@@lindadurrant43 totally THE most amazing animal, I was hoping to catch one last year when I was up in Edinburgh but it was the wrong time of year for haggis hunting
@@Passionfruitmartini Absolutely ,, the Mottled Haggis is very rare ,, ive only seen pictures of one myself . The Lesser Spotted is a bit more common and then you have the Common Haggis . Nothing makes me happier than to see a herd of Haggis frolicking in the summer sun.
I’m shocked that he didn’t know what animals are found in the US, especially alligators, bison, bald eagles and bears. I’m from the UK and knew of most of the animals mentioned
Tyler would have wet dreams if he knew. He feels safe in his little bubble. Don't tell him about the Wolverines. Or the fact that the States also has as many animals including bears, moose, elk, deer, alligaters, bugs, snakes, spiders and flora that can kill you just like Australia.
I lived in the US and saw Cardinals (a bright red bird), box turtles (tortoise with a front door), snapping turtles (in lake), fireflies (who would respond with flashes when I flashed my front door lamp), jack rabbits (who would sleep on my front lawn), armadillos (in Florida), sea cows (in the Florida Keys) that you could pet, horseshoe crabs (also in Florida Keys), tree frogs (who talk to each other - rikikikik...), skunks,... Picnicking in the New Jersey woods we saw a mole that scuttled along, above ground, but hidden underneath the fallen leaves.
IT gives me the impression that he is more used to urban environs than getting out there into the wilds and discovering the natural wonders around him. Mind you, if you asked most modern teenagers,British or American, so hooked on their social media devices and games,then they'd be just as clueless?
i do volunteer driving for a wildlife rescue centre here in the UK and am always picking up injured hedgehogs, squirrels, various birds like the red kite and sparrow hawks and taking them to the centre to be cared for until they are fit to be released. its very rewarding but also I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to get so close to these special animals. I have videoed some of them on my TikTok. Most of them are so friendly its like they know you are trying to help them 🙂. I will do a TikTok soon of more animals now its spring time here in the UK now.
How do you feel about culling and especially the grey squirrel one . Personally I think it's disgusting. Poor animals are always treated like rubbish .
Last summer we had several hedgehogs in our garden. We put a hedgehog hotel under a large Bush and it was used several times. Our small poodle didn't like them coming into " her" garden and barked at them, and couldn't understand why they rolled into a ball until she went away. I took some great photos of them rummaging around in the undergrowth.
@@juliecobbina2024 I understand that Pine Martins are making a comeback in some places. They kill squirrels. They prefer the greys because they're easier to catch.
@@robcrossgrove7927Pine Martens in Ireland were down to a small area of east Co. Clare but in the last 30 years have spread back all over the island again mainly due to reforestation. As they’ve spread, the red squirrel has also spread and taken back territory from the grey squirrel. There hasn’t been any human culling of the greys apart from in Northern Ireland but the pine marten is far more effective in re-establishing red squirrels than trying to trap grey squirrels.
He didn't know about moose either! Beggars belief! I find a lot of these reaction people don't seem to look at the information they have and make deductions from it.
He kind of blamed his not knowing these animals on the fact that he hasn't seen many (if any) of these animals in the area(s) where he has lived. So, like most Americans I've had exposure to, he knows only what he has experienced and, if he hasn't experienced it, then it must not be common. I assure you that, in many states, some of these animals are quite common.
The video missed out pine martins, which are like ferrets, Weasel & stoats which are similarly in the weasel family, hares (like large rabbits). There are otters & water voles in river, & Beaver have been re-introduced to help control flood in place. The American grey squirrel has taken over leading to the near extinction of the native red squirrel (by desease). There are numerous types of deer, some of which are introduced & some native. They are very common almost everywhere in the countryside. Red foxes are also common & many live in towns & cities because food & shelter is easy to find. Wild boars have been brought back to farm but have escaped so several groups now breed in the wild. The American mink is another escapee, from fir farms, that is now wild in the UK. European bison are being brought back, & even linx & wolves are suggested for some areas. The is an attempt to re-wild especially remote areas, but with some opposition from farmers etc.
The red squirrel has successfully been reintroduced into some areas of the UK by a breeding program that is carefully managed by the animal welfare society on Brownsea island in Poole Harbour. There are in fact a few breeding pairs near me in North Hertfordshire if you know where to look and are patient.
I live in the 2nd largest city in England, which is Birmingham. I have foxes at the end of my garden which is near a train track, wooded area and river. There's foxes, herons, badgers, hedgehogs, woodpeckers, kestrels, slow worms, squirrels, muntjac deer, mice, rats, frogs, ducks, moorhens, voles etc. This just about 3-4 miles from the main city centre.
I have badgers, hedgehogs, robins and pheasants living in my garden. See them all regularly, as I put food out for them. Got rabbits, deer, foxes and moles about too
@@madoldbatwoman I guess the decline of hedgehog numbers is due to folk putting down slug pellets in their beautifully ornate gardens, which go on to kill the hedgehogs. I've just let nature take over my garden and it's now a bit of a wildlife sanctuary. I'm the only person in the whole street to have trees and hedges
@Eluned Laine, I envy you. I used to have 2 hedgehogs visiting the very "natural" (unkempt) garden of the house I once lived in. Their snuffling was so noisy it would wake me up, then I'd stay at the window to watch them. There was a little copse of tall trees and lush undergrowth, outside my last flat, where there were rabbits, squirrels, an assortment of birds (including an owl) and foxes. I hated the damp flat but loved its location! I tried to persuade my neighbour to not feed one little fox every evening, but he wouldn't listen. It's okay to occasionally feed, as long as it's neither often nor regular, so they don't lose out on their usual hunting or foraging spots, or become dependent upon you, or even get too confident around other humans. The only dead fox I ever saw near that last flat was the little one that had become too tame and too reliant on my neighbour's feeding. It seems like a kindness, but it's not really in the animals' best interests. He was really sad about the fox and said that he'd follow (RSPCA) guidance next time. Obviously, it might not have been due to him feeding her that she had been attacked, but it is a possibility. Occasionally supplementing animals' diets and feeding garden birds, especially in winter as long as it's suitable for that animal, is good and will encourage them to come back, just on the off chance!
When I was a teenager and getting drunk every weekend I was once on my staggering way home and I literally stumbled upon a hedgehog and drunkenly decided to take it home with me and it sat in my hand quietly, probably scared to death, all the way there. I took it up the stairs to my bedroom and put it in a cardboard box and went to bed. About half an hour later I was woken up by a thump thump thump on the stairs outside my room and when I managed to get up and go see what it was I saw the box was empty and the hedgehog was at the bottom of the stairs trying to get out of the front door! Nobody can ever tell me hedgehogs are spineless creatures!
As a British person, I can confirm that foxes and hedgehogs are in fact, the coolest things ever. They're usually super chill around people unless threatened and foxes are pretty intelligent
I live in rural UK and the only animals we have to worry about are adders in the summer, more so dogs getting bitten and wild boar. We have been charged a few times by wild boar.
They’ve re-introduced wolves, beavers, bison and boars back into the U.K. in recent years as well as many other animals that have gone extinct in the last couple of hundred years. Also something she didn’t mention was red squirrels which are super pretty, and super common near me
Red Squirrels are common near you? I really miss the days before the American Grey Tree-Rats colonised my area. 😢 I hope the Red Squirrels prosper over there.
We also have a surprisingly large parakeet population, at least in my area of London. Not uncommon to see 5+ of them on the tree in my garden at one time. It does make for an odd pairing when there's a pigeon with a parakeet
First time I saw one on my uni building I was stunned and genuinely thought it had just escaped. I had no idea that there was a growing population of them in London.
In 2005 I was coming home in my car after walking my dog when a black cat (panther/cougar) crossed the road 20feet in front of me, and ran through the fields at phenomenal speed . I didn't get a camera phone until 2010 but it was awesome to see in Wiltshire👍
I knew about all the US wild animals mentioned, (maybe not all the specific species of snake!). I'd say most people would associate all those animals with the US, especially the alligators in Florida, and the US bison are so famous and connected to its history!
Hedgehogs are so rare in the UK. I was saw one last year, I’ve only seen them at night. Foxes are very common and I’m so happy to hear beavers and cranes are being reintroduced. I love dogs so much
In the Isle of man we don't have snakes ,squirrels or foxes but we do have wallabies in the north of the island they started to breed in the wild after a couple escaped from a wildlife park.
Once they're introduced, wallabies get everywhere. There's an active campaign where I live in New Zealand to get rid of them after someone introduced a pair from Australia a few decades ago.
@@Fallopia5150 Not sure there is much they can do to stop wildlife getting on the course the noise of the bikes maybe keeps them away but you will be fined if you dog gets on the course
Isn't that because most Americans wrongly call (or used to call) it the "buffalo", to the extent that there's even a city called "Buffalo" in New York State and one of their heroes was "Buffalo Bill"?
The UK has not always an island. During the ice age, there was a land bridge that connected the UK to northern France/ Holland. It was called doggerland. This is how the UK got wolves, brown bears and deer. As we came out of the ice age. Around 12.000 years ago.The ice melted. Raising the sea level and turning the UK into an island.
@@daking912 apparently there is a beach in wales. When the tide goes out it reveals hundreds of tree stumps. These trees only grow in tropical climates. So we must of been as warm as the Caribbean at some point in the past 😊
@@rikmoran3963 That's a bit pedantic but, yes, you are right. For anyone that doesn't know, the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland which is a short distance from Great Britain across the Irish Sea. The term "Great Britain" only includes the three countries of England, Scotland and Wales which are connected by land.
Also the same as where I live on the Isle of Wight, as some 7,500 years ago (this age varies depending on which web site I look at) as the river Solent flooded separating us from Portsmouth and Southampton and the South coast, putting the Solent about 4 miles more or less between us and England....The Roman invasion named us Vectis, back in AD45 and stayed for some 400 years.
When it came to dangerous animals in the British Isles, she forgot to mention that a deer can kill you if you provoke it to use its antlers. The adder's poison is as deadly as a bee/wasp sting: Deadly in the way that an allergic person can get an anaphylactic shock. She only mentioned the black and polar bears as a dangerous one in the USA. Don't you have grizzlies as well?
Maybe she might mention Red Deer later, the largest UK land mammal, one doesn't want to get near the stags during the rutting season. We also have Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles as well as smaller birds of prey. Then there is the escaped and thriving Wild Boar, once native and even Wallabies not to mention the American Mink and the Grey Squirrel.
No picture of my favourite - the red squirrel with little tufts on his ears - really cute. The horrible grey squirrel (vermin) is wiping them out with a virus but some are found on Brownsea Island (where Lord Baden-Powell started the scouts) off the south coast of England. Others are found in the north of the country and in Scotland - in small little areas dotted about.
I will never forget 4 years ago when a badger ran towards me on a dark country path and I genuinely thought I was going to die. Once it got up close and saw me it ran away but I was terrified. Badgers are aggressive and many carry TB so there is a risk, but I think I was a bit too overdramatic 🤣
@@edreed9189 - Scottish Terriers were bred as the go to badger killer. They look cute but are deceptive, all muscle concrete blocks with huge teeth and one of the highest bite pressures of any dog. Their nickname is "The Die Hard" because if they get into a fight, something dies. I know. I've had 7 of them.
They want to reintroduce wolves and Lynx back into the Scottish Highlands. And we have the Great Golden Eagle that makes the Bald Eagle look like a pigeon. A fully grown male Golden Eagle can lift house cats.
I didn't realize they were such larger than bald eagles.. Unfortunately, bald eagles have flown off with pet dogs here in Western Canada. It is a very sad ending for a beloved pet.
here in Germany the wolf is making a comeback, mostly in the north and towards the polish border, where the population is quite thin. I think it is cool, when wildlife "finds a way", even though I have to admit that comes from someone who has never seen a wolf outside of a Zoo before.
A fully grown Golden Eagle can kill and transport medium sized dogs, lambs, Swans and Deer fawns, and even fully grown Muntjac Deer. Even a fat house cat doesn’t usually weigh more than ten pounds. There are bigger Eagles out there but not many.
The hedgehog is a protected species in the UK. It is actually illegal to take a wild hedgehog home to keep as a pet. If you see one that may be in danger, you have to contact the RSPCA. There is a species of hedgehog, however, that you can own as a pet. They are the Pygmy Hedgehog.
There are so many people that don’t seem to understand that European hedgehogs and African Pygmy hedgehogs are different 😂 I’ll be watching a cute video of a pet hedgie and I’ll go in the comments, and see morons saying the little fella needs to be in the wild!! It’s crazy :(
I went on a fabulous trip, visiting from the UK. We travelled through Wyoming to South Dakota visiting the Titon National Park and Yellowstone. The wildlife was amazing. Moose, many bison, some just sauntering down the road, a black bear. I was delighted to see chipmunks. I really recommend a road trip, it is amazing scenery too.
I used to have loads of pet hedgehogs when I was a kid! We have loads of birds you don't have in m the US including Golden eagle, and buzzards she missed off her list, there have been beavers re-introduced in Scotland. We also have the grey seal. One creature that can be deadly in the UK is the adder, this is a snake that can kill a small child or an old person with a weak heart, they are a venomous snake (it’s yellow and black, not like in the picture she shows). Been bitten a few times myself and it wasn't pleasant, an arm like a beer barrel, projectile vomiting and blood red eyes. She also forgot the wild boar. Oh and the Highland cow.
Adders are variable in colour, the pattern is the consistent part. They can be black, white, grey, green, yellow, tan, brown. The males tend to be silvery in colour while the females are shades of brown and green.
In London we have a large population of wild parakeets. I actually have a pair that use my flat’s ventilation duct as a nesting box having ripped the vent free of the brickwork. Never underestimate the destructive potential of birds, even brightly coloured ones.
Red kites used to be rare in the UK. Now there are many thousands of them in the the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire to the North and West of London after they were purposely re-introduced a couple of decades ago. Foxes are extremely common across the UK. I would expect to see at least one fox on every night time suburban journey of only a few miles across London.
In the city I live in I have crossed paths with several badgers that live in nearby gardens, they are pretty big stocky animals, and of course loads of urban foxes, who look gorgeous and can freak people out first time they hear them; as their calls in the night sound just like a small child screaming
Wolves from Canada were brought down to the US to repopulate them in Yellowstone. Ranchers weren't impressed but ALL animals serve a purpose and are necessary for a healthy ecosystem. The reintroduction of beavers in the UK also caused a flap but are now found to be beneficial in flood control. There used to be bears in the UK. Badgers can be very nasty and interestingly, the dog primarily bred to go into their dens and kill them was the Scottish Terrier (I have had 7 of them). Scotties look cute but are like concrete blocks with huge teeth. Thry call them "Die Hards". If they get in a fight something dies.
UK has six species of deer, two of which, I think, are native - red deer and roe deer. London has lots of foxes - several thousand, I think. She did not mention birds or aquatic life. Scotland has had some sea eagles reintroduced from Norway, but they have been taking lambs, not just fish. Locals call them 'the flying barn door' - (larger than a golden eagle).
she mentioned the Red Kite (A Bird) which a few years ago was nearly extinct here in the UK but by careful management of its breeding habitat and having it listed as an endangered species its not much more prolific and they are starting to be seen in lots of places they never were. She should also have mentioned the Sparrow Hawk which is also native to the UK.
Foxes are all over the UK, but they are usually nocturnal so people rarely see them. I love in the South West and they can be heard rummaging through bins at night and you might get to see one if you walk the streets, which I have on many occasions. Foxes are very common.
I get the feeling that birds will be in part 2. Since moving from the UK I miss a lot of the bird life that is specific to the country. I still remember lying in a field as a kid watching kestrels.
Technically three native deer, you could classify the current semi-wild Reindeer's of Scotland as native, as only 800 year ago there was native British Reindeer running free in Scotland.
I've seen plenty of badgers when cycling here in the UK, but they've always been rather flattened at the side of the road having had an unfortunate encounter with a car.
There are Bison in Southern England, they have been released to control the vegetation. There are also wild Boar anf there are wild Deer even in London
Where I used to live, which was a town on the outskirts of Manchester, I used to get squirrels, voles and hedgehogs in the back garden on a fairly regular basis. Also, the archery club I was a member of had fox and badger dens as well as rabbit warren's. We also had a kestrel once land in the middle of the field with a Pigeon it had just caught and proceeded to eat it.
@@jiggely_spears why does it sound cruel? The Archery Club was next to a park and bird sanctuary, and except for the Rabbits, you would very rarely see the Badgers or Foxes. j just realised you might be American, in the UK it is illegal for the general public to shoot animals.
In the UK, moles, water voles (formerly known as water rats), dormice, red squirrels, hares, otters, weasels, ferrets, stoats, shrews, bats, grey seals. Invasive species: coypu, mink, grey squirrel. The easiest way to think of British animals is through children's books: "The Wind in the Willows", "Alice in Wonderland" etc.
One of the most interesting UK animals found only in one, tiny corner of Minnesota in the US is the pine marten. Btw, a "baby raccoon" is called a kit.
Snakes are so rare to come across in the UK. A few months ago there was a grass snake found in a river in my local area and even though they're not dangerous or anything it still made my local news.
@@danhudson4614 Best not to handle any wild reptile in general to avoid stressing them out, unless you're educated heavily on the topic and are surveying
Hedgehogs were introduced by the Romans. They were a delicay for the upper-classes. They were encased in clay and cooked in the open fire. The cooked hedgehogs were removed and cracked open. Dormice were also introduced for the same purpose.
Hedgehogs are native to Britain, but they aren't to Ireland, they have been retreated and returned to Britain during periods of glaciation, they have been introduced to British Isles islands to which they aren't native to like Orkney, Shetland, Isle of Man and some of the Channel Islands.
I'm in Nottinghamshire, UK. A few years ago I was a volunteer ranger at the forestry commission and had to go down a long winding forest track to get to the ranger station. Usually this was about 5am and I would have headphones on listening to heavy metal music. Regularly the biggest red deer stag would emerge from the undergrowth to confront me, I think the vibrations from the music made him think the rut was starting. Can't say he scared me, just made me jump.
@@susanhill2110Another Nottinghamshire commentator. Out with my dogs, deer are a regular sight. Our local University for rural studies observe badgers. The students have cameras in their setts and are able to track the badgers. Fascinating images. .
In our immediate area, there are Beaver, Mink, Heron, Deer, Pipistrelle Bats, Woodpeckers, Ospreys and on one of the Islands on Loch Lomond ,Wallibies.
The wild creature you are most likely to see in the UK is the urban fox - which pretty much lives among us - at least in small towns and villages and city suburbs. Rabbit's are everywhere in rural areas but are not indigenous to the UK - they were brought over from France by the Normans after 1066 - since when they have largely supplanted our native hares. Hedgehogs are the mortal enemy of Adders. Observations have shown that the hedgehogs technique is to bite down hard on the snake's back then instantly rollup into a ball - their spines erect are longer than the snakes fangs which cannot then reach to penetrate the animals skin. They repeat this until delivering a killing bite. Our grey squirrels are the same species as those in North America since that is where they came from. A fad in the late 1800's and early 1900's saw hundreds brought over to be released in the grounds of stately homes as an ornamental species. This was finally outlawed in 1930 but the damage was done, and they have continued to spread across the UK, all but wiping out our native red squirells,
My friend from Ohio asked me why the American badger looks like it will take you out, whereas our badger looks like it would invite you to afternoon tea?
I live in a suburb on the outskirts of a large city, but close to a 'Country Park'. I have nightly visits from a group of badgers for whom I leave out food. At it largest last summer the group ws at least 7 strong. There are also local foxes- but they are ubiquitous even in truly urban environments. Sadly the little hedgehog is becoming rarer across the country. I am not aware of any in my neighbourhood, which is sad. I have only seen an adder twice in my life, and both of these were on the Isle of Wight off the South Coast. Grass snakes and slow worms are much more common but harmless.
Darwinism at its best 😂😂😂 no wolves but loads of foxes! I live in a busy housing estate and I have a family of foxes that must have a den behind my house and for 32 years my children and I have watched this little family, we see the new cubs every year. When it's really cold or snowing we put a cooked chicken out for them 😊
We have loads more wildlife than is mentioned here. The shrew is just one and a reference made to it by Shakespeare in his play ‘The Taming Of The Shrew’. Hedgehogs are very beloved by Brit’s, but are in decline. Badgers are often endearingly refers to as Brock. You often see them running around the streets at night because their habitats are being destroyed for housing. You wouldn’t have seen them even 20 years ago. So much has changed in such a short period.
Bison technically aren't US only, near where I live (Kent, England) we've started reintroducing European Bison into the wild again and one recently had a baby
You certainly do see alligators in Florida. On a holiday mainly to Disney World we visited Cape Canaveral and had a coach trip around the various launch sites. The driver giving the commentary pointed out numerous alligators in the gulleys at the side of the roadways. He said one had got into the rear seat of a car in the car park when a lady working in one of the offices left the car briefly unattended to run back to the office for a bag she had forgotten. She returned to put the bag on the back seat of her car only to see the gator in there fortunately facing the other way. She ran back at warp speed to the office and animal control had to attend. A young child was snatched by a gator while paddling with his or her parents only feet away in a small lake within the Disney World resort a few years ago. Tragically the child was killed. It hit the news here in the UK. Disney stated that they had signs warning people not to go into the water, obviously expressed profound regret at the parents loss and re-iterated the need for great caution in any body of water however small. Apparently it's advisable for all swimming pools to be checked for alligators in the morning before anyone goes for a dip!
I think they should bring back the wild Aurochs to the UK. They were some impressive beasts about 1/3 bigger than domestic cattle with massive horns. Sort of super-cows. I have read that they are attempting to revive them in Europe at the moment.
The introduction of beavers to England has caused a chain-reaction of all sorts of benefits. Initially brought in to help flooding problems, their dam-building has given a rare opportunity for insect species to thrive, which in turn has provided a food source for birds and other animals that haven't been seen in those areas for years. In addition to beavers, last year a small herd of bison have been shipped here in a reserve in a plan to re-introduce them to the wild (in fact, one of the females transported here was found to be pregnant, and gave birth to a healthy girl so they're already doing well). It's important to note that wildlife diversity has been - and still is - a huge issue in the UK, such as species like the red squirrel, which were almost completely out-competed by grey squirrels before the deliberate breeding of pine marten in certain forests to help curb the decline. Scotland has its fair share of issues, too, one relating to the high population of deer causing havoc to forest ecosystems. Since they have no natural predators and eat much of the vegetation, Scotland's forests are on the decline. Not the only factor, obviously, but one that has given rise to the idea of re-introducing either lynx's or wolves to balance out the populations. It would be great to see either of these species thriving back in the UK after many years being absent!
Hedgehogs come out after dark. They're very shy; if you shine a light on them, they curl up into a ball. I used to see dozen of them in the park at twilight while walking the dog. Foxes are everywhere.
Oh no! This is part one??? I wonder how long the actual wildlife video is.....and how much of it is Tyler surmising what she MIGHT be about to say, then pondering on his view of what she MIGHT say, and then pondering it even more..........and possibly a bit longer......then after that he'll ponder on his pondering......then laugh at his humour......then press play, watch five more seconds....then it's back to pondering for ten minutes over those five seconds of video......🥱🥱🥱
The largest land animal in the UK, is the red deer. European badgers might look cute but are not to be messed with! Badgers have very large , powerful jaws and fight like trojans! The beavers here are the European beaver and are slightly larger and heavier than American beavers. The largest carnivore in the UK is the grey seal. They are very large, particularly males and can be aggressive but as they live on the coast and are mainly aquatic, people don't really come into contact with them.
I live in a town called Congleton in Cheshire, hundreds of years ago the town had a bear for bear baiting, the bear died so they sold the town bible to get a new bear. Congleton is still locally known as Bear Town😁
A note on "deer": In the UK we have (Scottish) Red Deer, Sika Deer, Fallow Der, Roe Deer, (Chinese) Muntjac, and (Chinese) Water Deer. In the US you have White-tailed Deer, Mule Deer, (both Mountain and Forest) Caribou, Milu, (Rocky Mountain, Maitoban, Tule, and Olympic) Elk, and (Alaskan, Eastern, and Western) Moose. To say that deer are an animal the UK and the US have in common is reductive at best.
Tyler, it would be fun to watch you do some reactions to animals you would find in the United States. By the way, did you know that Badgers are native to Indiana. This was a thoroughly delightful reaction video. I can't wait for part two. Also, take care that an Indiana Black Bear doesn't get you. Peace
Black bears are likely to run if you scare them but a brown bear will chew your face off. Polar bears will follow you, find out where you live, steal your XBox then chew your face off. Koala bears will get stoned and give you chlamidia. Peruvian bears just make everything sticky with marmalade.
I live in Shetland, remote islands in Scotland, we regularly see otters, seals, ocras, humpback whales, porpoises, basking sharks, and a ton of birds including puffins. We don't have a lot of land mammals because we're so remote, some hedgehogs, voles, polecats, voles.
I'd say the most dangerous UK animal would be something like a wild stag or something 🤷♀️ I think they'd be more common than an adder too. Non wild animals, the most dangerous animal in the UK is definitely a cow. They are super scary 😂
Cows are big and dumb, whereas horses are big and crazy. A cow may crush you by accident, but a horse will smash your skull in if a crisp packet blew by. I'd take a cow over a horse any day.
@@avaggdu1 not a chance, I've had horses all my life, still got 3 (although they are only my daughter's retired 12hh, 13hh and 14hh ponies, so not huge) but cows? Hard nope! They terrify me 😂
There’s actually serious debate about reintroducing wolves to the U.K. as a part of environmental restoration efforts. Many other native animals, that were either extinct or critically endangered in the U.K., have been successfully reintroduced/returned to a more stable population (White-tailed Eagles, Red Kites, Eurasian Beavers, Pine Martens, etc) Wolves would probably be exclusive to gated reserves though, at least at first.
pine Martins have always been in Scotland. They weren’t reintroduced here. Wolves will not be introduced to gated reserves as you are not permitted to fence off huge areas. One billionaire has already been refused permission. I live in a mountainous forested area where some people, who mostly live in cities (many outwith Scotland) would like to introduce large predators. It’s not going to happen.
@@kirsteneasdale5707 I never said that Pine Martens were reintroduced, they are one of the species who’ve been subject to efforts to conserve their population/boost their population. Also in regards to wolves, fenced off areas would potentially be a short term solution for the initial stages on reintroduction (to safely study the environmental impact first) not necessarily long term. Fenced off areas on common land in the U.K. can be as large as around 14 acres, not too much smaller than the territories of Eurasian Wolves, which can be around 19 acres at their smallest. We also shouldn’t say never or judge what’s achievable in the future solely based on the present. I.e. we often can’t accurately determine possibility or outcome without practical study over time.
We also have Red squirrels and the grey ones have slowly been the cause of death for the former. Also, most cars lose a fight with a badger never mind people - they are cute though!
Here are ten facts about Britain you might not know: 1. Wombles are the Uk's largest land predator 2. Big Ben doesnt refer to the clock but the guard of the clocktower first lord of time. Benjamin Longthorne-Bell. was 7ft 2 inches and is buried in west minster. some people confuse longthorne-bell and think it actually means one of the bells in the tower. 3. Stone henge is a folly 4. The queen owns all the swans and that extends to the use of the word swan 5. The scottish national animal is a unicorn the last of which died in edinburgh castle in 1606 6. cockney rhyming slang was used in ww2 radio transmitions as a code. "veal and ham pie"= "spy" 7. Since Brexit the UK is now technically situated on the continent of north america 8. The stone of scone is the origin of rock cakes and scones 9. The first minister of scotland like the pope takes on a new fish based name when elected. smoked haddock is then cooked to signal the event. 10. The london underground or tube was designed as a sewer, but after workers noticed that the earth removing carts were able to traverse london in good time the plans were changed. This accounts for the tiles and the name tube, as in 'its all gone down the tubes'.
Was going to say the same. But as for the Edible Dormouse (which is not rare as such... it's simply not found anywhere AT ALL except the Chilterns), to be fair, she covered de facto 'naturalised' animals in her intro. (And so, neither are Little Owls, for example.) But it was a silly video all told, and an embarrassing reaction from Tyler, too. He needs to go on a holiday to Florida first I think, before he heads to the UK.
A lot of people underestimate the wildlife in the UK. We have golden eagles, leopard seals, elk, boars, panthers (not shitting you), lynxes, wolves, and bears. (The last two were reintroduced very recently). We also have orcas, basking sharks, and tiger sharks around our waters. It'd take a while to get through what animals we have at any given time. We had Wallabies on our mainland at one point but they're assumed to have died out with the possible exception of one of our smaller islands. I'm serious. I was surprised when I was researching what animals exist, not in captivity, in the UK. And yeah. Beavers are another reintroduction. We're reintroducing a LOT of species over time.
The lack of large predators in the UK is a huge problem for our biodiversity which is in the bottom 10% in the world. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park totally revitalised the ecosystem there. There's a movement to reintroduce the Eurasian lynx to Scotland and I really hope we do soon.
Yes, except they're now culling the wolves again as there's too many.... Perhaps, humans, should just leave things alone in the first place? We never learn! Constantly fixing and clearing up after previous effed up ideas have gone pear shaped! If we dig much more out of the inside of our planet it's going to implode like an empty eggshell! Still, as we lay inside the rubble, we can marvel at the skeletons and fossils of thousands of other creatures we've annihilated since our arrival... 🙄
Speaking as someone who actually lives in one of the areas where some folk (who usually live in cities and / or outwith Scotland) would like to reintroduce these large predators, I hope they don’t. People here do not want them.
We have reintroduced wolves in Scotland. We have mink and coypu that have escaped and have reintroduced beavers. We have alot of city foxes and flocks of green parrots in London.
Hedgehogs and foxes are full of fleas. We do have two species of snakes in the U.K., they are the Grass snake and the Adder. The Adder is the only one which is venomous, but not deadly.
I remember I was out in an ambulance (I volunteer with an ambulance organisation) we were going to a nursery for the children to look at the ambulance to help create a positive association with ambulances and paramedics I am not one, but our SDU ( service delivery uniform) is similar in colour, and a red kite almost collided with the windscreen of the ambulance. It was the only time I'll probably ever get up close to one.
Tyler...Foxes are almost as common as Dogs and Cats in some areas of London...like where i live in outer north London suburb of Barnet...same with most outer Boroughs with a lot of Green Belt...they mostly roam around after dark...but can be seen in daytime if you're vigilant...unfortunately there's so many they take chances crossing roads and get killed and become 'flat Foxes' frequently by speeders...it churns my stomach when i pass one...'squished Squirrels' too i'm afraid..and 'Deadghogs' are rare thankfully where i travel..i haven't seen a Hedgehog in years now...probably a good thing...
Our ancestors in the UK made sure to kill off anything that could kill us (Wolves, bears etc.) and left all the cute, fluffy animals (like hedgehogs) alone to thrive.
In our area (from a few feet, up to a couple of miles away from my house) I have seen Red Deer, Weasels, Red Squirrels, Foxes, Tawny Owls, Barn Owls, Golden Eagles, Buzzards, Seals, Porpoises, Dolphins, Hump back Whales, and Northern Bottlenosed Whales.
The haggis is like a sausage dog with a hedgehogs face; they live in the mountains of Scotland; though migrate once a year for breeding; that's when they're harvested.
I'm upset that she left out the fact that the haggis was almost hunted to extinction 😢
😅😅
i thought haggis was a food not animal ?
@@lindadurrant43 totally THE most amazing animal, I was hoping to catch one last year when I was up in Edinburgh but it was the wrong time of year for haggis hunting
@@Passionfruitmartini Absolutely ,, the Mottled Haggis is very rare ,, ive only seen pictures of one myself . The Lesser Spotted is a bit more common and then you have the Common Haggis .

The European badger may look cuddly, but it can be a real psycho when the mood takes it. I think they're awesome.

Yep. Never get into an argument with a badger. They're destructive when you block their tracks too. Not known for their ability to go round things.

I’m shocked that he didn’t know what animals are found in the US, especially alligators, bison, bald eagles and bears. I’m from the UK and knew of most of the animals mentioned
He said he was a typical American; I like him; leave alone. 😊
He didn’t say that he said they weren’t typical house pets lol
Tyler would have wet dreams if he knew. He feels safe in his little bubble. Don't tell him about the Wolverines. Or the fact that the States also has as many animals including bears, moose, elk, deer, alligaters, bugs, snakes, spiders and flora that can kill you just like Australia.
I lived in the US and saw Cardinals (a bright red bird), box turtles (tortoise with a front door), snapping turtles (in lake), fireflies (who would respond with flashes when I flashed my front door lamp), jack rabbits (who would sleep on my front lawn), armadillos (in Florida), sea cows (in the Florida Keys) that you could pet, horseshoe crabs (also in Florida Keys), tree frogs (who talk to each other - rikikikik...), skunks,...
Picnicking in the New Jersey woods we saw a mole that scuttled along, above ground, but hidden underneath the fallen leaves.
IT gives me the impression that he is more used to urban environs than getting out there into the wilds and discovering the natural wonders around him. Mind you, if you asked most modern teenagers,British or American, so hooked on their social media devices and games,then they'd be just as clueless?
i do volunteer driving for a wildlife rescue centre here in the UK and am always picking up injured hedgehogs, squirrels, various birds like the red kite and sparrow hawks and taking them to the centre to be cared for until they are fit to be released. its very rewarding but also I feel incredibly fortunate to be able to get so close to these special animals. I have videoed some of them on my TikTok. Most of them are so friendly its like they know you are trying to help them 🙂. I will do a TikTok soon of more animals now its spring time here in the UK now.
How do you feel about culling and especially the grey squirrel one . Personally I think it's disgusting. Poor animals are always treated like rubbish .
Last summer we had several hedgehogs in our garden. We put a hedgehog hotel under a large Bush and it was used several times. Our small poodle didn't like them coming into " her" garden and barked at them, and couldn't understand why they rolled into a ball until she went away. I took some great photos of them rummaging around in the undergrowth.
@@juliecobbina2024 Grey's are an invasive species so should be dealt with to allow the native reds to recover
@@juliecobbina2024 I understand that Pine Martins are making a comeback in some places. They kill squirrels. They prefer the greys because they're easier to catch.
@@robcrossgrove7927Pine Martens in Ireland were down to a small area of east Co. Clare but in the last 30 years have spread back all over the island again mainly due to reforestation. As they’ve spread, the red squirrel has also spread and taken back territory from the grey squirrel. There hasn’t been any human culling of the greys apart from in Northern Ireland but the pine marten is far more effective in re-establishing red squirrels than trying to trap grey squirrels.
I'm concerned that Tyler didn't think the USA had bison.
He didn't think they has alligators or half of the animals that were mentioned. WTF!! He's very naive.
He didn't know about moose either! Beggars belief!
I find a lot of these reaction people don't seem to look at the information they have and make deductions from it.
@@KissMyFatAxe Oh, that's a bit mean. He's a very nice guy. Please don't put him down.
The American education system strikes again!
He kind of blamed his not knowing these animals on the fact that he hasn't seen many (if any) of these animals in the area(s) where he has lived. So, like most Americans I've had exposure to, he knows only what he has experienced and, if he hasn't experienced it, then it must not be common. I assure you that, in many states, some of these animals are quite common.
The video missed out pine martins, which are like ferrets, Weasel & stoats
which are similarly in the weasel family, hares (like large rabbits).
There are otters & water voles in river, & Beaver have been re-introduced to help control flood in place. The American grey squirrel has taken over
leading to the near extinction of the native red squirrel (by desease).
There are numerous types of deer, some of which are introduced & some native. They are very common almost everywhere in the countryside.
Red foxes are also common & many live in towns & cities because food & shelter is easy to find. Wild boars have been brought back to farm but have escaped so several groups now breed in the wild. The American mink is another escapee, from fir farms, that is now wild in the UK. European bison are being brought back, & even linx & wolves are suggested for some areas. The is an attempt to re-wild especially remote areas, but with some opposition from farmers etc.
The red squirrel has successfully been reintroduced into some areas of the UK by a breeding program that is carefully managed by the animal welfare society on Brownsea island in Poole Harbour. There are in fact a few breeding pairs near me in North Hertfordshire if you know where to look and are patient.
Missed? Or shall we see what's in part two?
@@Aspie_Geek_UK Not to mention the black squirrels, in N.Herts.
Also the very random population of ring-necked parakeets
I was surprised there wasn't any mention of moles. They have them in some parts of the US but they're much more common in the UK.
I live in the 2nd largest city in England, which is Birmingham. I have foxes at the end of my garden which is near a train track, wooded area and river. There's foxes, herons, badgers, hedgehogs, woodpeckers, kestrels, slow worms, squirrels, muntjac deer, mice, rats, frogs, ducks, moorhens, voles etc. This just about 3-4 miles from the main city centre.
That's a nice bit of diversity to be living around. Sounds lovely.
I have badgers, hedgehogs, robins and pheasants living in my garden. See them all regularly, as I put food out for them. Got rabbits, deer, foxes and moles about too
You'd get arrested here for doing that! A 'fed' animal is a 'dead ' animal! They don't charge you for feeding birds though for some reason.
Ohh take special special care of your hedgehogs! What a state of affairs when the hedgehog numbers are in such a decline.
@@madoldbatwoman I guess the decline of hedgehog numbers is due to folk putting down slug pellets in their beautifully ornate gardens, which go on to kill the hedgehogs. I've just let nature take over my garden and it's now a bit of a wildlife sanctuary. I'm the only person in the whole street to have trees and hedges
@@elunedlaine8661 Neat, clean and tidy. Three of the horsemen of our apocalypse!
@Eluned Laine, I envy you. I used to have 2 hedgehogs visiting the very "natural" (unkempt) garden of the house I once lived in. Their snuffling was so noisy it would wake me up, then I'd stay at the window to watch them.
There was a little copse of tall trees and lush undergrowth, outside my last flat, where there were rabbits, squirrels, an assortment of birds (including an owl) and foxes. I hated the damp flat but loved its location!
I tried to persuade my neighbour to not feed one little fox every evening, but he wouldn't listen. It's okay to occasionally feed, as long as it's neither often nor regular, so they don't lose out on their usual hunting or foraging spots, or become dependent upon you, or even get too confident around other humans.
The only dead fox I ever saw near that last flat was the little one that had become too tame and too reliant on my neighbour's feeding. It seems like a kindness, but it's not really in the animals' best interests. He was really sad about the fox and said that he'd follow (RSPCA) guidance next time. Obviously, it might not have been due to him feeding her that she had been attacked, but it is a possibility.
Occasionally supplementing animals' diets and feeding garden birds, especially in winter as long as it's suitable for that animal, is good and will encourage them to come back, just on the off chance!
When I was a teenager and getting drunk every weekend I was once on my staggering way home and I literally stumbled upon a hedgehog and drunkenly decided to take it home with me and it sat in my hand quietly, probably scared to death, all the way there. I took it up the stairs to my bedroom and put it in a cardboard box and went to bed. About half an hour later I was woken up by a thump thump thump on the stairs outside my room and when I managed to get up and go see what it was I saw the box was empty and the hedgehog was at the bottom of the stairs trying to get out of the front door! Nobody can ever tell me hedgehogs are spineless creatures!
Well no, hedgehogs do have lots and lots of spines. I've never heard any referred to as spineless.
@@quantisedspace7047 Spineless as in afraid to take a risk.
As a British person, I can confirm that foxes and hedgehogs are in fact, the coolest things ever. They're usually super chill around people unless threatened and foxes are pretty intelligent
Foxes are killers.
I live in rural UK and the only animals we have to worry about are adders in the summer, more so dogs getting bitten and wild boar. We have been charged a few times by wild boar.
They’ve re-introduced wolves, beavers, bison and boars back into the U.K. in recent years as well as many other animals that have gone extinct in the last couple of hundred years. Also something she didn’t mention was red squirrels which are super pretty, and super common near me
Oh also there’s thousands of bird species here
Red Squirrels are common near you? I really miss the days before the American Grey Tree-Rats colonised my area. 😢
I hope the Red Squirrels prosper over there.
We also have a surprisingly large parakeet population, at least in my area of London. Not uncommon to see 5+ of them on the tree in my garden at one time. It does make for an odd pairing when there's a pigeon with a parakeet
The first time I saw one I was completely taken aback and pleasantly surprised.
First time I saw one on my uni building I was stunned and genuinely thought it had just escaped. I had no idea that there was a growing population of them in London.
Same here.
I've seen a couple of them up here in West Lancashire, very distinctive and very vocal.
@@steddie4514 very cocky too. They like to sit on my balcony and stare. Feels like an even more camp version of Hitchcock.
In 2005 I was coming home in my car after walking my dog when a black cat (panther/cougar) crossed the road 20feet in front of me, and ran through the fields at phenomenal speed .
I didn't get a camera phone until 2010 but it was awesome to see in Wiltshire👍
I knew about all the US wild animals mentioned, (maybe not all the specific species of snake!). I'd say most people would associate all those animals with the US, especially the alligators in Florida, and the US bison are so famous and connected to its history!
Hedgehogs are so rare in the UK. I was saw one last year, I’ve only seen them at night. Foxes are very common and I’m so happy to hear beavers and cranes are being reintroduced. I love dogs so much
In the Isle of man we don't have snakes ,squirrels or foxes but we do have wallabies in the north of the island they started to breed in the wild after a couple escaped from a wildlife park.
Yep was very surprised when walking around in there back in 2020 and came across 2 🤣
What happens to all of the wildlife and domestic pets when the TT is on?
There's also quite a few red necked wallaby populations in Scotland, mid englands, and supposedly South Wales
Once they're introduced, wallabies get everywhere. There's an active campaign where I live in New Zealand to get rid of them after someone introduced a pair from Australia a few decades ago.
@@Fallopia5150 Not sure there is much they can do to stop wildlife getting on the course the noise of the bikes maybe keeps them away but you will be fined if you dog gets on the course

Right? I've never been to the US and have known since I was a kid that they had bison 😳 how does he not know?
Maybe it's because they were all slaughtered in order to starve out the indigenous natives to make them surrender their lands and way of life.

The UK has not always an island.
During the ice age, there was a land bridge that connected the UK to northern France/ Holland.
It was called doggerland.
This is how the UK got wolves, brown bears and deer.
As we came out of the ice age. Around 12.000 years ago.The ice melted. Raising the sea level and turning the UK into an island.

The UK is not an island. Great Britain is an Island.
@@rikmoran3963 That's a bit pedantic but, yes, you are right. For anyone that doesn't know, the United Kingdom includes Northern Ireland which is a short distance from Great Britain across the Irish Sea. The term "Great Britain" only includes the three countries of England, Scotland and Wales which are connected by land.
Also the same as where I live on the Isle of Wight, as some 7,500 years ago (this age varies depending on which web site I look at) as the river Solent flooded separating us from Portsmouth and Southampton and the South coast, putting the Solent about 4 miles more or less between us and England....The Roman invasion named us Vectis, back in AD45 and stayed for some 400 years.
When it came to dangerous animals in the British Isles, she forgot to mention that a deer can kill you if you provoke it to use its antlers. The adder's poison is as deadly as a bee/wasp sting: Deadly in the way that an allergic person can get an anaphylactic shock.
She only mentioned the black and polar bears as a dangerous one in the USA. Don't you have grizzlies as well?
Maybe she might mention Red Deer later, the largest UK land mammal, one doesn't want to get near the stags during the rutting season. We also have Sea Eagles and Golden Eagles as well as smaller birds of prey. Then there is the escaped and thriving Wild Boar, once native and even Wallabies not to mention the American Mink and the Grey Squirrel.
No picture of my favourite - the red squirrel with little tufts on his ears - really cute. The horrible grey squirrel (vermin) is wiping them out with a virus but some are found on Brownsea Island (where Lord Baden-Powell started the scouts) off the south coast of England. Others are found in the north of the country and in Scotland - in small little areas dotted about.
I had a badger run down the cycle path at me a few nights ago. Bloody terrified me. And foxes are the UK racoon
And Coyote
I will never forget 4 years ago when a badger ran towards me on a dark country path and I genuinely thought I was going to die. Once it got up close and saw me it ran away but I was terrified. Badgers are aggressive and many carry TB so there is a risk, but I think I was a bit too overdramatic 🤣
@@willyham89 Exactly my thought process! Thought the video was a bit mean with the Yank Badger shown snarling and the UK Badger is posing!

No a fox is a fox, nothing similar to a raccoon
They want to reintroduce wolves and Lynx back into the Scottish Highlands. And we have the Great Golden Eagle that makes the Bald Eagle look like a pigeon. A fully grown male Golden Eagle can lift house cats.
British sea eagles are huge.
I didn't realize they were such larger than bald eagles..
Unfortunately, bald eagles have flown off with pet dogs here in Western Canada. It is a very sad ending for a beloved pet.
I would love to see the wolf back in the UK... we have big cats, so why not 😊
here in Germany the wolf is making a comeback, mostly in the north and towards the polish border, where the population is quite thin. I think it is cool, when wildlife "finds a way", even though I have to admit that comes from someone who has never seen a wolf outside of a Zoo before.
A fully grown Golden Eagle can kill and transport medium sized dogs, lambs, Swans and Deer fawns, and even fully grown Muntjac Deer. Even a fat house cat doesn’t usually weigh more than ten pounds. There are bigger Eagles out there but not many.
The hedgehog is a protected species in the UK. It is actually illegal to take a wild hedgehog home to keep as a pet. If you see one that may be in danger, you have to contact the RSPCA. There is a species of hedgehog, however, that you can own as a pet. They are the Pygmy Hedgehog.
There are so many people that don’t seem to understand that European hedgehogs and African Pygmy hedgehogs are different 😂 I’ll be watching a cute video of a pet hedgie and I’ll go in the comments, and see morons saying the little fella needs to be in the wild!! It’s crazy :(
Don't underestimate cute animals, they can be fierce when they need to be.
I went on a fabulous trip, visiting from the UK. We travelled through Wyoming to South Dakota visiting the Titon National Park and Yellowstone. The wildlife was amazing. Moose, many bison, some just sauntering down the road, a black bear. I was delighted to see chipmunks. I really recommend a road trip, it is amazing scenery too.
LMAO, "boring here?" Gators, bears, bison/buffalo, mountain lions, bull sharks (which survive in fresh water, as well), deadly spiders, moose,, rattlesnakes....
Yeah, "boring" in the U.S.
Surprisingly, the UK also had dinosaurs and woolly mammoths. 😉😉
And hyenas in the ice age.
I used to have loads of pet hedgehogs when I was a kid! We have loads of birds you don't have in m the US including Golden eagle, and buzzards she missed off her list, there have been beavers re-introduced in Scotland. We also have the grey seal. One creature that can be deadly in the UK is the adder, this is a snake that can kill a small child or an old person with a weak heart, they are a venomous snake (it’s yellow and black, not like in the picture she shows). Been bitten a few times myself and it wasn't pleasant, an arm like a beer barrel, projectile vomiting and blood red eyes. She also forgot the wild boar. Oh and the Highland cow.
Also the killer whales off Orkney!
Adders are variable in colour, the pattern is the consistent part. They can be black, white, grey, green, yellow, tan, brown. The males tend to be silvery in colour while the females are shades of brown and green.
The video was only about the different animals, not ones we both have, like wild boar and killer whales off the coast.
Hedgehogs are incredibly cute, but they often have lots of fleas, so think twice about scooping them up and taking them indoors!

In London we have a large population of wild parakeets. I actually have a pair that use my flat’s ventilation duct as a nesting box having ripped the vent free of the brickwork. Never underestimate the destructive potential of birds, even brightly coloured ones.
The parakeets disassembled the ventilation duct ? With what ?
Same in Birmingham. They’re irritating little birds lol

Red kites used to be rare in the UK. Now there are many thousands of them in the the counties of Buckinghamshire and Berkshire to the North and West of London after they were purposely re-introduced a couple of decades ago.
Foxes are extremely common across the UK. I would expect to see at least one fox on every night time suburban journey of only a few miles across London.
Oh yer they managed to repopulate a lot new areas during lockdown. Most of have come from the red kite centre in Ceridigion in Wales.
In the city I live in I have crossed paths with several badgers that live in nearby gardens, they are pretty big stocky animals, and of course loads of urban foxes, who look gorgeous and can freak people out first time they hear them; as their calls in the night sound just like a small child screaming
Wolves from Canada were brought down to the US to repopulate them in Yellowstone. Ranchers weren't impressed but ALL animals serve a purpose and are necessary for a healthy ecosystem. The reintroduction of beavers in the UK also caused a flap but are now found to be beneficial in flood control. There used to be bears in the UK. Badgers can be very nasty and interestingly, the dog primarily bred to go into their dens and kill them was the Scottish Terrier (I have had 7 of them). Scotties look cute but are like concrete blocks with huge teeth. Thry call them "Die Hards". If they get in a fight something dies.
UK has six species of deer, two of which, I think, are native - red deer and roe deer.
London has lots of foxes - several thousand, I think.
She did not mention birds or aquatic life.
Scotland has had some sea eagles reintroduced from Norway, but they have been taking lambs, not just fish. Locals call them 'the flying barn door' - (larger than a golden eagle).
she mentioned the Red Kite (A Bird) which a few years ago was nearly extinct here in the UK but by careful management of its breeding habitat and having it listed as an endangered species its not much more prolific and they are starting to be seen in lots of places they never were. She should also have mentioned the Sparrow Hawk which is also native to the UK.
Foxes are all over the UK, but they are usually nocturnal so people rarely see them. I love in the South West and they can be heard rummaging through bins at night and you might get to see one if you walk the streets, which I have on many occasions. Foxes are very common.
I get the feeling that birds will be in part 2. Since moving from the UK I miss a lot of the bird life that is specific to the country. I still remember lying in a field as a kid watching kestrels.
Technically three native deer, you could classify the current semi-wild Reindeer's of Scotland as native, as only 800 year ago there was native British Reindeer running free in Scotland.

I've seen plenty of badgers when cycling here in the UK, but they've always been rather flattened at the side of the road having had an unfortunate encounter with a car.
There are Bison in Southern England, they have been released to control the vegetation. There are also wild Boar anf there are wild Deer even in London
Where I used to live, which was a town on the outskirts of Manchester, I used to get squirrels, voles and hedgehogs in the back garden on a fairly regular basis.
Also, the archery club I was a member of had fox and badger dens as well as rabbit warren's.
We also had a kestrel once land in the middle of the field with a Pigeon it had just caught and proceeded to eat it.
That sounds a bit cruel to be honest.......(The archery club bit)
@@jiggely_spears why does it sound cruel?
The Archery Club was next to a park and bird sanctuary, and except for the Rabbits, you would very rarely see the Badgers or Foxes.

😂 your videos are always entertaining
In the UK, moles, water voles (formerly known as water rats), dormice, red squirrels, hares, otters, weasels, ferrets, stoats, shrews, bats, grey seals.
Invasive species: coypu, mink, grey squirrel.
The easiest way to think of British animals is through children's books: "The Wind in the Willows", "Alice in Wonderland" etc.
One of the most interesting UK animals found only in one, tiny corner of Minnesota in the US is the pine marten. Btw, a "baby raccoon" is called a kit.
Snakes are so rare to come across in the UK. A few months ago there was a grass snake found in a river in my local area and even though they're not dangerous or anything it still made my local news.
@@danhudson4614 Best not to handle any wild reptile in general to avoid stressing them out, unless you're educated heavily on the topic and are surveying
Hedgehogs were introduced by the Romans. They were a delicay for the upper-classes. They were encased in clay and cooked in the open fire. The cooked hedgehogs were removed and cracked open. Dormice were also introduced for the same purpose.
The middle classes also used them to hold cheese cubes and pickled onions for parties.
Hedgehogs are native to Britain, but they aren't to Ireland, they have been retreated and returned to Britain during periods of glaciation, they have been introduced to British Isles islands to which they aren't native to like Orkney, Shetland, Isle of Man and some of the Channel Islands.

I'm in Nottinghamshire, UK. A few years ago I was a volunteer ranger at the forestry commission and had to go down a long winding forest track to get to the ranger station. Usually this was about 5am and I would have headphones on listening to heavy metal music.

In our immediate area, there are Beaver, Mink, Heron, Deer, Pipistrelle Bats, Woodpeckers, Ospreys and on one of the Islands on Loch Lomond ,Wallibies.
The wild creature you are most likely to see in the UK is the urban fox - which pretty much lives among us - at least in small towns and villages and city suburbs. Rabbit's are everywhere in rural areas but are not indigenous to the UK - they were brought over from France by the Normans after 1066 - since when they have largely supplanted our native hares. Hedgehogs are the mortal enemy of Adders. Observations have shown that the hedgehogs technique is to bite down hard on the snake's back then instantly rollup into a ball - their spines erect are longer than the snakes fangs which cannot then reach to penetrate the animals skin. They repeat this until delivering a killing bite. Our grey squirrels are the same species as those in North America since that is where they came from. A fad in the late 1800's and early 1900's saw hundreds brought over to be released in the grounds of stately homes as an ornamental species. This was finally outlawed in 1930 but the damage was done, and they have continued to spread across the UK, all but wiping out our native red squirells,
I like this video very much. I would love to see more videos comparing wildlife of different countries.
My friend from Ohio asked me why the American badger looks like it will take you out, whereas our badger looks like it would invite you to afternoon tea?
I live in a suburb on the outskirts of a large city, but close to a 'Country Park'. I have nightly visits from a group of badgers for whom I leave out food. At it largest last summer the group ws at least 7 strong. There are also local foxes- but they are ubiquitous even in truly urban environments. Sadly the little hedgehog is becoming rarer across the country. I am not aware of any in my neighbourhood, which is sad.
I have only seen an adder twice in my life, and both of these were on the Isle of Wight off the South Coast. Grass snakes and slow worms are much more common but harmless.
Darwinism at its best 😂😂😂 no wolves but loads of foxes! I live in a busy housing estate and I have a family of foxes that must have a den behind my house and for 32 years my children and I have watched this little family, we see the new cubs every year. When it's really cold or snowing we put a cooked chicken out for them 😊
We have loads more wildlife than is mentioned here. The shrew is just one and a reference made to it by Shakespeare in his play ‘The Taming Of The Shrew’. Hedgehogs are very beloved by Brit’s, but are in decline. Badgers are often endearingly refers to as Brock. You often see them running around the streets at night because their habitats are being destroyed for housing. You wouldn’t have seen them even 20 years ago. So much has changed in such a short period.
Bison technically aren't US only, near where I live (Kent, England) we've started reintroducing European Bison into the wild again and one recently had a baby
Thousands ot Buffalo and Bison in Canada.
Loads of bison living in eastern Europe @@GarySaltern
I hadn't encountered a squirrel in England until 1994,now we get them running in our street,they come into our gardens and I love it.
You certainly do see alligators in Florida. On a holiday mainly to Disney World we visited Cape Canaveral and had a coach trip around the various launch sites. The driver giving the commentary pointed out numerous alligators in the gulleys at the side of the roadways. He said one had got into the rear seat of a car in the car park when a lady working in one of the offices left the car briefly unattended to run back to the office for a bag she had forgotten. She returned to put the bag on the back seat of her car only to see the gator in there fortunately facing the other way. She ran back at warp speed to the office and animal control had to attend. A young child was snatched by a gator while paddling with his or her parents only feet away in a small lake within the Disney World resort a few years ago. Tragically the child was killed. It hit the news here in the UK. Disney stated that they had signs warning people not to go into the water, obviously expressed profound regret at the parents loss and re-iterated the need for great caution in any body of water however small. Apparently it's advisable for all swimming pools to be checked for alligators in the morning before anyone goes for a dip!
Lol, i went to florida from the UK and spotted an alligator nearly every day I was there! Loads of little lizard/geckos too
We have lizards here, very common to see.
I think they should bring back the wild Aurochs to the UK. They were some impressive beasts about 1/3 bigger than domestic cattle with massive horns. Sort of super-cows. I have read that they are attempting to revive them in Europe at the moment.
They have reintroduced bison in kent and wolves and lynx reintroductions have plans but keeps being put on hold.
The introduction of beavers to England has caused a chain-reaction of all sorts of benefits. Initially brought in to help flooding problems, their dam-building has given a rare opportunity for insect species to thrive, which in turn has provided a food source for birds and other animals that haven't been seen in those areas for years. In addition to beavers, last year a small herd of bison have been shipped here in a reserve in a plan to re-introduce them to the wild (in fact, one of the females transported here was found to be pregnant, and gave birth to a healthy girl so they're already doing well). It's important to note that wildlife diversity has been - and still is - a huge issue in the UK, such as species like the red squirrel, which were almost completely out-competed by grey squirrels before the deliberate breeding of pine marten in certain forests to help curb the decline. Scotland has its fair share of issues, too, one relating to the high population of deer causing havoc to forest ecosystems. Since they have no natural predators and eat much of the vegetation, Scotland's forests are on the decline. Not the only factor, obviously, but one that has given rise to the idea of re-introducing either lynx's or wolves to balance out the populations. It would be great to see either of these species thriving back in the UK after many years being absent!
There are also ferrets ,weasles and in Scotland the pinemartin. We have mink and otters . Red Squirrels.
We have red squirrels & weasels here, Isle of Wight
and stoats
Mink are classed as a non native invasive species
@1914 saxon 👍 Mountjacks too.
@Kirsten Easdale she started the video stating not necessarily native.
Lovin this one ! hurry for part 2 !
I’m waiting on her to talk about the British bird wildlife like the peacocks
Hedgehogs come out after dark. They're very shy; if you shine a light on them, they curl up into a ball. I used to see dozen of them in the park at twilight while walking the dog. Foxes are everywhere.
Oh no! This is part one??? I wonder how long the actual wildlife video is.....and how much of it is Tyler surmising what she MIGHT be about to say, then pondering on his view of what she MIGHT say, and then pondering it even more..........and possibly a bit longer......then after that he'll ponder on his pondering......then laugh at his humour......then press play, watch five more seconds....then it's back to pondering for ten minutes over those five seconds of video......🥱🥱🥱
Yeah but we love it, that's why we keep coming back.
The largest land animal in the UK, is the red deer. European badgers might look cute but are not to be messed with! Badgers have very large , powerful jaws and fight like trojans! The beavers here are the European beaver and are slightly larger and heavier than American beavers. The largest carnivore in the UK is the grey seal. They are very large, particularly males and can be aggressive but as they live on the coast and are mainly aquatic, people don't really come into contact with them.
I live in a town called Congleton in Cheshire, hundreds of years ago the town had a bear for bear baiting, the bear died so they sold the town bible to get a new bear. Congleton is still locally known as Bear Town😁
Hi from Chester 👋 Had no idea Congleton used to have an actual bear!
@@JustSiobhan certainly did, back in the good old days😁
A note on "deer":
In the UK we have (Scottish) Red Deer, Sika Deer, Fallow Der, Roe Deer, (Chinese) Muntjac, and (Chinese) Water Deer.
In the US you have White-tailed Deer, Mule Deer, (both Mountain and Forest) Caribou, Milu, (Rocky Mountain, Maitoban, Tule, and Olympic) Elk, and (Alaskan, Eastern, and Western) Moose.
To say that deer are an animal the UK and the US have in common is reductive at best.
Tyler, it would be fun to watch you do some reactions to animals you would find in the United States. By the way, did you know that Badgers are native to Indiana. This was a thoroughly delightful reaction video. I can't wait for part two. Also, take care that an Indiana Black Bear doesn't get you. Peace
Black bears are likely to run if you scare them but a brown bear will chew your face off. Polar bears will follow you, find out where you live, steal your XBox then chew your face off. Koala bears will get stoned and give you chlamidia. Peruvian bears just make everything sticky with marmalade.
I live in Shetland, remote islands in Scotland, we regularly see otters, seals, ocras, humpback whales, porpoises, basking sharks, and a ton of birds including puffins. We don't have a lot of land mammals because we're so remote, some hedgehogs, voles, polecats, voles.
I'd say the most dangerous UK animal would be something like a wild stag or something 🤷♀️ I think they'd be more common than an adder too.
Non wild animals, the most dangerous animal in the UK is definitely a cow. They are super scary 😂
Cows are big and dumb, whereas horses are big and crazy. A cow may crush you by accident, but a horse will smash your skull in if a crisp packet blew by. I'd take a cow over a horse any day.
@@avaggdu1 not a chance, I've had horses all my life, still got 3 (although they are only my daughter's retired 12hh, 13hh and 14hh ponies, so not huge) but cows? Hard nope! They terrify me 😂
@@CW1971 I think we both have a personal bias and I've never been head-butted by a cow. I'm terrified of horses, so let's call it even.
European here and I honestly had no idea you guys didn't have hedgehogs and foxes.
There’s actually serious debate about reintroducing wolves to the U.K. as a part of environmental restoration efforts.
Many other native animals, that were either extinct or critically endangered in the U.K., have been successfully reintroduced/returned to a more stable population (White-tailed Eagles, Red Kites, Eurasian Beavers, Pine Martens, etc)
Wolves would probably be exclusive to gated reserves though, at least at first.
I believe they are also reintroducing the European Bison back in England.
pine Martins have always been in Scotland. They weren’t reintroduced here. Wolves will not be introduced to gated reserves as you are not permitted to fence off huge areas. One billionaire has already been refused permission. I live in a mountainous forested area where some people, who mostly live in cities (many outwith Scotland) would like to introduce large predators. It’s not going to happen.
@@kirsteneasdale5707 I never said that Pine Martens were reintroduced, they are one of the species who’ve been subject to efforts to conserve their population/boost their population. Also in regards to wolves, fenced off areas would potentially be a short term solution for the initial stages on reintroduction (to safely study the environmental impact first) not necessarily long term. Fenced off areas on common land in the U.K. can be as large as around 14 acres, not too much smaller than the territories of Eurasian Wolves, which can be around 19 acres at their smallest. We also shouldn’t say never or judge what’s achievable in the future solely based on the present. I.e. we often can’t accurately determine possibility or outcome without practical study over time.
We also have Red squirrels and the grey ones have slowly been the cause of death for the former.
Also, most cars lose a fight with a badger never mind people - they are cute though!
Actually there are beavers in uk. They were re-introduced Started in 2009. However there aren’t many (only around 400 in the wild).
Wild beers? Rather scary.
Damn Ill have to find a few of these wild beers, although I guess as they are being reintroduced I wont be able to hunt one and drink it ;-)
@@Aspie_Geek_UKlol dang auto correct. Iv corrected it.
The Bison has recently been re introduced back into the UK. We also get alot of deer in the UK
Here are ten facts about Britain you might not know:
1. Wombles are the Uk's largest land predator
2. Big Ben doesnt refer to the clock but the guard of the clocktower
first lord of time. Benjamin Longthorne-Bell. was 7ft 2 inches and is buried in west minster. some people confuse longthorne-bell and think it actually means one of the bells in the tower.
3. Stone henge is a folly
4. The queen owns all the swans and that extends to the use of the word swan
5. The scottish national animal is a unicorn the last of which died in edinburgh castle in 1606
6. cockney rhyming slang was used in ww2 radio transmitions as a code. "veal and ham pie"= "spy"
7. Since Brexit the UK is now technically situated on the continent of north america
8. The stone of scone is the origin of rock cakes and scones
9. The first minister of scotland like the pope takes on a new fish based name when elected. smoked haddock is then cooked to signal the event.
10. The london underground or tube was designed as a sewer, but after workers noticed that the earth removing carts were able to traverse london in good time the plans were changed. This accounts for the tiles and the name tube, as in 'its all gone down the tubes'.
OMG! Wombles? What are you trying to achieve? LOL.
@@sharonmartin4036 He's trying to be funny but there are people stupid enough to believe it 😅
😴
You need to edit number 4, its no longer the Queen but the King ;-)
@@Aspie_Geek_UK oops
The hedgehog pictured is not from the UK. Glis Glis is not indigenous, introduced by the Romans, is very rare, aka the edible dormouse.
Was going to say the same. But as for the Edible Dormouse (which is not rare as such... it's simply not found anywhere AT ALL except the Chilterns), to be fair, she covered de facto 'naturalised' animals in her intro. (And so, neither are Little Owls, for example.) But it was a silly video all told, and an embarrassing reaction from Tyler, too. He needs to go on a holiday to Florida first I think, before he heads to the UK.
A lot of people underestimate the wildlife in the UK.
We have golden eagles, leopard seals, elk, boars, panthers (not shitting you), lynxes, wolves, and bears. (The last two were reintroduced very recently). We also have orcas, basking sharks, and tiger sharks around our waters.
It'd take a while to get through what animals we have at any given time. We had Wallabies on our mainland at one point but they're assumed to have died out with the possible exception of one of our smaller islands.
I'm serious. I was surprised when I was researching what animals exist, not in captivity, in the UK. And yeah. Beavers are another reintroduction. We're reintroducing a LOT of species over time.
The lack of top predators, like wolves in the UK, is really detrimental to the ecosystem 🤔
Yep.
Oh yes we love Fox's especially at night when they get together in your garden .
The lack of large predators in the UK is a huge problem for our biodiversity which is in the bottom 10% in the world. The reintroduction of wolves to Yellowstone National Park totally revitalised the ecosystem there. There's a movement to reintroduce the Eurasian lynx to Scotland and I really hope we do soon.
Yes, except they're now culling the wolves again as there's too many.... Perhaps, humans, should just leave things alone in the first place? We never learn! Constantly fixing and clearing up after previous effed up ideas have gone pear shaped! If we dig much more out of the inside of our planet it's going to implode like an empty eggshell! Still, as we lay inside the rubble, we can marvel at the skeletons and fossils of thousands of other creatures we've annihilated since our arrival... 🙄
Speaking as someone who actually lives in one of the areas where some folk (who usually live in cities and / or outwith Scotland) would like to reintroduce these large predators, I hope they don’t. People here do not want them.
@@kirsteneasdale5707 Then we'll continue to see our biodiversity suffer with all of the problems that brings.
@@kirsteneasdale5707 It's usually the farmers who do not want them.
The UK has some of the lowest biodiversity rankings in the world.
We have reintroduced wolves in Scotland. We have mink and coypu that have escaped and have reintroduced beavers. We have alot of city foxes and flocks of green parrots in London.
Hedgehogs and foxes are full of fleas.
We do have two species of snakes in the U.K., they are the Grass snake and the Adder.
The Adder is the only one which is venomous, but not deadly.
Three native species, four if you include the non-native aesculapian snake.
I remember I was out in an ambulance (I volunteer with an ambulance organisation) we were going to a nursery for the children to look at the ambulance to help create a positive association with ambulances and paramedics I am not one, but our SDU ( service delivery uniform) is similar in colour, and a red kite almost collided with the windscreen of the ambulance. It was the only time I'll probably ever get up close to one.
It must be scary going out in America and coming face to face with a lesser-spotted Tyler 😄
Foxes are so common in London, you can see and hear them almost on a daily basis, especially at night when they’re out scavenging.
"I hope the people of Britain are safe"
As a person from the uk... WE ARE NOT SAFE FROM THE HEDGEHOGS
I have to stop watching your videos at work! "A raccon on steroids" made me laugh so hard a good number of heads turned in my direction :D
Tyler...Foxes are almost as common as Dogs and Cats in some areas of London...like where i live in outer north London suburb of Barnet...same with most outer Boroughs with a lot of Green Belt...they mostly roam around after dark...but can be seen in daytime if you're vigilant...unfortunately there's so many they take chances crossing roads and get killed and become 'flat Foxes' frequently by speeders...it churns my stomach when i pass one...'squished Squirrels' too i'm afraid..and 'Deadghogs' are rare thankfully where i travel..i haven't seen a Hedgehog in years now...probably a good thing...
Yes in uk depending where you live there may be specific wildlife.
Although there’s no wild wolves in uk. We still have captive wolves.
Our ancestors in the UK made sure to kill off anything that could kill us (Wolves, bears etc.) and left all the cute, fluffy animals (like hedgehogs) alone to thrive.
In our area (from a few feet, up to a couple of miles away from my house) I have seen Red Deer, Weasels, Red Squirrels, Foxes, Tawny Owls, Barn Owls, Golden Eagles, Buzzards, Seals, Porpoises, Dolphins, Hump back Whales, and Northern Bottlenosed Whales.
There are a couple of dogs in the UK that are dead ringers for wolves; saw 1 at the jobcenter today.
The haggis is like a sausage dog with a hedgehogs face; they live in the mountains of Scotland; though migrate once a year for breeding; that's when they're harvested.
Lived in the uk all my life and think i’ve only seen a live badger maybe once! Sadly, all i ever see are dead badgers by road sides 😢
