"Do you know how the Super Pigs first came into being? They were Pigs once, taken by the dark powers, tortured and mutilated. A ruined and terrible form of life." - Saruman Probably

I adopted two feral kittens. They were so wild they had to be kept in a guinea pig cage and I had to swaddle them in a towel with only their heads visible so I could get close to them and tame them. They grew up to be the most loving and gentle cats I've ever had.

I never thought I'd hear the phrase "feral rice" but here we are.

But also remember, dingoes were able to naturalize by outcompeting mainland thylacine species. So while they became naturalized, a niche had to open up for them first.

THANK YOU FOR TALKING ABOUT FERAL CATS IN AUS!! They've decimated my neighbourhoods bird population and it's so sad.

I never understood why so many people apparently hate pigeons. These are some of the most gentle and non threatening animals out there, and contrary to popular belief they barely even carry diseases, you are far more likely to get infected from interacting with chickens than you do with pigeons (and even then still low unless you eat them raw) yet you never hear people complain about chickens being dirty. Pigeons got treated so damn poorly by humans it's crazy

“You just can’t barbecue your way out of a hog problem” Hold my beer.

It could be interesting to see a video talking about the Peccary; there doesn't seem to one in the channel's library yet, at least not that I could find. And honestly speaking, Peccaries deserve more attention.

My (temporary) roommate has a young feral barn cat.🐈 My cats are looking at me like "what is wrong with that thing" and they are trying to train it to behave. 😮 It's been a rough month.

The pigeons are brutally oppressed... I'm sure not even 1 pigeon would agree to an interview due to fear of retribution

Ooh ooh. Talk about wild woodland creatures that survive in urban and highly populated sub-urban areas. Like groundhogs, gophers, squirrels, skunks, raccoons, chipmunks, etc...

Tbh it's uncertain whether the Przewalski's horse is a true wild lineage or also a rewilding/feral horse because there are contradicting studies on when their genetics split from other horses.

I have never heard about feral crops before this! I realize the channel is called animalogic but it would be very interesting and I would love to have a longer video on it.

"You just can't barbecue your way out of a wild pig problem" Are? Are you challenging me?

Huh... I always thought Rock Pigeons and Pigeons were the same thing. Didn't realize what we see in the city is the feral version of Rock Pigeons

I was waiting for you to mention the rabbits in Australia as well as the pythons in Florida and the Lionfish, which may or may not have been "domesticated". It is sure wrecking havoc in places.

I went back and watched that 9 year old pigeon video. Same music and format as today! Crazy!

"how the turntable's...." ALWAYS makes me laugh!!! Love this channel, GREAT work!

If you listen closely the cow is mowing “fight the power!!!!”

I’m not sure about the feral hogs, but domestic pigs can produce 2 litters a year, three under ideal conditions. So twelve piglets per year is probably an underestimate.

Was waiting on a video of the Canadian super pigs

4:58 “native eco systems” ah yesm the wheat fields, mother nature’s buffet

‘Some More News’ has been telling us about the boars for years.

Super pigs! This episode is going to be amazing!

Let's talk about the okapi 🤩 it is my favorite animal and I've only seen it once, at a zoo, when I was the child. I'm 55 years old now 🤘🏾

We don't have enough apex predator to control the pigs. We let them get out of control, human ignorance. Male boar is on average 500lbs, and even grizzly will think twice before hunting one.

The armies of Ganon grow stronger by the day.

My family has been eating pigeon for generations. They are delicious, easy to trap or raise, don't know why more people don't eat them. We've been dealing with wild hogs here in Texas for a long time, we eat them too.

Wait, Cody's wild boars weren't just an allegory?! 😮

As a Kentuckian I love seeing wild horses. Majestic animals.

Have y'all ever done an episode on Cumberland Island off the coast of the state of GA? They have all kinds of wild animals that don't belong there, and turtles hatch there.. it's a fun weird trip

horses is such a tricky topic in the us at least

As an og fan, I DID remember the pigeon episode!

"You just can't barbecue your way out of a wild pig problem" --- Well you could, but the *problem* is catching them. You know, people used to get killed on wild boar hunts all the time, because they thought it was worth the risk. Did you see GoT?

Horses were NOT reintroduced to the Americas in the late 1400s. Most sources I could find say 1519 when horses were brought over with Cortez. AnimalLogic probably got this from PBS (which doesn't provide a source, as usual). Possible but highly unlikely exception: Pedro Álvares Cabral in 1500.

Notice the dingo was also hated, but he claims him because of them hunting the pigs. But if they had not seen this, they would be looked at in the same manner as the pigs.

The swiming pigs are adorable.

06:11 "You just can't barbecue your way out of a wild pig problem......." HOLD MY BEER! CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

Love you Danielle 🥰 What a journey since you started, I'm so thankful for what you share with us and... you're honestly an inspiration ☺️

13:50 You mean their feral descendants. The cats in the past were the ancestors.

@Animalogic, in southwest Michigan, the European garden flower, purple loose-strife, has taken over thousands of miles of the lengths of the tributary rivers of the St. Joseph river system. In some places accessible to people, like parks, one can see along streams perhaps two or three Native plants, where there should be a dozen species, and it is very quiet, because purple loose-strife doesn't support any Native animals in the local food web. But it does suppress and make locally extinct those plants the local web needed. "But they look so pretty....."

"they need a diverse appetite that doesn't overlap too much with human food" -- proceeds to list exactly the foods humans eat the most ever since agriculture became a thing

Oh no, Cody Johnston warned us but we didn't listen!

Super pigs. Great, just great...Can we get some more timber wolves please?

Do an episode about sturgeons, please.

Like always. this video was packed with infromation. since feral plants where mentioned in the biginning, when you started talking about the impact of feral riceplants I thought this would be the second half of the video. I would like to watch the sequal plant episode.

Danielle is so pretty, with a great sense of informative delivery; and such a warm voice. She's some serious eye-candy!💜

As far as I'm aware, Przewalski horses aren't wild but rather a breed of ancient feral horses. I believe the current consensus is that there are no extant species of wild horses.

Cody warned us

Humans have re-wilded themselves in a lot of Australia. The last time I went for a party in the bush, some real feral ones turned up 😆

Coincidentally in yesterday’s episode of BBC’c QI they talked about wild boars having been imported to America and also how a cross between a wild boar and a domestic pig grew into hogzilla. Sandi also mentioned that earth worms were unintentionally brought over. I didn’t know that there were no earth worms in America between the ice ages and Europeans unwittingly importing them.

_Domesticated_ cows can be quite aggressive. Outdoorsman and humor writer Patrick McManus used to suggest that one invention hikers really needed was a jerkass cow detector.

hmm wonder how long as a rough generalization it takes for an Animal or plant to become part of the habitat they are introduced into. it could be an interesting video, comparing feral and invasive animals and other animals that have been introduced a long time ago like the dingo.

"how the turntables....have turned" :))) good one!

Some More News has been warning us of this for YEARS. When will society listen?

makes me think of the hippos in the americas, not feral obviously, but still thriving in their little heaven.

i am proud to be on the record that i love pigeons

One of my triggers is when cat owners let their pet outside with no consideration of how bad they can be for the environment. Foŕ example, a good friend of mine bragged to me about how her cat is so good at catching lizards, birds, and butterflies. I was appalled. That was someone who I had respected. And I witnessed a neighbor's cat snatch a sleeping bird right out of it's nest at night. It was a terrible scene. The cat wasn't even hungry because I had already fed him. (Again, he's the neighbor's cat.) On the plus side, though, that same neighbor and I have removed all of the feral femalè cats from our area. I tamed them by accident because I was taking care of them. I taught them how to be petted and enjoy human company. One mama we found a home for before she had her babies. Now that mama and her babies are all in loving homes rather than running wild. Two of the mamas decided to walk into my neighbor's home and raise their babies there. I now have 2 of their babies adopted into my home. (Inside only and spayed and vaccinated, of course.) The neighbor kept 1 kitten and isn't letting him outside until he is neutered. The mamas went to the shelter after they were close to fully tamed so they could be spayed and adopted into homes instead of just getting pregnant again. And the last feral girl is now in the neighbor's home until we can have her spayed. So, even though the neighbor sadly lers her cat hunt as he pleases, we are still doing our part to reducing the feral cat population, for the environment, and for the safety of the cats.

Feral children are interesting. Maybe you the reader will learn about them

Imagine irish wolfhounds going feral? 💀

I love that you call them what they were colonizers not settlers!

10:24 hey kinda Like what Spirit did with Rain, If you know you know. 14:41 that explains why Dingoes have that Shiba inu or Akita appearance.

What will I do when 30 - 50 feral hogs invade Animalogic in 3 - 5 minutes?

Basically the pig version of how the Africanized honey bee came to be.

Outstanding lecture. Thank you so much!

feral horses couldn't drag me away

I live in Hawaii. The pigs, chickens, and humans have all gone feral.

Although invasive feral species can be a huge threat, I won't villainize them. If there should one be called a villain it would be us. We are the biggest invasive species the world has ever seen. And to be honest, I really like the animals from this video, invasive or not. A final note: I am really curious how these habitats will look like within a couple of millennia

6:13 "You just can't barbecue your way out of a wild pig problem." 😂

“can’t bbq your way out” I died 😂

2:49 my favourite part (the background)

My dad raised pigeons as a kid in New York

I actually wrote a poem about a pigeon I met in Rome that I named Pauli.

I just realized we Germans don't have an equivalent word for "feral". We just say "wild".

A video on feral crops on the floralogic section please

having a shorter life span than humans helps with domestication too

16:28 Wow, upsidedown Australian jokes have been around for awhile, huh? Don't know why, but it felt like a newer invention.

Danielle’s voice is so soothing that it has a calming effect on me.

To be fair to feral cats though, as far as my limited knowledge goes, with the exception of places that never had wild cats, Australia, New Zealand, several islands, they are primarily a threat to species that already had most of their population wiped out and most of their habitat destroyed by the by far most destructive, adaptive and succesful invasive species on the planet. Us.

very interesting, thank you Danielle, thank you crew

I, for one, welcome our new feral overlords.

Horses originally evolved in North America, and died out over here at the end of the last ice age, along with many other megafauna species. We might not be able to bring back mammoths, but at least horses have come home again.

The dingo has probably taken the place of the Tasmanian Tiger as an apex predator in Australia. I would suspect it is now a keystone species there.

Cody warned you all about the Boar overlords, but did you listen? If you need a reference find Cody's Showdy.

It's difficult to call the cats "feral" on account of their domestication being dubious to begin with.

"How the turn tables..." Nice reference from The Office

pigeons are alright... i recently saved one from the factory i work. it was weakened, it was trapped there the whole weekend :P i held it captive for some hours, gave it some water and food. after that it was strong enough to flew away :)

The thing is, at this point, I think trying to eliminate invasive species is a losing battle. The best we can do is simply continue to reintroduce native species and even introduce more invasive species to suffering ecosystems as crazy as it sounds, in hopes that maybe they will rebalence them out like introducing Dingos did for Australia and reintroducing Wolves did for Yellowstone. Only this time I wouldn't be by accident.

I think they used a record number of piggy puns.

I just noticed your kitty glasses frame. Real awesome!

Feral Cow " Fear me human I said MOOOOOOOO!"

I love her voice

There's pigs species native from south america, In brazil they're called "Cateto" and "queixada" Just a small correction

There is an interesting thing that probably connects to the topic: Dollo's law. It is about the fact that a species can't go back to its "previous form", but instead it always evolves into a new one (that might resemble a previous one, for example, whales and fish). So every feral animal or plant eventually becomes something new, none of them evolve back to their actual ancestor.

My 10 years old cat was once a feral cat 😂. He's so sweet now 🥰

If you're so worried about super pigs, wait until they become hyper pigs

3:56, this is not an accurate representation of natural selection and is vague enough to be misinterpreted as Lamarkianism. it would be more accurate to say for a given biome and/or environment the organisms most suited to that environment are more likely to pass on genes, thus naturally selecting for traits advantageous for that given environment/biome. To say they "adapt" without the added context of those that survive and thus pass on genes are the "selected ones". The only real difference between natural and artificial selection is humans are intentionally controlling the given environment to select for those most suited for it.

They are more perfect versions of ourselves.

LOVE you Pompom hat :D
