yes it's really cool i forgot to mention that in the video so i'll pin ya :)

I won't lie and say it's not cool, but it has resulted in hybrid animals which are much larger then Florida panthers. And the deer population in florida is suffering for it. It's much easier for these hybrid panthers to chase down the small deer in florida.

@@Herbex7 that’s total bullsh*t the deer population is not suffering becuz of the panther population…do u know how rare it is to even see one??? U do know Florida panthers are already one of the larger subspecies so introducing Texas panthers literally didn’t make them anymore “larger” stop spreading lies on the internet pls

@@Herbex7 I can promise you right now that does not correlate, the smaller panther already preyed on whitetail deer AND the deer population in Florida is still fucking enormous.

@@Herbex7 deer and most mammal population declines are due to pythons

Oh yeah, I work with one guy who said when he was growing up it was perfectly safe to swim in the Hillsborough River year-round.. nowadays, good luck buddy swimming there anytime that's not in the winter xD

I live in Louisiana and same can’t believe it

They're one of the best conservation success stories! Back in the 60's or so, if you saw one it was a big enough deal it could make the paper lol.

The California Condor used to be there, too.... 'bout ten thousand years ago.

@@Svensk7119 yeah back then there were a lot more megafauna! For them to eat lol

It is because of that illogical conformist mentality of humans believing that if it looks "pretty" and "beautiful", it MUST obviously be "good" is why we are doomed as a species. I am happy you decided to hang out with the Condor. You were mature enough to value the bigger picture of all things.

I really doubt there was a California condor at a petting zoo

@@colinalanhastings4220 dude he had a petting cobra at Ohio zoo… it lost its fangs though because they were crush by being hit by a car or something. so it wouldn’t be far fetch for them to be at a petting zoo. crying out loud I’ve seen a zoo trainer have an bold eagle in full hunting armor and showed people there hunting skills.

@Jose Mendez humans aren't doomed because, by nature, we avoid ugly animals. Thats just silly man.

@@unifiedhorizons2663 there are 300,000+ bald eagles. There's only like 400 California condors in the entire world. Maybe it was a turkey vulture at the petting zoo. They are also large, beautiful birds of prey but are much more common

very true i featured the bald eagle in one of my other videos on animals that were close to extinction :)

Eat over abundant in many areas. It’s crazy to think they were ever anywhere near endangerment

@@ciqme Overharvesting will do that.

thank you for the support i really appreciate it :)

will do, thanks for the support :)

Ooohhh, that would be great! Very good idea. 😊

A big problem is habitat loss, as it is with many endangered/threatened species. Florida's continued booming urban growth over the past 40 years. Florida here as well.

It looks like the Western panthers are expanding range into areas where the Eastern panther was formerly found. There have been a several confirmed sightings in Tennessee and they are very elusive. Alligators are also starting to spread their range into the western portion of the state.

Actually about 10% are wild, which accounts for about 50-60000 in the wild. Good news is that their numbers are doubling about every 8 years.

I think he just meant the east coast. Your right, cause we've being finding alot on the southern coast of lake superior

thanks i appreciate the support as always :)

Thank you very much Michael, I really appreciate it :)

I agree. Just like I wish the UK still had lynx

I live I Southern Oregon, and the cougar is not endangered here at all. In fact, there are more cougars around today than at any other time I can remember(I'm 53). I had never seen a cougar until 4 years ago, and I've seen 4 since then (l think 2 or 3 of the sightings were of the same animal though). The banning of hunting dogs and wild fires might have something to do with these sightings. Huge forest fires drove the cougars in closer to human habitats and the banning of hunting dogs led to an increase in population.

I live in Washington state and we only have a few thousand adults 🥺 I've lived here 34 years and never seen one in person. I've done a small amount of research on the subject and most agree the population is dwindling, not endangered but decreasing.

Well the DDT was Jake The Snake Roberts', among others, finishing move.

Thanks for the suggestion but i don't know too much about dinosaurs so i wouldn't feel comfortable enough making a video on them but Ben G Thomas does similar videos to the one you suggested so i recomend checking his channel out if you haven't already

@@TsukiCove I do watch Ben G Thomas, and his videos are very good. But it is a shame you do not feel comfortable with dinosaurs, Some times people learning about animals for the first times, or reaction videos can be enjoyable. Nonetheless thank you for the content you do make. Half the reason I listen to your videos is that wonderful soothing intro music.

The entire black footed ferret population descended from 7 individuals they recently made a clone from a non-related individual to increase diversity.

That would take a very long time to make but i will think about it :)

@@TsukiCove thanks I almost forgot do subspecies as well cave crocodiles

@@TsukiCove if u end up making it, i will be looking forward to it :D
