Honorable mention should be the Nilgai here in South Texas. They're these large antelope from India/Pakistan but are now invasive in Texas. They're quite large creatures.

The monk parakeet would've been a good addition. They're from south America and are now found in Chicago, New York, Detroit, and of course Florida.

The strangest thing I’ve seen are the Peacocks that live in LA County here in California. They’ve got established populations in Covina and San Dimas. I have no idea where they come from or how they survive against the coyotes. Cool video, thanks

The Gemsbok is such a terrifying and amazing creature! Imagine one charging at you…with its head lowered…

Some imported pets gone feral that could make absolute pandemonium if they started to breed in Florida: In a pool in a quarry they found live piranhas. And in the vicinity of Miami they found cobras with fangs pulled out. Imagine those critters surviving and breeding...

There are so many exotic ungulates introduced to the U.S Gemsbok, Nilgai, Barbary Sheep, Warthogs, Chital deer, Sambar deer, Sika deer, Fallow deer, three species of ibex, 2 species of gazelle, including the critically endangered dama gazelle, scimitar-horned oryx, addax antelope, and even small populations of kudu, eland, and red deer, and so many more in exotic ranches. There’s also the zebras of Hearst Castle in California. And of course, there’s the feral hogs.

There are quite a few parrots flying around south FL where I call home. Different species of conures and parakeets u can flying around here. From quakers to macaws to conures. Many escaped during hurricane Andrew along with a massive amount of Burmese pythons.

Not sure if really much of an expert of botany but I’m hoping in the future that you can make a video of list of non native plants and trees in the USA.

The Green Iguanas and the Burmese Pythons that are in Florida are worth a mention. I see videos of people that get contracted to remove Green Iguana populations from areas using air rifles.

I love when you talk about cool invasive (I know invasive species aren’t cool but you know what I mean) species from my native county of the USA!

Some of these animals are endangered so I'm kinda ok with them being invasive here as long as they are managed and aren't ridiculous hurting our environment

Some other animals that don't belong in north America include feral domestic pigs, wild horses, Burmese pythons, sparrows, and lets not forget Argentine ants, fire ants, Africanized bees, Asian hornets, Asian Lady beetles, Mediterranean fruit flies. The list of exotic invasive species is huge. Invasive plants are another matter...

the European collard dove has been making its way across north America very successfully

I live in New Mexico. We have 3 nonnative species that NM Game and Fish introduced. The oryx like u mentioned we also have the barbary sheep and the Persian Ibex.

There are Monk parakeets in parts of Texas. I've seen them wild in Houston and in Austin. They seem to be pretty well loved in Austin. PS, I have a friend in New York state who says these beautiful green birds live there, too.

I have at least a couple of hundred Moroccan Audad on my property.I live in West Texas, three of them escaped from a game ranch 7 years ago and now there are so many I see them grazing around the canyons on the daily. PS: They taste wonderful. 🤠

There is a huge difference between an introduced (non-native) and an invasive (introduced AND harmful to native animals) species. If we're talking about introduced species, horses and cats also fall into that category. None of the animals in your videos are invasive. But there are lots of others that are a serious threat to native species and cause considerable ecological or economic harm. Among these are Asian carps, lionfish, zebra mussels or Burmese pythons.

Love you vids

But yeah I’ve seen a few monk parakeets growing up in New Jersey as they can surprisingly survive our winters.

I will never stop thanking you for your content. This is my favourite channel on KZfaq.

You could do a video on invasive species of South Texas easily, Florida has the reptiles but they're so many invasive mammals here. You never know what you'll find around here.

Can you do a video on avatism ( devloping traits that were previously lost in animals)

I’m guessing you have done something on the common carp but their Journey is fascinating.

nanday parrots are also an invasive species in florida, in fact you can see them extremely regularly in places like sarasota, theyre almost like pigeons there lol i think theres also a monkey colony in florida that escaped and swam from a research facility

The European starling should be on this list as well as pythons.

A video idea you can do is endangers species in Vietnam and animal idea’s. Birds - green peacock - Vietnamese pheasant - Grey crowned crocias Fish - white spotted bamboo shark - giant Mekong catfish - coral trout -Jullien carp - tiger tailed seahorse Mammals - Asian golden cat - Chinese pangolin - Asian tapir - Irrawaddy dolphin Reptiles - bengal monitor - Siamese crocodile Amphibians - tam dao salamander - Vietnam flying frog

Great now we have warthogs to go along with the feral pigs here in Texas. I've seen the feral pigs, but no warthogs.

in india our ecosystem is so strong that if we try to introduce gemsboks in india , theyll just get screwed over by nilgai , but our waters are a bit of a problem , lots of fish are invasive over here.

Some of the nonnative species I’ve found here in Florida: Burmese python, green iguana, red headed agama, Cuban tree frog, brown anole, cane toad, Nile monitor, black and white tegu, macaque monkey, red crowned Amazon parrot, monk parakeet, wild boar, tilapia, house geckos, cichlids, curly tail lizards, lion fish, common plecos, armadillo, cats, dogs, peacocks, Muscovy ducks, tokay geckos, red ear sliders, Oscar, Asians carp, apple snail, and chameleons. Not all of these are particularly threatening to the ecosystem, but some are. A lot of them were released before people knew what damage they could cause. A lot of them also escape during hurricane Andrew. Some were even released on purpose as tourist attractions like the monkeys. Some are still a result of irresponsible or unlucky pet owners. It’s sad, because the FWC is now drafting a policy that would make it illegal to own any non native and non domesticated species, making people give up beloved pets or face fines/jail time. And because it’s not a law, it’s a policy, they can take away existing pets or prevent people from renewing the proper license for licensed animals. I see where they are coming from, but it just feels so wrong.

Please make a video 5 animals found only in Myanmar

Can't believe you haven't talked about lovebirds in the US yet... There are huge populations in Arizona ( phx. South to Tuscan) I'm sure they are in California Florida Texas.... any state that has palm trees ... Also there are feral populations of Quaker parrots ... in New your and Chicago... there are wild parrotlets in san Diego!? Dunni if they are feral or not And a large mixed flock of parrots in San Francisco there's a documentary about... Also there are alot of feral Java rice birds and Australian finches( spice finches& zebra ) in fla. And Texas I'm sure.

awesome video

You've probably already discussed the coypu (aka nutria). This South American swamp rodent was brought to the US for the fur trade. They've turned out to have mediocre fur and a talent for destroying marshlands when they've escaped from captivity. I understand they're now also in the UK, France, Japan, and multiple other countries.

There's also a weird group of green parrots in Ventura County. Saw them a few times in Newbury Park. The rumor is that they were released from some kind of smuggling operation.

I cant properly explain how many basilisks there are here, THEYRE ABSOLUTELY EVERYWHERE

The gemsbuck is also in Texas there’s thousands

One animal that you could include in this video is. Parakeets in San Francisco California

Also Brown trout, common carp, bighead and silver carp, box elder bugs, spotted lantern flies, jumping worms, ring neck pheasant so on and so on

There's the Snakehead fish that have been introduced to the US a little while ago, but have just now started popping up close to where I live.

Really enjoy these videos on nonnative species! Pretty interesting to get to know their stories and how they are managed at the moment. Would love to see a video featuring the north american mink, and how it is affecting ecosystems around the world.

I like how you showed the havalena as a native most people group them with invasives and dont see the native ones somehow.

Sooner or later Ben from the Urban Rescue Ranch might feature these animals in a video.

There are flocks of wild green parrots in Orange County, CA. You can sometimes hear them flying over homes or roosing in threes. They are a nusance in local orange groves, if there are any orange groves left in Orange County,

The most famous Warthog is Pumba from Disney's The Lion King.

when a country has too many warthogs and gemsbok but they eat mc donalds...

White sand gemsbok and ibex aren’t even considered invasive anymore…..hunters can even draw tags for them

I thought the parrots weren’t doing damage.

You should do endangered animals of Laos 🇱🇦

Those damn lionfish , also the Asian carp, and there are plants like purple loosestrife and scotch broom Good job on your video 👍

The news made such a big deal about the Asian Giant Hornet arriving in Washington. Well, fact is that they've been in the US since the 90s. Alabama, Ohio, and Pennsylvania have had established populations of them for nearly 3 decades.

Great video

Very interesting!

If there are any honorable mentions, I would includes the zebras in California and the tigers in Texas.

Cool video but can you do 5 invasive species in Sweden or France?

dude keep up the good work.

I have also seen parrots flying around in San Bernardino county, southern California.

I think the only parrot that can be considered invasive in the US is the Quaker parrot because they build nests with sticks and sometimes do it in electric posts. Other than that, no parrot I'd really invasive because they don't eat the same thing as native birds do and mainly feed in introduced non native tree nuts and seeds as well as bird feeders. The reason why parrots have thrived in Florida and California is because of the abundance of introduced tropical trees and palms

Coconut Creek FL here. I live on a lake and I see a bunch of these invasives. you didn't mention the iguanas and pythons.

Macaws can live longer than 70 years. We nearly adopted an 84 year old macaw who's original owner had died of old age last month.

These are some of the most beautiful invasive animals I’ve ever seen!

My grandfather had a blue and gold. When he passed my aunt took her. When my aunt passes I’ll take her. She’s in her 40’s and will probably live another 20 years

Not aware of many wild macaws in US, now there are known wild Flocks of conures and quaker parrots "conures of telegraph Hill in CA" and Flocks of quakers in New Orleans and other southern areas, and some states have outlawed their possession due to the invasiveness.

There's a small wild population of (I think) Green Parakeets here in New Orleans. I think they were a Hurricane Katrina escapee and have established I think some 30+ wild birds.

Some others I know of if anyones interested: The monkeys in St. Petersburg Florida, snakehead fish, asian carp, Mediterranean geckos, Nile crocodile in florida, and of course all the new snakes of the Everglades.

Florida suffers from many invasive species mostly due to the relaxed laws in Florida regarding exotic pets. Because of this in 1992 a really bad storm named hurricane Andrew hit Florida causing many homes and zoos to get demolished and many different types of wild animals were set loose. Florida's climate is very warm and humid allowing animals particularly from southeast Asia to thrive. Especially the Burmese python. It's destroying the ecosystem of the everglades.

The crazy Floridian is definitely a species you can put on this list, no way they are the same as real humans because they're some of the scariest/weirdest things you'll ever hear of. The kind of people that make a big constrictor snake population out of thin air lol

There are protections for non natives in Florida. An example are peacocks and hens. Also had no clue about the gemsbok and warthog. Wild stuff

What a great channel! Every time I watch a video here I learn something new! Thank you so much for the great research, production and posting of these videos! Most Respectfully, Michael Weeks, San Antonio, Texas.

Wild populations of macaws can be found in the municipality of Guaynabo in Puerto Rico. Invasive species in Puerto Rico would be an interesting subject to cover.

I know lionfish are a big problem around the southeast coastlines here

You could do a top 20 on Florida alone

Everyone seems to love invasive parrots, and the reason is actually because they help plant populations grow, which is why people don’t care that their town is full with them

I like how you showed the feral hog as a “native” species of Texas

Seems like the pet trade gets most of the smoke for invasives, but considering the cost of most exotics and the fact that Florida is a big import destination I find it hard to believe that there's that many people carelessly letting their pets that cost hundreds/thousands escape. Accidents do happen of course but there has to be multiple avenues leading to a stable breeding population

I actually live in Pembroke Pines at the moment. I'll have to keep an eye out for them

Florida also has rhesus macaque monkeys, boa constrictors, and pythons.

After watching your videos on parasites, I don't recall seeing any information on the parasites that are killing bees in America?

The Cherry Headed Conure lives in San Francisco, mainly around Telegraph Hill. Mark Bittner wrote a book about his experiences with them, which was made into a film called The Wild Parrots of Telegraph Hill. Macaws should not be kept as pets. My son has one - a rescue who could not live in the wild due to maltreatment by a previous owner. She's happy and well bonded to him, but macaws should never be taken from the wild as they will never be good pets.

There are feral wild Oryx in Texas as well

Please please please please do 5 invasive species in Saudi Arabia rabbit,killer Bee,kudzu,crab and northern snakehead please please if you do it I will watch your videos everyday!

Fallow deer are an invasive species of deer in Texas.

Huge population of conures in the Telegraph Hill neighborhood of San Francisco!

So the Norwegian Blue is on the list, it's pining for the Fjords

When I lived in Costa Rica, the locals call the Bassillisks the Jesus Christ Lizards for their ability to run across rivers

I found out quacker parrots are invasive, but they fill the same nitch that was once occupied by an indigenous parrot that was hunted to extinction in North America. They also like to harass cats which reduces their predation on song birds , so while many states have a ban on the monk parrot I see it as a good thing.

Was driving down a highway in Oklahoma and spotted a group of Kangaroo's in the tree line with one dead on the side of the highway. Guess we're getting those too lol.

San Francisco has a flock of conures near Telegraph Hill

Peacocks in Florida

Given that the U.S. did have parrots at one point, it only makes sense to bring in Macaws to fill in the niche vacated by extinct species.

You’ll need to update the video next year to add me and my 2 brothers on the list

warthog in Texas wow 😳😳😳💜

Same in Costa Rica Dogs Cats in natural areas in some coasts for protection porpuses are completely prohibited💪🏻👏👏👏

The blue and yellow macaw can also be found in south Carolina in the wild

remarkable job of editing and splicing, what was the tune or song you were listening to while compiling?

Blue and Yellow Macaw’s of Florida went full circle lol

Warthog Grey-Headed Swamp Hen Gemsbok Brown Basilisk Blue and Yellow Macaw

3:32 I confused the Purple Swamphen with the Purple Gallinule because they are in the same genus, so I thought the Purple Gallinule was introduced. Took me until earlier this year to realize they were two different species.

There are a number of lesser known introduced species in Australia, including two species of doves and the very successful Indian Myna in the east of the country. There are also populations of a number of British/European species in the east, such as starlings, thrushes and sparrows.

i grew up and now live again in florida. we have another invasive lizard called cuban brown anole. as well ive heard of monkeys in and near silver springs.

Himalayan tahr can be invasive in New Mexico and California they got there from escapees from mount Taylor
