As an Aussie, it’s so painful to have so many invasive species. Rabbits and Toads are in crazy amounts. Hell, we even have camels!

[@legallyblind393]

Deers, Pigs, Cats, Rabbits, Hares, Camels, Horses, Toads, Carp, Foxes, Camels, Rats, Mice, Buffalo, Donkeys, Trout and Indian Minors just to name a few 😅 it’s tough being an aussie

[@hotepsalam]

Id say the Europeans are by far the worst invasive species in Australia

[@dariusbrock2351]

That's s lot and I guess it doesn't help that Australia has a moderate climate and doesn't get really cold to stop the advancement of those animals.

Did you know to humans and apes the male Sydney funnel web spider is fatal, females lose their toxicity during breeding season. But to dogs and cats it's nothing worse than pain from the bite with immunity to the venom. Strange but true.

I didn't realize that the brown trout was invasive to Canada and Alberta before watching this clip. I just found out that brown trout was introduced to the Red Deer River in Alberta in 1924.

[@NightwingGR1]

As an angler, I'm torn(a little). Brown trout are great sport and great to eat, but they are largely responsible for the loss of our native grayling here in Michigan, which were a unique isolated subspecies of the arctic grayling and the southernmost one on Earth!

There's a fact you got awfully wrong. The decline of Iberian rabbits was nothing to do with predation by lynx and eagles, but by the outbreaks of myxomathosis in the 80s, a period which ironically had also a huge decline in both predator species, to the point of risking extinction. The rabbit being predated on is a basic fact of the ecosystem, most predators (let's add the Iberian wolf, foxes, mustelids, viverrids, a ton of different hawks and other three species of eagle) have had the rabbit as a staple food for millennia.

As an American, I'm extremely annoyed by the presence of House Sparrows and European Starlings. They were both introduced by British expats in the late 19th Century and are now among the most common birds in the US. I really, really hate them as they drove bluebirds, creepers, and many other native species deep into the woods.

Sheep were introduced to AUS and they have overgrazed and destroyed millions of acres. Camels don't damage the grazing lands, nor do the African antelope.

[@FromTheGong]

As a former sheep farmer I have to agree. Sheep do not belong in environment and are not suitable for our climate. I've seen how they are treated and what's done to them and I've watched them drop in bare paddocks with no trees in 40° plus day after day. I've also seen how a dingo dies after eating 1080 poison baits that litter the bush and national parks after aerial baiting. It's definitely a slow torturous hideous death, you never forget it. Plus it does kill native animals and birds unlike its promoted. I've seen the affects and damage done by removing Dingoes and broad scale land clearing once the roos goats foxes cats and rabbits take over. Becomes a desert with hordes of roos striping the land bare then starving. The 2000 drought showed me more than enough proof of that and I had to just drive away with me and my two dogs. Left everything else behind once the sheep were all gone. Sheep farming is nothing but cruelty and sheep country is dead country.

[@FromTheGong]

Did reply and agree but youtube in their wisdom somehow blocked it, and this.

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

But sheep are more valuable than camels in Aussie so they're protected. Perhaps the management of the sheep should be changed to preventing overgrazing

[@anniehill9909]

Living in New Zealand, it's incredibly hard to try and control the predators that assault our native wildlife and one of the problems is that people don't think that plants are predated, which of course they are, not only by deer, but feral goats, wild pigs, taur, rabbits, hares - the list goes on and on. The finches you mentioned are the least of our problems: they only eat seeds from introduced plants, so don't compete with the natives. Conservationists also have to work with Fish and Game, and while they do great work supporting clean water programmes, they also insist that having brown trout, deer, pigs, etc is a Good Thing so that people can hunt. They make a big deal out of the fact that they can provide 'high quality protein' for their families, as though that's more important than having native animals live their lives in peace. I doubt there are many people in this country who are so poor that they have to hunt to survive (especially when you think how much they spend on their gear and transport!!). Your comments that maybe we can learn, or that native animals will be able to prosper are definitely based on hope rather than experence!

[@mishagaming2800]

Would you say that you guys in New Zealand have the least dangerous native animals in the world? I heard that the only native animals you have in New Zealand is flightless birds.

[@mishagaming2800]

Also in the UK we are getting a wildlife reintroduction of Eurasian Lynx, Bears, Wolves, Bison, Moose, and Scottish Wildcats. They are actually native to the UK but sadly were hunted to the point where they weren't in our country anymore. (Which is why they're being reintroduced within the next few years). Are you doing anything similar to that in New Zealand?

A local urban legend puts the presence of the Indian Mynah bird in Hawaii on a big time family originally from India. (Another "just like home" urge scratched?)

[@royhay5741]

A subspecies of wild boar called the Papuan hog (Sus scrofa papuensis) is endemic to Irian Jaya, Papua New Guinea, and Australia (QLD, NSW, and ACT). They've inhabited New Guinea for 6,000 to 12,000 years. It's unknown when Papuans and Torres Strait Islanders introduced them to Australia in exchange for dingoes and agile wallabies, but it was probably at least 2,100 years ago based on when dingoes got to the Torres Strait Islands.

Delighted to see trout on a problem invasive species list. Often left off.

[@Caliber-R]

In the United States, wild mustangs roam the North American prairies and sage flats. These horses, while technically feral, have evolved to thrive in this environment, which historically supported large hoofed animals. The horse is native to this region, with the exception of a few thousand years when it seems to have been absent. There is evidence from a horse tooth dating back 3,000 years (roughly) found in northern or central Mexico. It's important to manage the population of these horses, whether they are considered native or not.

Even though this is true, the coming european settlers in the indian subcontinent lead to some of the countries first ever wildlife preservations. As most of the hunts were carried out by kings and royal families and these hunts were greatly increased to a point under british rule were both royal families and rich foreign personals were getting into hunts to a point were most species were going down in numbers in astonishing rates and this lead to few britishers and other settlers to start spreading awareness programs and even preserving species. I mean thats how indians lost their cheetah's in first place. Also it is believed certain trouts were inteoduced to indian waters when they were trading with roman empires, kinda mixed fact but still felt like giving this comment.

You would *never* start a video with "polynesians have been a bit of a menace for the past 1000 years" and then start reading a list of animals they have driven to extinction, from the moa, to the giant new zealand gecko to various species of birds that were once inhabiting the hawaiian islands. And don't get me started on the entire ecosystem of Easter Island. Throughout history europeans were by no means the only ones who made things worse for the natural world.
