3 Of The Largest Invasive Species In The World

Показать описание

Most countries around the world are dealing with problem invasive species. In most cases it can be easy to avoid invasive species and you might not even notice that they are there. There are some species on the other hand that are almost impossible to ignore and these are the giant invasive species. In this video i will be covering some of these giants as i will be going through 3 of the largest invasive species in the world.

Nile crocs and Hippos after spreading all the way to Mexico
Hippo: Have we met before??
Nile: Yah definitely met before.

The invasive crocodilians in Florida can’t out compete the American Alligator. They could possibly out compete the native American Crocodile. This is because the American Crocodile, and the invasive crocodilians are restricted to the southern most portions of the Everglades due the cold winters. They can’t survive, long term, any further north let alone breed. However, the American Alligator is adapted to survive all the way up into parts of the Carolinas. It can even survive under frozen ice as long as it’s nostrils are above the ice. The Nile Crocodile can’t do that. Therefore it can’t out compete the American Alligator.

No clue we had Nile crocodiles in Florida, and Camels have practically made themselves part of the Australian environment it seems. Great video again brother.

Camels were imported to the U. S in the 1800s as well but the animals that escaped or were released didn't thrive due to low numbers. Horses, another introduced animal, have done quite well in the western states.

There's also a large feral Asian water buffalo population in Brazil
Despite their large size I think they do have predators in the form of jaguars and anacondas

We have a Nandu population here in germany. Its crazy how a big bird of the southern hemisphere can thrive in a much colder environment.
We also have several parrot colonies in larger cities, which fill gabs in the ecosystem and only compete on a small scale with native birds.
Problems come with animals like racoons or black squirrels. Black squirrels accutally kill our orange squirrels while the racoon has no natural predator and is therefor just like a really big rat.

I knew the Camels and Hippos would be on the list but I had NO Idea Nile Crocodiles were getting in Florida! Just when I thought Florida couldn't get any scarier...

Water buffalo in Australia and the mouth of the amazon.
But in Brazil it seems to have become a useful resource.
In South America
Water buffaloes were introduced into the Amazon River basin in 1895. They are now extensively used there for meat and dairy production. In 2005, the water buffalo herd in the Brazilian Amazon stood at roughly 1.6 million head, of which 460, 000 were located in the lower Amazon floodplains.

I didn't realize the hippos were causing algae blooms as well. They should really get to culling them off in my opinion.

LeoTheYuty

Australia also have a massive population of feral horses, donkeys, pigs, sheep, goats, cows, buffaloes as well as camels. All of then are counted in hundreds of thousands or maybe millions. This is not even taking into consideration the farmed livestock - only feral animals.

maciejgronowski

Reticulated Pythons, and the Green Anaconda are both honourable mentions for the everglades largest invasive species. depends if you consider length, or weight for largest.

I'm surprised you didn't bring up the gemsbok in New Mexico. Although from what I hear they're more "controlled" but it's still cause for concern that they could become more invasive

caydensteele

Happy new year in advance Tsuki. It's been a positive year and continue doing po what you do best. Sending my regards ❤🎉

Water Buffalo in Australia was also a good animal for this list

clmmeerts

on a positive note water buffalo along with wild hogs are invasive species on the Indonesian islands but instead of having a negative impact they have actually had a positive one as they ended up filling the role of another species of large native animal that went extinct several hundred years ago as it was the only animal that was eating certain plants on the islands and more importantly was the main food source of the komodo dragon which ended up going extinct on several islands as a result of it's main prey disappearing but the water buffalo and hogs being added to the islands ended up causing the komodo dragons numbers to slowly rebound on the bigger islands and also stop/stabilize or atleast slow there decline on the smaller islands that they still inhabit.
