Рет қаралды 297,756
Күн бұрынOn this channel i have made many different videos on problem invasive species. In these invasive species videos i normally focus on a certain area and go through a few species that are invasive there. This video will be a little different as i will be going through 5 american species that are great at invading the rest of the world. Many american creatures make great invasive species and in todays video i will be going through just a few as i will be going through 5 of the worst american invaders.

Why is mine so small? I have a male red ear slider and he is been the same size for about 10 years now. He is about 4 inches and hasn't grown pass that. Also yes he is healthy and still alive but for some reason he won't grow anymore. We had a female that we had to get rid of because she was big like she was around 8 inches might even be bigger now don't know. So is that being small just male red ear slider thing or does my turtle just have something keeping him from growing bigger?

Raccoons would take probably several generations through careful selection or gene manipulation could make it faster but that’s a lot of time and money you’d have to invest in the hopes of getting a domesticated raccoon. Better off getting a different pet than a raccoon. They are cute as babies but as adults they are destructive/aggressive little brutes.

I remember once I was watching a reality show episode filmed in Japan and there was a close-up of a red-eared slider in a botanical garden, which struck me funny because I knew they were native to where I live in the US. I looked it up and apparently they caused such a huge problem in Japan that their import was banned in the country.

I personally think that a cull of mink might be necessary in the UK, they are having a detrimental impact on our waterways, completely eradicating waterbirds, amphibians, fish as well as the endangered watervole. I also think something should be done about sliders to, as they are another invasive species in the UK, and while not being as detrimental as mink can still cause declines in bird and fish populations

I am a little bit older (62) but I remember back in the early 1960's you could buy South American caimans at a local drugstore. Never heard any stories about them being released in the wild and growing to large sizes. On a side note, the Colorado river is now infested with invasive zebra mussels. A native American fish, the redear, also known as the shellcracker, is capable of eating these mussels and are now reaching tremendous sizes for their species. A world record redear of over 6 pounds was caught at lake Havasu. A huge redear would normally be 1 or 2 pounds.

@@TsukiCove they probably eat a lot of food meant for outside pets. They are dumpster divers too, hence the nickname "trash panda". I have learned to bang on the door to the garbage compactor at work so that I won't find a Ricky staring at me when I throw something away.

A fur coat is kinda tacky if you didn’t hunt it yourself. My grandma had a fox coat, my grandpa trapped them when they were getting to be too many to manage safety for the chickens.

Tsuki about the mink entry. It's shameful to admit but most people do know that about the harvesting facilities. They just don't care as long as they can get their furcoats and all the better if it's cheap too. Great video and keep it up 👍

Raccoons are highly adaptable and very smart. Plus I have heard that the urban ones are far smarter than their woodland counterparts. If you have a raccoon problem in your country, you can only hope to maybe control it a little, but you'll never get rid of them.

I'm surprised the grey squirrel isn't on the list. I'm told they've driven the native red squirrels largely out of their range throughout the UK. I consider them America's revenge for the house sparrow, rock dove (aka street pigeon) and starling, which are now the most common birds in the US. They've driven many native species like creepers and bluebirds away from the suburbs to the deep woods. I saw a brown creeper in Queens, NYC as a child in the early 1960s and didn't see another for almost 60 years, when I got into woodland hiking and bird photography.

It's kinda unusual you put competition with European mink as the last "trouble", while it is pretty much the greatest effect American minks have, that's the common species now, while native is endangered.

I lived in the south my whole life and didn’t know red ear sliders were invasive. They are chill, like you said they just chill on logs in the swamp land, don’t do nothing but look photogenic. Like if your in a creek and see a red slider it’s chill, if you don’t it feels like something is missing. Like you said they are good pets too, good first pets hell just catch a wild one at this point. I’ve never had one because reptiles aren’t my thing but if I had to get a turtle I’d probably catch a wild slider because they are everywhere
@Smokeyjoedamanedamythdalegend Жыл бұрын
Raccoons are chill tho they are smart so they get a pass. I knew a family that hung around a rehab and came out every single night right up to us for some food. We’d give them chips or pizza and they’d take it right out your hand. They are like cats tho, they look cute but randomly they can snap and mess you up bad. That’s why I don’t have one, they are chill just sketchy it’s like owning a wild cat maybe it wants scratches or maybe it wants blood you can’t tell. With a dog you can learn the body language but with a cat they can look the exact same aggressive and docile it’s just up to them if they want to attack.

As someone who grew up in an area where there were several mink farms, I´m glad to see that it´s an industry that´s dying. Thanks to Covid, all industrial mink holds were shut down and all of the mink who lived there put down, when it was found out that the disease could spread from them to us. By the end, it was pretty much only the Chinese market, they were selling to anyway and many of them wanted to get out, but had no option except to continue.
