5 Reasons Why We Don't Relocate Endangered Species

[@Redneckkratos]

12:59 the reason why we don’t relocate the Arnie into a different ecosystem is that…… well we wouldn’t want the new place turning into a desolate wasteland……

[@TsukiCove]

Exactly, it would be irresponsible haha

@TsukiCove, I will agree with the reasons in this video, but one endangered species relocation I would like to see is komodo dragons being relocated to a national park in Australia as a proxy for its extinct relative, the megalania.

[@chancegivens9390]

The hell would it eat?.... oh, guess it's there's a few things. Roos n shit.

[@anserbauer309]

Definitely not. Megalania went extinct for a reason. Most likely because the megafuna it ate all went extinct too.

[@MatthewTheWanderer]

@@chancegivens9390 There are plenty of large herbivores in Australia now, including some that are invasive species.

I absolutely hate the invasive mongoose‘s in Hawaii. while my car was in storage when I was deployed Afghanistan, a couple mongoose got up underneath my car and did almost $10,000 of damage to my BMW Z4

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Lmao theyre sent there for hunting down rats and mice population that becoming uncontrolled. The problem is mongoose doesnt make situation any better as it also eating naive birds which dont know such kind of predator and how to defends itself from it.

[@edi9892]

I'd like to see a video on temperature extremes animals can handle. Tigers for instance are found over a wide climatic range, or at least used to be found... This raises the question what makes some animals more successful in that aspect...

[@markp.7345]

As always, very interesting video! I'm curious: What's your background? How do you have so much knowledge? Thanks for the creative subjects!

[@snolls105]

The closest middle ground I can think of is making sure to collect good samples of the DNA of endangered species so that if they go extinct, we'll have a solid library for future cloning projects. Not that cloning is the solution per say, but it seems useful to prepare ahead of time, even if the technology isn't entirely there yet? But introducing them into new territories just sounds like a strange and bad idea. Like, it's too unpredictable and resource intensive to be useful outside of extreme exceptions.

[@edwincheung4995]

I remember a while back, Tasmania tried to relocate tassie devils and the ending result was the local seabird population went down hill and the little penguins got the worst of it

[@competitionglen]

To be fair, little penguins are delicious 😢

I've always wanted to see Tigers roaming around Africa

[@lightzilla8421]

Hello tsuki i love watching your videos and always learning something new about these amazing creatures of our planet and how much we need to save them before they are lost for good. But if you didn't know couple years ago the Indian government had reintroduced several African cheetahs into India and I think it would be an interesting topic for a future video on your channel

[@YeeSoest]

3:43 I had money on lane 4, how dare u cut away before the finish line😅

[@skysthelimitvideos]

I think that it’s an extreme strategy that has potential in controlled circumstances. You gotta be able to keep species contained but I think it is actually something that’s worth exploring despite your valid arguments against it especially when you throw in concepts like Pleistocene Rewilding as well.

[@rayabraham3349]

Dude is that you doing the guitar solo at the end?. Because if so. Chur neat alright bei😉👍

[@edi9892]

The one thing that speaks for relocation is that it increases the chances of survival of the species, as now the population is split and it's highly unlikely that they're all affected equally. Also, some native ranges are a lost cause because of the humans there...

[@1legend517]

Another reason is the possibility of diseases. Both introducing new diseases to their new ranges from their former range, and/or contracting new diseases in their new ranges.

[@andreglenn74]

Rewilding is the answer

[@AnimalsVehiclesAndMore]

Can you do a video about 5 reasons why we should or shouldn't clone extinct animals and bring them back? I would love to see a video about that, as there are quite a number of extinct species that I'd like to see be cloned and brought back. I also thought it'd be nice to year your opinions on that.

[@GODZILLA2915]

Would probably end up being a list of ‘current complications’ with cloning itself.

[@robrice7246]

What about endangered species that are relocated to former parts of their native range through conservation measures, would the same issues occur or not?

[@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434]

Maybe not. The issue was more from local human population which probably will hunted down it again to dangerously low level just like in the past, because the animals are regarded as pest, sonething dangerous, or just for profit

[@SonLucasX]

Despite all the aggravating factors and obstacles, I still believe that relocating animals is one of the solutions to saving several species. However, before thinking about relocating, we must invest all the money in preserving native species and restoring lands with native ecosystems that were destroyed for plantations and agriculture.

[@jancyvargheese5351]

Bro, I laughed out hard when you said “just like Escobar” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lightningboltt5437]

Tsuki, could you do a video on how feral hogs are by FAR the worst invasive species in the Florida evergaldes

[@dawnsiso9634]

5:39

[@1legend517]

I thought about this with relocating polar bears to Antarctica. They would wipe out native penguin and seal populations there who have never evolved alongside a giant land carnivore. That's if they survive well there, and I'm sure they would, but there are no guarantees.

[@JwaEditz]

Long story short: Relocating them is expensive and they might become invasive.

[@peterllwlln]

Can they release capacity tigers in America to control the human poppalation.

[@Treeplanter73]

Fun fact, African and Asian ungulates are in the wild in N.America and are doing well.

[@michaelhowell2326]

If a species finds a way to naturally relocate, are they invasive then? Such as an animal being stranded on a natural raft and landing somewhere it thrives.

[@rahjah6958]

9:53 im no farmer so my opinion dont really mean anything but i feel that issue could be solved via better governance, they dont try to stop newcommers attacking people so why would they protect sheep

[@InvisibleMongoose]

I still see no good reason why Asiatic lions haven't already been reintroduced elsewhere in India, outside of Gir National Park.

[@juliesheehan41]

The population is still too small so they want to keep them together

[@InvisibleMongoose]

@@juliesheehan41 The real reason is that the Gujarat government wants their state to be the only place in India with lions, it's really stupid. Even then something could be done, cubs born in zoos could be raised to be released in the wild like it's been done with tigers. In Gir only they are at a great risk of inbreeding or being wiped out by an epidemic, I think that at this point there should be at least different populations in India with wildlife corridors connecting them, or they should be reintroduced elsewhere in their former range, Iran is possibly a good candidate.

[@aaaydenwetsell]

4:06 it could?

[@aaaydenwetsell]

also did you know that they already did a translocation of the guam kingfisher to palmyra atoll afew weeks ago?

[@sagittariusneptune9330]

I know this sounds blunt but some species aren't worth saving. And worst case scenario just introduce a cousin/similar animal to fill its niche. Technically horses aren't suppose in America since last ice age, and now their staple part of american southwest they basically filled a vacant niche. Camels released in the southwest started eating thorns and cacti like nothing, come to find out camels lived in america millions of years ago. Indian rhino, Orangutan, Japanese Macaque, River Dolphins, and Ostrich I can see surviving America wilderness.

[@tobiasedwards2643]

You should make a video talking about the reintroduction of cheetahs to India.

[@kagehikari4281]

Should also talk about why we do not take captive raised animals, particularly wild caught imports, back to there "natural home". Or for the lay, why you cant put back your toucan taken from the wild back to the wild.-though partially touched on here with the quole. And why you can not take your captive bread occolot that is NOT wild, and put it where they live in the wild. Animals in captivity need to STAY in captivity unless in a program specifically for re wilding and rehab. But theres SOOOO much more regarding that. Why people that breed tigers touting "conservation" are TRASH and thoes animals will NEVER be acceptable and contribute to NOTHING, therefore, thoes back yard breeders are scammers. Scary how so much of the general population is so uninformed about it.

[@johntodd3910]

This is very worrying And we shouldn’t introduce large mammals that don’t belong in one certain landscape Also what would happen if we introduce olive baboons to like Costa Rica and would they have negative effects on the native monkeys

[@Slth85]

How about they put endangered predators into ecosystems that need an apex predator to maintain balance

[@matthewwelsh294]

Like what happened in Yellowstone

[@kishensookoo7815]

One of the main reasons humans need to relocate animals is because if humans

[@darienwithers2033]

I agree with everyrhing except parts of no.2. I hate when people say playing god. If we can relocate animals who are endangered to new ecosystems with rhem negatively effective the native species, then I say go for it. And if it leads to a new species evolving, then that part thier evolution to adapt.
