5 Problem Invasive Species In Hawaii

[@melvinshine9841]

Pokémon even pokes fun at how ineffectual the introduction of mongooses was to "control" rats in Hawaii. According to the Pokedex in the Pokémon Sun and Moon games, Yungoos and Gumshoos were introduced to the Alola region to combat the Rattata population, have Rattata as their favorite prey, and are found in all the sames areas you can find Rattata. Problem is, Yungoos and Gumshoos are diurnal, while Rattata and Raticate are nocturnal, so you never actually find both Pokémon in the same place at the same time.

[@TsukiCove]

You're very welcome :) Yeah there seems to be so many in Hawaii, the only reason I didn't include the boar or cats or deer is because I've featured them in other videos but it is a real shame as the ecosystem is so interesting over there

[@sammatsusaka823]

Yeah, Black Widow, Bul-Buls, Ring Neck Parakeet, Red Head Parrot (Big Island), (IDK) some flock at Kahala (Cromwell), Fire Ants, Poison Dart Frogs, Bengal Cats, Wolf Hybrid (Maui HMS), Black Bear, Mountain Lions, Night Anole (Channel 2 News/I believe) etc.

Yes. I agree Rhonda. The list is endless of invasive species in Hawaii. One day I will move back! Aloha!

Oceanic whitetip shark- Status: Critically Endangered 5. Angelshark-Status- Critically Endangered Would be cool to raise awerness of the most endangered. Love your vids BTW😊

well if he did, he would have to talk about the long lines set by China, Korea, Spain, Italy, and other countries and it would surely be demonitized if not banned. Some of the long lines have 15,000 hooks and are 40 km in length. As a side note, recreational fishermen tag most of the sharks and most of the tag returns come from commercial fisherman. For small coastal sharks in the Atlantic, it is habitat destruction and pollution that most affects recruitment for the brown shark and sand tiger shark.

Feral cats are out of control here in Hawaii as well. Also the poisonous cane toad eats our endemic damsel flies and poisons our pets.

The best time to look for those jackson or veiled chameleons is at night. They are slightly brighter than the leaves of the trees when illuminated with a strong flashlight. It can take a while to notice the difference in brightness and hue of the greens but once you can tell the difference they can be caught. The veiled ones will hiss at you when trying to catch them, the jacksons are much less intimidating.

Interestingly, the Mongoose is probably the reason why the Brown Tree Snakes will never truly become established on the Islands. We have plenty of Mongoose on the reserve where I work, but honestly Cats are much worse because instead of just poaching eggs they'll hunt large amounts of adult birds, often solely for sport.

[@tadblackington1676]

Hawaii is the perfect example of the irony of invasive species. It is a global hotspot for endemism, for the number and variety of invasive species and for the number of extinctions caused by humans and the organisms they brought with them. The irony is that Hawaii is vastly more biodiverse now than at any time in its existance in terms of genera, families, orders and classes. Also all the "native" species of Hawaii are just other invasive species that have been there longer.

[@ianmyers143]

Invasive means human introduced. If a species of bird migrates there on its own will, it's not invasive. If a snake gets blown out to sea and lands on an island, it's not invasive (look up bothrops insularis)

[@tadblackington1676]

@@ianmyers143 You are making a distinction with no difference. Ecology doesn't care whether an organism floats to an island on a log or whether people import it. The same rules apply,, if there is an ecological niche for the organism iit will become invasive. And over time a unique native species.

[@ianmyers143]

@@tadblackington1676 no the definition of an invasive species is a human introduced species. An invasive species cannot become native because they decimate wildlife and destroy ecosystems. Cats are the leading cause of bird mortalities in the us. Nothing kills more birds than cats and they kill for fun. That's the epitome of an invasive species. We brought them out of Egypt and Mesopotamia where they are native to and introduced them to new ecosystems. A hurricane didn't bring them here, people did.

[@tadblackington1676]

@@ianmyers143 You are making a distinction where there is no difference. Take the Great American Interchange as an example. A couple of million years ago the isthmus of Panama finally closed and linked the island continent of South America to the Africa-Eurasian connected North America. The biotas mixed and waves of extinctions swept up and down the continents. But both continents ended up more biodiverse than they had been before. Hawaii is absolutely an example of the same phenomena.
