Here in Kentucky coyotes are the invasive species. They do love cats though; people in Lexington were missing cats and small dogs so found out they had a problem with them. They are known to lure pet dogs with a female in heat. Sometimes they mate with the dog other times they just eat it. The coy-dogs (crossbred) are also a problem as they act more like coyotes than dogs.
The cat thing is such a concern. Folk that let their cats out unsupervised, especially in coyote areas, are terrible pet owners. It's a catch 22 I suppose cause both coyotes and cats are major problems where they roam where they shouldn't.

I’d like to add on cougars here. The sheer number of invasive large herbivores they’ve started to prey on is incredible. Gemsbok, zebras, Barbary sheep, nilgai, feral horses, feral hogs, they’re really something.
Wait seriously? Zebras and Feral Horses? Are they hunting adults or young? If Cougars are taking down adult Zebras that’s pretty impressive in it’s own right, although it wouldn’t surprise me if they could take down a Zebra given that I’ve heard of them taking down adult bull elk and possibly even Moose, because I never hear about Leopards taking down adult Zebras, and Cougars and Leopards are pretty much the same size on average, but I’ve heard that Cougars can get bigger. Also where were Zebras introduced in the U.S.? I’ve heard of these other invasive species you mentioned being in certain parts of the U.S. but I haven’t heard of Zebras being introduced, although if I had to guess is it somewhere like Texas or New Mexico? Just asking out of curiosity.
Update: just looked it up, I saw that wild Zebras are actually living in the San Simeon Grasslands of Central California, and there have been reports of Cougars successfully hunting young Zebras, but no reports as of yet for Cougars successfully hunting full grown Zebras though, but wouldn’t say it’s impossible for them. It was cool looking that up, I never even knew there were wild Zebras in California, they feel like a non-native species that’s surprisingly obscure when you put them next to the more well known non-native species in the U.S. like the Feral Hogs and Burmese Pythons, perhaps because the Zebras don’t get as much news coverage, the Zebra population numbers were 126 in 2020 but as of 2022 it went up to 151 and the population is believed to still be growing.

Aussie here. We have a native hawk that resides in our warehouse (he's called Harvey), and he just absolutely annihilates any invasive rock doves that have an annoying habit of flying in. . .
@@TsukiCove we've tamed 3 generations of magpies we all love feeding during smoko, but there's always been an issue with the pigeons as we can't reliably rid the warehouse of them (for obvious reasons, pigeon shit on our product isn't good). . . UNTIL NOW! So yes, Harvey is treated like absolute royalty :D
The wolf that was introduced into the western U.S. starting in the late 90’s through today is invasive (the irremotus grey wolf is indigenous to northern Canada) and is responsible for absolute devastation of cervids across the entire region.
Great video! Yes there are others that could have made this list but you can't include them all. An honorary mention I'll put here is the Cooper's Hawk. It has a fondness for the Eurasian Collared Dove which has swept across the continent in recent decades.
Wild boar in Canada have just began spreading, they’ve yet establish their full potential range. I’ve yet to see any sign of them in my province in Manitoba, where they are apparently a prevalent issue. I think they are kept a lot more in check here naturally then in some of their native range where predators have been wiped out from human action. But the man punt of agriculture that occurs here provides them essentially an infinite food source.
Cougars, Black Bear, Coyotes (who eat their Piglets), & our lovely local rednecks have prevented Boar from establishing themselves in my old stomping grounds. Now that I'm in Hawaii there's none of these factors keeping them in check so they're horribly invasive here.
Puma is also one of the best predators keeping invasive species in control like wild boar, many introducing deers and goats species in North America ecosystem
I believe feral hogs were first introduced to North America in the 1500’s by the Spaniards, also if only wolves and mountain lions hadn’t been eradicated from the eastern USA
Unfortunately their are not enough Bears, Puma's and Wolves left in the Eastern half of the US to control wild Boar. Your video is incorrect wild Boar have been in the US for over 100 years, just not the hardy Eastern European type that was introduced to Canada to make Super Pigs. Alligator Gar are the only species of Gar that can eat average sized Silver Carp, and Alligator Gar have been extirpated from much of their range in the middle Midwest USA where the worst carp invasions are happening (Ohio, Indiana).
Seeing how Humans are scared of Aliens taking over the Earth... Maybe we can find a way to eat them? We're still helping our planet from invasive species, and imagine what an Alien would taste like. Chicken, Fish, Fruit?
Realistically speaking, if aliens ever get to earth, they''ll most likely contain a type of extraterrestrial bacteria or virus that is so different from the ones here on Earth, that no species on Earth has any immunity to, and we'll all be wiped out.
Since wild boar introduction in east Tennessee if you hike for any length in the Smokies it is highly advisable to boil your water before consuming it. It seems as though wild boar like to roll in the water to make mud. It's just safe to boil your water and not chance it. The last thing you want to be is in the back country, sick and unable to get out.
You could've included Owls & Rattlesnakes here as well, along with the other predators people mentioned, since they will eat invasive rodents like Red Squirrels while larger Owls will even prey on feral Cats.
I live in South Carolina and It was one of the national parks that I used to go to. That a woman was jogging and ran right past a gator that was sitting legit in the middle of the walkway, she could've lost a leg but she didn't even realize until we yelled at her... Always be aware of your surroundings please.
A friend from college was walking along the C & O Canal trail with his wife and some friends. He came upon a rattle snake stretched out across the toe path with a chipmunk in its mouth, working it down its throat. He saw mothers with children and strollers up ahead on the path and wanted to pick up the snake and move it aside into the underbrush so that it wouldn't scare the families and so that it wouldn't be frightened or even hurt by the people coming along. He was pretty sure that it would be safe because the snake's mouth was full. His wife, a sensible woman, would not let him do it and made him move along. They simply warned the families with small children to stay away from that area of the toe path and reported their sight to the ranger when they got back from their hike.
4:56 this map is incorrect, i live in one of the places where it says there is no bear population but in fact i see them constantly, not angry at you just at the creator of the map for not doing their research
I'm sure they did as much research as they could. America is huge. Can't find every single animal in existence. There's even rumors about grizzly bears in Colorado.
Yes cougars are probably the single most important and proficient hunter of non-native/invasive mammals in both North and South America. They target non-native burros in the Mojavi desert, African and Asian antelopes like gemsboks, oryx, and nilgai in the southwest, barbary sheep in west Texas, non-native deer species in South America, and feral swine anywhere the two overlap like in Florida or the Pantanal.
@@kingjiggle4th789don’t forget the zebras that live in California. There’s large herds that were released decades ago and cougars are hunting the adults and calves. This is upsetting the locals who ended up loving the zebras. Cougars are incredibly efficient at hunting large invasive animals like zebra, hogs, and oryx. Cougars certainly punch above their weight and are the most impressive predator in my opinion.
There is no way the black bear can keep up with the number of feral hogs. Every black bear could kill and eat a hog per day, and the number of pigs would continue to rise.
Very grateful that you didn’t include wolves. The introduction of the irremotus grey wolf into the western U.S. is one of the greatest wildlife management failures in the history of our species.
I know it would probably just cause more problems, but I’ve often wondered if jaguars would be effective predators of invasive species in the Everglades as they take on large snakes in their natural habitats and might put a dent in the python population. The problem is the time required to breed a large enough test population which would need to be sterilized before releasing them to find out.
The black bear couldn’t eat all the wild hogs if they wanted to bc the wild hog population is massive. The python is extremely successful as an invasive species.
Maybe you should do a video called 10 secretive birds in the uk featuring the Eurasian bittern Eurasian woodcock long eared owl common snipe jack snipe corncrake water rail Common nightingale European nightjar and the Eurasian jay
I'm an aspiring zookeeper and if I never get to fulfill my dream of being a big cat keeper, other carnivores like bears and alligators are my second choice. Such incredible beasts
They will eat any cat they can catch. Dogs, too. Where I live, the local Facebook community group has several missing pet posts every day. I wonder how many were victims of coyotes.
And with any luck, people will stop vilifying and hunting these predators. (I couldn't believe about the stupid fishermen who couldn't tell a native species from an invasive. Well, sadly, I could ...)
I live in Connecticut and I have seen a big change in the numbers of stray and/or roaming cats. Many feel that cats can take care of themselves. They cannot. If you care about your cat, keep it in the house. In the past 5 or 6 years coyotes have moved into the area. They enjoy eating cats. They are easy to catch compared to wild animals. There are no longer cats using my garden for their litter box. I haven't even seen a cat in at least 2 years. I do not hate cats. My husband and I had a wonderful cat for 19 years. He never went outside except when we took him to the vet for a yearly physical. He had all his shots for rabies, distemper, etc. Even though he never went out, he was still protected. The coyotes are here because there is a lot of game. It is nature's way of creating a balance.
I doubt falcons make much of a dent in the massive starling population. Same with bears and feral pigs. There are way more of the latter, in both cases. Plus bears are omnivorous, and much of their diet isn't meat, anyways.
Canines like coyotes and feral dogs are far and away the most common predators of house cats, but other occasional predators include birds of prey and larger cats
I live near a federal wildlife refuge, and a state refuge. The state used to supplement the deer during the winter until the cutback on funds! When the non-profit budgets got cut, we suddenly had Coyotes howling everywhere! After the deer population dwindled so did the Coyotes! Our tax dollars at work?😂😂
