Nile crocodiles in Florida?! Crazy! There should be a tougher laws for the pet trade! Not every animal can be a pet! Pet owners should be responsible.

You need a permit to own any croc or gator but the problem is illegal pet trade owners legal ones get surprise vists if they lose a animal they get they're permit revoked and could face jail time but illegal pet trade owners dont gotta worry about that not saying legal pet owners dont let go of invasive species but compared to illegal pet owners its rare Like always the bad ruins it for good ppl

[@martykitson3442]

in their native habitat mongoose prey on snakes, so it makes sense they would target reptiles and it's fortunate the ones they target in this case are also invasive. I'm surprised the Japanese haven't picked up on the fact that American bull frogs are food. the signal crayfish is another one that the environment would benefit from people learning they taste good when cooked properly

[@andrewsmallacombe9468]

Bullfrogs were imported into Japan, specifically as food (admittedly mostly for the export market) Moreover, American crayfish were imported at the same time as food for the bullfrogs. So Japan ended up with TWO dreadful invasive species.

[@PuffPiastri]

Mr. Tsuki, I absolutely love your videos. I searched on Google for countries with the least amount of invasive species, but couldn’t find anything, only “most”.. Not sure if you’ve done a video on countries with the least, but it would be cool to know

Lol a lot of stuff you mentioned as I was thinking it. Some Australian birds like egrets and herons are also eating toads and avoiding the glands. I've read that some monitor species are starting to develop a tolerance to the toxins, and native qoulls are being trained to avoid toads by bejng poisoned with toad meat and something to make them feel sick. That's three different ways nature is adapting to cane toads in Australia, I'm guessing there's more :)

Invasive species are an interesting case. I feel that if they are not too damaging, and given enough time, a native species could adapt to predate it without the need of another invasive species. There's always a bigger fish, after all

[@TsukiCove]

Invasive species are one of the leading causes of extinctions worldwide, i think that's quite damaging but i get where you're coming from

[@tonybezanson9625]

That's where the term "naturalized " comes in. Non native plants and animals that have found a niche and don't directly compete with the natives

[@laurencewinch-furness9450]

Often, the problem with invasive species isn't so much the species as the fact that the native ecosystem is too disrupted to handle them. Grey squirrels in the UK are a good example. Pine martens are very good at controlling grey squirrel populations, but unfortunately, human hunting wiped out the Pine martens outside of Scotland.

[@arkprice79]

@Tsuki, I have a question for you Does the endangered Florida Panthers help in controlling some of the invasive species in Florida?

[@JA-gx4hb]

Not really, Panthers love to eat mammals. Pythons are wiping out most of the mammals. Panthers were/are barely hanging on. They'll be gone soon.

[@AncientWildTV]

its impact on invasive species is kinda limited due to its diet and the current state of its population. Florida panthers primarily prey on native species like white-tailed deer, wild hogs, and various small mammals. While wild hogs are considered invasive and can be problematic for the ecosystem, panthers do not necessarily control their populations to a significant extent

[@lightningboltt5437]

Do you guys think given enough time , invasive species may eventually adapt to and become indigenous to native ecosystems

[@benallen7704]

It happens. For example, the common carp is considered "naturalized" in North America

[@Dazzalingfossil6040]

It also happened with the dingo. Their ancestors were brought to Australia from Asia by the early humans and now the dingo is found nowhere else sense it's found only in Australia so in the future it could happen with foxes and cats as well. So I hope Australia keeps the native species around long enough for that to happen and also long enough for the native species to adapt to them.

[@JA-gx4hb]

You need to look up the definition of indigenous.

[@alexismartinez8343]

Hi 👋🏻 Tsuki I have an interesting 🤔 idea 💡 for your potential video? Since you talk about invasive species list, how about a video 📹 about American native insects that fight against invasive insects? My personal favorite American insect would be the praying mantis preying on invasive spotted lanternflies. These spotted lanternflies damaging towards trees 🌳 and fruit crops in the East Coast. They got here in America due to accidental shipment from Asia 🌏 and they were spotted in Pennsylvania since 2014. Praying mantises are keeping their numbers under control. I haven't seen a single lanternfly since my garden is filled with praying mantises. If praying mantises weren't here, the invasion of spotted lanternflies could've been much worse. We should be thankful that praying mantises are here. 🙏🏻

Because they don't. Female pythons coil around their eggs to incubate and protect them. Just look at any of Jay Brewer's videos on KZbin where he tries to get eggs from his reticulated pythons. Only idiots think he is provoking the snake to strike, not realizing that yes, female pythons (no matter the species) WILL protect their eggs,

Climate. Those animals can't live in MN or UT. But FL is semi-tropical and very wet. There's your answer.

I love your videos. Cats are blamed for the majority of native animal deaths in Australia. So I would argue they effect the ecosystem more than foxes and rabbits combined.

Tegus in Florida are not mostly from escaped pets. Hurricanes decimated several reptile breeding facilities over the years. Most are descendants of those escapees. The same is true of many other invasive reptiles in Florida, including Burmese pythons. It's a small but important distinction, because blaming pet owners is not accurate.

[@myopinionsmayoffendyou]

No such thing as invasive, some animals own adaptation and evolution has meant they have been able to co exist and live with humans. All animals naturally expand territory, using another organism is a very common method. Even when it's pet and zoo escapes, they just get lucky their selves, their offspring adapt naturally to the new their environment. The need to preserve perfectly is the most unnatural desire. Ecosystems are always changing. More species have gone extinct than exist today.
