The Invasive Animals Destroying the Planet

Показать описание
In this video, we take a closer look at some of the most destructive invasive animals that are causing irreversible damage to ecosystems around the world. From the United States to Australia and beyond, these species are not just a nuisance—they're fundamentally altering landscapes, wiping out native wildlife, and throwing ecosystems off balance. We rank them from bad to worst, revealing the severe impact each species has had on their environments.

The Silver Carp is threatening U.S. waterways, outcompeting native fish for food. In Australia, the invasive Cane Toad is poisoning predators, while feral rabbits are stripping the land of vegetation. Meanwhile, in New Zealand, rats have decimated native bird populations. In Florida’s Everglades, the Burmese Python has nearly wiped out small mammal populations, and feral pigs in the U.S. are destroying both crops and habitats. On Guam, the Brown Tree Snake has driven multiple bird species to extinction, and Australia’s feral cats are killing billions of native animals every year. Learn how these invasive species became such a global threat and the disastrous effects they are having on our planet's biodiversity.

In Brazil, someone had the brilliant idea of breeding domestic pigs with wild boars. It wasn't comercially viable so they were released into the wild. Now they're devastating farms.

8:33 As someone who is a Wildlife Conservation Field Technician in the Florida Everglades, oh buddy boy you don’t even know how bad it really is. We’ve started giving up on some of the really bad ones.

Being a pest control tech i genuinely appreciate you having rats & mice on the list. If anyone’s curious, mice reproduce every 19 days. Oh and they don’t need water.

the Burmese python part is inaccurate. People just releasing their pets would not create the amount of burms currently in florida. There was a snake breeding facility that was destroyed in hurricane andrew causing hundreds of snakes to be released.

As someone who worked in wildlife rehab, at the START of the video I said "cats better be on this list." With each progressing number, I got worried. At number 2 I said "NUMBER ONE BETTER BE CATS!" You did not disappoint lol.

Keep your little invasive species inside please!

Y'know, feral cats _would_ have natural predators if the people of Australia weren't so dead-set on their hate hard-on for dingoes.

So wait, there are millions of rapidly multiplying fish that are actually good to eat and eating them would be a benefit to local ecosystems but folks just... Don't want to eat them?
That is *beyond* stupid XD

That cane toad story is just Australia summarized

Another thing worth noting in regards to the feral cats in Australia is that many of them have grown to unnatrual large sizes. Some of them are reported to be twice the size of normal house cats. These are cats that has survived in the outback for generations, slowly evolving into a new breed of apex predators.

I think most of the problem with Burmese pythons in Florida is that there simply aren't enough predators to adequately keep them in check. Alligators are in a bit of an arms race with them, but other predators like mountain lions, black bears, and American crocodiles aren't present in enough abundance to control them. And jaguars, which once occupied Florida as well, have been driven locally extinct.
I earnestly think that, if concerted efforts to increase the populations of these animals in Florida were made, the problem would be alleviated a great deal.
