5 Popular Pets That Are Threatened In The Wild

[@wishbone346]

It's sad that crested geckos are threatened in the wild, but at least they're thriving quite well in the pet trade. They're extremely easy to breed and make amazing pets.

[@Soul_evacuated_Ian]

Hope this channel can spread the news on threatened and endangered animals!Best hopes to you!

[@TsukiCove]

Thanks Ian i appreciate it and i will do my best :)

[@thegamingpuppet8381]

Well we gotta make it become a big channel

[@harrymoon8154]

@@TsukiCove I got a animal for you the Galapagos tortoises

[@ScottParisi]

Always informative. Can never get enough of seeing what the animals eat in your animations.

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

Fun fact. The red-tailed black shark is actually extinct in the wild. The specimens we commonly see in pet stores are all collected from farms. This is the same case with many rare livebearer(fish that make babies, not eggs) species.

[@Annie_Annie__]

It was thought to be extinct but some *very* localized populations have been found in Thailand in the past few years. It’s amazing because aquarium trade redtails are too far removed from their wild ancestors to be released in to the wild to increase their numbers. So it’s possible these tiny wild populations could be used in breeding programs and reintroduced to rivers where they are now extinct.

[@avidhossanmansur9830]

@@Annie_Annie__ Thanks, I didn't know that. I thought they were extinct entirely.

[@DanRemdor]

@@avidhossanmansur9830 same with the black soft shell turtle... It was extinct in the wild but it's species was thriving in a temple in assam.. When organizations found about it, they started breeding them and release some specimens in the wild...

[@JPsPetNation]

@@Annie_Annie__ very interesting information .. yer I agree the captivity bred ones are not going to help the wild numbers

[@kasperkjrsgaard1447]

The fish you mentions are very easy to breed and it’s highly doubtful that they’re catched in the wild for the fish trade. 99% of the species disappearing are due to loss of habitats and pollution.

[@rhydianwilliams887]

I agree I recently bought 12 white cloud mountain minnows and they were incredibly cheap like £1 each so doubt there that rare

[@daltonparker7792]

The easy answer to that is that they would be caught in the wild on the other side of the planet… and just because you can buy them for cheap, doesn’t mean they aren’t endangered. And thirdly, don’t try to justify human destruction by saying that it isn’t the pet trade that is responsible.

[@-theguiltycormorant-1043]

Hello tsuki ! I hope u can make a "Top 5 endangered species in ..." Much love...you are truly a good channel

[@TsukiCove]

[@eureka3112]

Good content tsuki! might add owls on the list tho cus sometimes ppl buy them to look like harry potter, but they kept them in cages and feed them worms and bugs causing their eyes to have cataracts

[@Annie_Annie__]

I hate it when KZbin recommends videos of owls that are obviously being kept as pets. It breaks my heart. Owls make horrible pets and shouldn’t be kept in houses or apartments. Especially not because it makes “cute” KZbin videos. I try to avoid those as much as possible but the algorithm doesn’t seem to get the message.

[@WEYffles]

@@Annie_Annie__ if you dislike the videos KZbin stops recommending related content

[@herpermike_]

Also it's crazy to think that sulcata tortoises are endangered in the wild and so common in captivity!

[@russellwhitmyer6764]

How about the Endler guppy? I also understand that many popular live bearers are not doing so well in the wild mostly do to habitat loss. Another group are the different wild species of Bettas becoming criticaly endangered because of habitat loss. How about fish who's best chance of survival is with hobbyist breeding efforts?

[@apss5736]

like the tequila splitfin

[@nicolasannawn5715]

I can talk about crested with details, knowing one of the first guys to have bred them from the original stock. When rediscovered they became interesting for some labs in germany. Over, time 2 bunch of 200 were collected. From that group, 80 ended up being sold to 4 persons, included my dear diceased frend Hervé Saint-dizier. They never imagine, except from Repashy at that time, they would be so successful in breeding them, and that they would have ended up being many nowadays. Unfortunately, they have lost a lot of their wild behavior, they are way more defensive usually. Being eaten by larger species of rachodactylus. Some babies of the original group are sometimes sold, at high price, they have become rare and very few people have them and kept them not inbred. With time the species shows more health issues, coming from a small group of more or less related individual. This made the illegally collected ones (since no official collecting is authorized), very pricy. To the point japanese and chinese people have being caught poaching them. With a japanese man starting a fire by accident, burning a portion of their habitat in 2017 if I remember well.

[@marcelloplessi9299]

True, if we still have them around nowadays as one of the most popular pet lizards is thanks to the all the breeding efforts that have been made. Breeding basically avoided their extinction. I think the same goes for axolotls.

Hopefully This Channel Will Help In Spreading Awareness For Endangered Species

[@rubengoncalves293]

Fun fact. I knew an old couple before they died from age. They were friends with my grandma and my deceased grandpa. This old couple had this parrot for over 60 years old. It knew how to speak Portuguese fluently and even could have full on complex conversation in Portuguese. If a toddler Can speak to you So can an African grey. It also loved watching soccer especially when Barcelona or Portugal was playing. It would start cursing the other team when they won or scored against Portugal and would even do more so when Portugal scored after this. It was hilarious. The parrot died five years ago and the couple 3 years ago.

[@apss5736]

this channel is so underrated

[@DimondCompanions]

African grey, Timneh grey, sun conures, java sparrows are the most common birds in pet trade but endangered in wild

[@trapjaw86]

Never knew the cherry barbs were listed as that I've been breeding those for years

[@howdoyouturnthison7827]

Umbrella Cockatoos are also endangered. They are habitat effected by massive deforestation for palm oil plantation in Indonesia.

[@lucasroman6510]

There is also a positive side on the pet trade, like the fact that captive breed crested geckos and axolotls outnumber the wild ones in nature Wich helps keep the species alive, the problem is when people don't get captive bred pets, but wild ones Wich harms the species and animal, as they may be incredibly stressed and may have parasites

[@michaelanderson5747]

I heard the Eastern Red Eared Slider terrapin (USA) was threatened because of invasive Asian Red Eared Sliders, collection for pet trade and habitat loss. Is this true and if so, I would like to hear about your findings.

[@TsukiCove]

I think they have quite a healthy population in the wild despite the problems they're facing and as i've covered before there are plenty in other countries.

[@mariamhernandez3377]

Hey all hey TSUKI hope you and Arnie are doing fabulous on this wonderful Saturday!! two of my favorite animals 😍 on this list cherry barbs and the axolotl (although all of the animals on this list are beauties ❤️💯!!) Also the Denison barb that's a beautiful fish and one of my favorites is also unfortunately and danger in the wild not so many left... So sad to think that these animals on your list God forbid won't be around too long unfortunately such a shame!!! Evil humans. Anyways t. thank you for touching on this particular subject!! Great 👍❤️ job hopefully enough people can see this and we can all do our part and helping out these poor creatures!!! As always give Arnie a chin scratch for me!!!!!

[@alloislife8493]

I live in Sri Lanka a city named Jaffna to be exact and about 3 years ago I went to a trip to badulla which is located in the middle of Sri Lanka and there was small stream near where I lived and there was a couple of cherry barbs now I didn't realize that it's vulnerable so I got confused why you shouldn't kill or take this fish and then I looked it up and then I realized I was an idiot So that's my first and only wild encounter with the cherry barb

[@TsukiCove]

The captive bred specimens are usually more expensive so people buy them wild caught

[@petfauna1445]

Wildlife Pet trade is bad and dark no doubt but for many animals being a pet means survival of the species as deforestation and other factors are are depleting their natural ranges.And many scientists, animal experts including the great David Attenborough believe that it could save many species from extinction of done legally with certain rules and regulation.

Make a video about snakehead plss.... :)

[@solitudeguard2316]

[@buckybarns5984]

Why not introduce these critically endangered animals in areas where they could thrive but still be controlled by other native animals? The grey macaw could easily get an established population in the South American rain forest, the axolotl could have a recovering population in the clear rivers of Greece, the cherry barb could easily be repopulate in Cambodia or Laos, the crested geckos could literally be moved to any pacific island with trees, and the cloud minnow can be established in many freshwaters in the United States

[@djwick1189]

[@rmconnelly5]

Don't worry, the geckos you would be able to get are definitely captive bred, you would probably know about and pay a ton for a wild caught one.

[@wishbone346]

Like the other guy said the ones you'll find in the pet trade are captive bred individuals. I highly recommend getting one, especially if you're a first time reptile owner. Crested geckos are by far one of the best beginner pets and even great for experienced keepers. If you'd like to know more about their care and whatnot I highly suggest watching Clint's Reptiles video on crested geckos as a place to start.

[@kendallkahl8725]

When it comes to exotic pets the only people that should get them from the wild are people trying to breed them and regular costumers should only be able to purchase captive bred animals. To qualify as a breeder the person should show success with similar species first.
