messed with... he will feed to the hounds, lol 😂
When I was a kid my dad would bring me fishing. There's a lake in Louisiana called False River in New Roads. We pulled up and I ran to start fishing. When I got to the side of the pier and looked down, there was the largest gold fish I had ever saw!!! When I told my dad about what I had just saw, he said that I needed to quit lying.
Years passed by and I asked my dad why he didn't belive me? He said son come on now. You told me that this gold fish was about 15 to 20 pounds. He said that he had never heard of a gold fish getting that big before. Then he asked me if I was telling the truth?
I said what do you think? I spent all day in that same spot trying to catch that fish. Now I know what kind of gold fish it was.... It was a very large Koi and was 2 colors. It was orange and white...... I never saw the fish again after the first time I spotted it. But I wished so hard that I could catch it, just to show my dad that I was telling the truth.
I used to have either a painted turtle or s red eared slider, but he got so big he would splash everywhere and my parents suspected he gave my brother salmonella poisoning. They made me release it. Almost 20 years later I found a baby painted or red slider turtle in my shoe, and I released it in the same pond.
That was super irresponsible of them, they should have rehomed the turtle

Cull hunts are what's needed in the short term. Control measures like poisoning and transplanting will do very little to reduce population numbers in most cases. Also, many of these animals are edible, so they would make great food sources. Nature will always try to balance out, but when people mess around with natural balances, that's where WE have really messed things up. When the predator prey balance is on a tilt, no matter where in the world that is, that's when things go bad.
cull humans?
We are technically Invasive species, we are everywhere
not technically. we are.
Yup, and we brought other invaders with us.
We are in fact the worst invasive species of all. We eat everything, we destroy habitats, we pollute lands, oceans, air, and the space, and we change weather.
Muslims
You are very smart and I applaud you for speaking the truth
Liked how the narrator did this with a sense of humor. Thanks. And eye-opening.
Dogs? Cats? That was a surprise.
Here in (Northern) California we have the issue of coyotes and someone let loose a wolf in the Tahoe basin. We have the coyotes and wolves inter-breeding which makes for a dangerous predator. Now we're starting to notice that all the small critters are disappearing, like raccoons, small squirrels, rabbits, ground squirrels, ferrets, etc.
You're noticing that because of the jump in cats after covid, more people got a covid pet therefore more were dumped when their owners got lazy and bored, some still intact of course. Coyotes are already intelligent, adding a wolf into the mix only leads to more pack-like behavior, because of this and the fact they tend to be larger they don't normally waste energy hunting the small mammals you mentioned. Another thing, squirrels are overpopulated because they're able to seek safety near human residences. They eat bird eggs when they can find them as well as every other small predator/omnivore so that further impacts bird and reptile decline.
Something else people should know that I'm surprised this video didn't mention is that in the UK cats are interbreeding with the last endangered wild cat they have, there's very few left that have pure blood. Humans have killed off most natural predators in the UK and have no plans on bringing them back, so this wild cat needs to be saved. If people think outdoor cats are still a good idea they should know that cats actually furthered the spread of the plague, despite many thinking they aided it. Cats don't hunt rats much, they're mousers, so they helped disperse the fleas that were on rats. Because of outdoor cats my entire neighborhood suffers from flea infestations during warm months in their yards and ditches. I love cats and hate that the problem has gotten this big but no one's doing anything that actually works in the UK and US. No new enforced laws and no one's picking them from the streets. They just dump them in the country and call it a barn cat program which only succeeds in the spread of toxoplasmosis, and allows cats to hunt more animals. There are so many better options for a rodent problem that don't cause an environmental disaster.
Lastly a rainbow collar is nice but it won't stop all attacks and certainly won't help prevent attacks on amphibians, and like with bells the cats will learn to work around it. People just need to have laws enforced on them, that will keep unfit people from mistreating and dumping cats because they won't be able to get one. Right now if someone has tried their best to rehab a cat and did all their research to make their home comfortable for it *then* I would try the rainbow collar, and only then. Before that they need to learn how to leash train, engage with their cat more, make sure their house has a heated blanket or area for the cat as most people keep their homes too cold for a cat's liking. Anyone that can't or won't do this should not have a cat plain and simple. They aren't lazy man's pets, people just normalized neglecting them.
I hope this information was helpful for would be cat owners.
I had a goldfish as a kid named Redfin. But he couldn’t have other fish in his tank bc he would Eat them. I always thought that they weren’t cannibals. But nope. He was a killer lol. But he was cool. Lives a long time
He still alive ?
He WAS cool.
That "goldfish" is a carp mixed with koi. Its not a goldfish, this was confirmed but I guess you were time crunched on research. But idk you seem to do a lot on the goldfish lol cool video though man, never fail to entertain and inform and teach something new to someone somewhere.
I'm pretty sure that goldfish are carp. But I know what you are saying. It's body structure looked just like the "grass carp" that we have around here.
@@letsdothis9063 no the specified fish in the video was confirmed a carp breed with a koi. The person that did is some big time fishing enthusiasts. It made it to world news at some point bc ppl couldn't believe it was a real gold fish. After doing the story and finding the owner of the carp, he confirmed it for everyone. Cypriniformes s what you are referring to. Yes technically they are a type of carp. But in this case it was never a goldfish or mixed with one.
My dad bought two of the bug-eyed gold fish. One gold, one black, and 2 large snails. He put them in a tank, gave the plenty of food, but one day not long after he got them...he came downstairs to find that only the black goldfish remained. In about 12 hrs, it ate the other fish and both snails.
Dad put him in the garbage disposal. 🤷♀️
Funeral music plz🎶🎶🎶
Sketchy story...
Goldfish are actually very voracious. They will eat snails and they will eat other fish. We put some in a tank with snails and they wiped them out.
your dad didn’t do research on a pet then ended up killing it for doing something fish do? cool story
😂
Sounds like the feral goats in Australia could be used for food.
They have a really bad problem with rabbits, cats, and toads as well. I'm an animal lover, but there are people that make a living culling these animals. I would definitely do it to protect native species.
Golden fish in the wild: eats everything, don’t care about water temperature, grows into sigma fish
Golden fish in my aquarium: dies of prescripted food, half degree water temperature change, other harmless causes 😅
Yeah, there are a lot of feral dogs and turtles. There are so many restaurants in New York and New Jersey where you can eat dog soup, jerked meat, and turtle soup, and a bunch of little pop-up spots that are serving weird food items that it's crazy. I know a lot more side restaurants that only popped up after the pandemic. There are also exotic animals on the menu; so many foreigners like that. There are also weird celebrities, musicians, and stockbrokers that go there too, who take the risk just to be part of rituals to prove their status.
I LEARNED A LOT FROM THIS
🤨 0:16 But that's not a goldfish. It's a koi. You can tell by its barbels. Goldfish don't have them ever. Also it looks like it's a hybrid between a Koi and a leather carp. It's not uncommon for them to hybridize and you can even buy them for your pond. The size is very normal for a fish like that.
Isn't the record size goldfish a koi because of it's mouth? Goldfish don't have those little whiskers near their mouth but koi do.
It is somewhat similar to koi because that is a species of a carp
That's what I was thinking!
No btc#
A very fat koi
I'm pretty sure that's because a goldfish is a type of carp. Which are related to koi.
My mom always mentions how mean wild boars are, her dad used to go on hunting trips and on some of these her and her sisters were brought along. So definitely had a few close encounters with wild boars, saying they could even charge right at you for no real reason.
Yep, and they can be dangerous. I don't know if there's any stories of wild boars actually (directly) killing people, but they can injure you quite a bit, and they can carry a plethora of diseases. Trouble is that they are also very strong and tough, so quite capable of inflicting harm, and can be hard to get a proper killing shot on. And as you say, if given even the slightest cause to take offense, they are likely to attack.
Great job poster on video and no panhandling.
Cats are underplayed in this imo. Cats are one of few animals that kills for the heck of it, they don't catch something eat it and are done for the day. They'll keep hunting and strike anything that moves and is small enough. Great for their original purpose of being a pest control, not great when they run rampant in environments they weren't meant to be in.
Dogs are a lot more docile when it comes to that, they'll hunt eat and then probably spend the rest of the time sleeping or lazing around. They more or less fulfil the role of wolves or other fairly large predators. Cats on the other hand are just straight up killing machines that kill far more than they need.
they also take on snakes, and on aligators! there was a clip how a cat slapped an alligator on the snout and he ran away in the water....
I hate cats
@@DissidentPrick Better than dogs.

I believe that the przewalski horse could have interbred with domestic horses, in the 1950's their numbers were as low as 15 leaving a genetic bottleneck. They could've also interbred with domestic horses over thousands of years, so I don't consider them to be feral, but truly wild. They're in cave paintings!
The feral horses exist, it's called zebra
The sad part is that a good majority of invasive species are neither edible nor good for sport hunting. Usually that's the first two methods to go for with invasive species. But nowadays it's tough to figure out how to fix without getting your ear chewed out by conservationists and what have you (and God knows it's barbaric to eat a dog in most cultures)
That title sounds like a good video topic: powerful domesticated animals, some dog breeds are incredible what they are capable of. Bovines, fish, you could even talk about tribes of people with unique living conditions and cultures that gives their breeding particular advantages
In Hawaii cats are responsible for a huge amount of native birds going extinct. I forget the number but it was quite a shocking amount.

They should be banned as pets
Even if they should be banned as pets in the European Union, Red Eared Sliders can still be kept as zoo animals though.
When I was a kid I managed to keep a pet goldfish alive for about a year in just a simple goldfish bowl. I would change the water every day, watch that I didn’t overfeed, and even talk to him. Then I went on a class trip for a week and my brother promised to take care of him. He didn’t. When I got home there was a new fish in my bowl. Lol. Still can’t believe my brother tried that. This one didn’t last as long. He got some sort of scale disease and died. But I actually morned my first goldfish. Lol.
Chicken should never have been used as a synonym for coward. They are the most vicious creatures in the world by weight.
Bull Shit!! A fuckin cat would put the boots to that chicken
Coward as a word refers to old chickens who lose their senses of sanity. Not chickens in their prime.
I love Tegus and have had a few different kinds. They were all very sweet and acted about the same as a cat or dog. And are too expensive to just let go.
Kinda funny about the Hawaiian Chickens...
Being how some old family friends of our family from Hawaii, told my family back here on the mainland of the USA, that the reason why their fore-fathers released so many chickens into their areas, was because the chickens were the only real things that would actively hunt & keep the (poisonous) 'Hawaiian Centipede' species not only off of their properties, but also out of their homes (and away from their families) lolol!!!
yeahhh
Only one of the centipede species on Hawaii is mildly poisonous. The one from Vietnam.
Chickens are great for pest control, although not always great inside your house.
I love these vids
This isn't a goldfish, it's a carp. It has whiskers. Goldfish don't.
Amazing video
As a birdwatcher, I appreciate your segment here on cats and the urge to keep them indoors. More than a few times I've had wild birds that were clearly attacked by cats dropped on me, and almost none of them survive. I rescue roosters, and to a lot of people that means that I deal with ALL birds.
I keep my cats indoors, but there are some who think it is cruel. At least I never have to wonder whether they will come home or not. I did try to take one of them out on a leash and she hated it. Everytime she was absolutely terrified and has no interest in going outside.
Our cat loves going out the front but we don’t let her unless we are there to watch
Some cats like being outdoors some prefer being indoors...
Same thing with dogs... they all got their own needs n personalities..
Some people gotta go out to work and don't wanna come home to a mess...
Lotta cats stay out all day around here... I think the best thing you can do is attach a bell to their collar to give other animals a bit of a warning for when they're around...
Interesting facts and other stuff 😁
They should put out bounties. That's what hunting licenses are for.
The largest specimen in the picture was an ogon koi. It had barbels either side of its lips.
Goldfish are related to Koi but don't have this feature.
you know what would eat the feral hogs? Wolves. not to mention big cat's and bears.
I realize I am QUITE late to this party, but it's still worth talking about.
Wolves, bears and big cats might like the taste of pork ... but wild boars are just fine with the taste of wolves, bears, and cats, too. Both sides know it, and frankly, wolves, bears and cats a) don't want to have to fight any harder for their dinner than necessary, and b) don't like being sized up as a main course. Worse, what a lot of areas are dealing with aren't wild boars, which typically top out at 150-250 lbs and are most dangerous encountered in large sounders. What they're getting mauled by are either feral domestic pigs, up to 350 lbs, or worse yet, boar/feral hybrids, which can be expected to regularly hit 1/4-ton and up, know no fear of anything, can consume any organic matter including bone, and are aggressive, hostile, and ferocious hunters in their own right.
Honestly, the main reason for the various prohibitions on the consumption of pork is the understanding that if one hasn't monitored every bite the animal has consumed, one really doesn't know just what went into that delicious ham. This was a feature when the animal was originally domesticated ... it could turn pretty much anything into a viable food product. Today, it's something of a bug, especially anywhere REMARKABLY STUPID PEOPLE accidentally or deliberately released the things into the wild.
When I was teen, recall upstate of Georgia had a feral dog problem. Cannot recall if something was done or what.

These were domestic horses, turned wild, after they were left in nature after the war, in 1990.
The Burmese pythons became a huge problem in 1992 when HURRICANE ANDREW hit Homestead FL. This is where I lived until Andrew blew our house away and the only thing left of our house was the concrete slab. My dad begged my mom to let me go with him to try and find whatever we could that made it through the hurricane. It looked like a bomb hit the city. There wasn't anything standing when we got to our neighborhood. Trees were all gone and the ones that didn't fall, they were stripped clean.

Fun Fact: If farm pigs escape they will go through a metamorphosis, gain a bunch of hair and start to grow tusks.
Thats right, if a domestic oif escapes they will become a wild boar.
*pig
First time i hear of that, surely interesting, i can say wild boars can easily overwhelm animal habitats as they are strong predators, stay in places that are hard to access (thick forest bushes, thorny plant areas) deep in the forest. In my country for example their population has grown rapidly to the point there have been times that they go into villages or towns and make a mess for food, even places like the beach, if left unchecked their population can get troublesome, they also eat stuff like seeds and fruits so the populations near farm areas have a lot of food to be populating. Wild boars can also get really big, i have seen up to 140kg, if that thing runs in a straight line you better not be in front of it.
@@Exknight2 yeah they are a danger to ecosystems they shouldn’t be in, like domestic cats to birds
No. They grow tusks no matter what. I have and run an animal rescue in Cali for farm animals mostly pigs and ducks. Once the hog hits 4yesrs the tusks become noticeable. All hogs get tusks no matter wild or domestic
I live in Salt Lake City, Utah. The main river that runs through the city is called the Jordan River and it has many red ear sliders. There's also been reports of crocodiles. The turtles can survive in cold water and even frozen streams. How the crocs continue to survive is beyond my knowledge.
There's also plenty of turtles in the provo River I have caught 5 of them big suckered too. I also caught a big goldfish in there and a northern pike all illegally introduced

She was a hunting machine and one she got to know us, she would bring prey back to share with us ! But she would occasionally catch, kill and eat a rabbit the same size as her !! R.I.P. Abe ! 🐈❤

They are very, very good at it. No suffering, they kill them instantly.
