American mink is the most bloodthirsty killer on Earth relentlessly kill poultry small livestock pets eating only the prime parts they only the head or the liver they can decimate an entire flock of ducks or chickens and eat only specific body parts they can enter into a space as big for a small if you like as a 50-cent piece they're one of the biggest killers inside the lake otters out here Lake otters of decimated the entire bird populations when I moved up to this area you could walk across the lake on the backs of the waterfowl now there is none zero all the young and eggs have been eaten by otters can crows and ravens it's really sad I rescued a bunch of eggs from the ducks on the lake and I was raising them and a wolverine came and ate all 21 babies there was one left her name is little and she was hiding under leaf and I saved her

I had red ear sliders once, they got too big an eventually we gave them to one of my dad’s coworkers who said they owned a pond. Two years ago, i learnt that they didnt owned a pond and they just released them in a pond/wetland area that was nearby. I apologize in advance for my families negligence.
Why is mine so small? I have a male red ear slider and he is been the same size for about 10 years now. He is about 4 inches and hasn't grown pass that. Also yes he is healthy and still alive but for some reason he won't grow anymore. We had a female that we had to get rid of because she was big like she was around 8 inches might even be bigger now don't know. So is that being small just male red ear slider thing or does my turtle just have something keeping him from growing bigger?
The irony of Rascal the Raccoon was that the show itself was about how trying to domesticate a racoon was more trouble than it was worth and how they should simply be left as wild animals. Funny how this made people want them as pets.
@@charliedallachie3539 actually only takes a couple generations of foxes to make them domesticated with floppy ears and different tails. There was a long running Russian experiment on domestication of foxes. From what I’ve heard their personalities are more like cats than dogs. Raccoons would take probably several generations through careful selection or gene manipulation could make it faster but that’s a lot of time and money you’d have to invest in the hopes of getting a domesticated raccoon. Better off getting a different pet than a raccoon. They are cute as babies but as adults they are destructive/aggressive little brutes.
Same thing with Finding Nemo, where the film left millions of dead and unwanted pet clown fish in its wake despite a large portion of the plot involving a group of fish wanting to escape a fish tank to be in the wild. Time is a flat circle...
sliders are native where I live, and the amount of flattened baby turtles on the road is astounding sometimes, despite there only being a small drainage canal nearby
I don't actually ever see that where I live, just adult turtles trying to cross highways getting smashed, I've gotten out and a saved a couple though. I have two small drainage ponds around where I live and there are at least 50 of what I assume are all red ear sliders. I never see the babies though, they're all in hiding or eaten.
Sadly, they love to bask on a nice warm surface and roads and driveways are pretty nice for just that. I've had to move a number of turtles in my sub. But there is no way I'm moving the big snapper I've seen if that sucker decides to bask on the road.
To add to the Largemouth Bass slander, one of the two heaviest weighed ones has been caught out of Japan and they credit it to Japan already trying to remove them for some time and the survivors got so much more food they just went crazy. That one fish was 22lb 5oz and as a northern USA angler my biggest Largemouth Bass caught is right around 5lb... that's scary
There have been many 15-20 lb Bass caught all over southern USA. Florida and California mainly. And i live in Mn and ive caught some 7 pounders up here. They just cant thrive in cold weather as good
@@homie-da-clown7520 most fish actually live longer in colder weather. Tho they eat such a smaller diet in the cold winters they just don't grow nearly as fast :/ I Iive in very south Alabama and we get several 70+ days in December first week of march we had two days it hit 85. That really helps southern bass grow much better year round.
Yeah I use to have chickens raccoon where a big problem for me I like there meat though I try not to waste animal life even if it is pest control on behave of my chickens most people don't like the taste though so I don't see why people would farm them especially a poultry farmer
A European poultry farmer that never had to deal with raccoons before and probably it's not well known to them on what they can do to chickens.........
The signal crayfish is native here in the Pacific Northwest, and, ironically, is threatened by invasive crayfish species. The signal crayfish has nearly displaced the native crayfish in the San Lorenzo River in Santa Cruz California.
Here in the states we tend to think of Asia as the source of the most nasty invasive species. Interesting to see that North American species are just as capable of wreaking havoc elsewhere.
Camping in Minnesota (north central US) as a child I remember all of us waking up to a bunch of noise and coming out of our tents at 5am to a gaggle of probably 10 raccoons working as a team untying my dad's boat cover pulling it off and opening our cooler which we stashed in there... they just stared at us for a minute and then continued raiding us until we started yelling and chased them off. Very smart animals and almost too cute and human-like to get mad at.
I had a pet red-eared slider. I remember once I was watching a reality show episode filmed in Japan and there was a close-up of a red-eared slider in a botanical garden, which struck me funny because I knew they were native to where I live in the US. I looked it up and apparently they caused such a huge problem in Japan that their import was banned in the country.
I personally think that a cull of mink might be necessary in the UK, they are having a detrimental impact on our waterways, completely eradicating waterbirds, amphibians, fish as well as the endangered watervole. I also think something should be done about sliders to, as they are another invasive species in the UK, and while not being as detrimental as mink can still cause declines in bird and fish populations
You'd need to shut down the mink farms before any of that. You could cull the wild ones but that won't help if they're still being released after their usefulness ended in the fur industry.
@@stephenclark9070 making it illegal to breed mink in captivity could help as well. As even if you do close down the mink farms, there’s still many backyard breeders etc
You could do a video showcasing man introduced animals to fix problems. Such as the cane toad was introduced to Australia to eat bugs (which backfired) But you could find more instances of situations like this.
From what Ive seen, japanese has developed a large bass fishing culture, lots of it is centered around lake biwa, and you have fishing companies like megabass which are from japanese too
I have been semi-binging this channel for over a month now, only just noticed that you've barely got 50k subscribers... I LOVE this channel, can't imagine how big it's gonna be in another year!
Here's an idea for a video "Creatures that's are technically invasive, by definition, but have been where they are for so long, they are considered native." For example, The Dingo.
Probably foxgloves. Technically considered a noxious weed in my home state, their status as invasive is actually controversial. The thought goes something like this. Yes they form dense monocultures BUT the insects like them and they help stop even worse weeds (like scotchbroom) from taking over.
I am a little bit older (62) but I remember back in the early 1960's you could buy South American caimans at a local drugstore. Never heard any stories about them being released in the wild and growing to large sizes. On a side note, the Colorado river is now infested with invasive zebra mussels. A native American fish, the redear, also known as the shellcracker, is capable of eating these mussels and are now reaching tremendous sizes for their species. A world record redear of over 6 pounds was caught at lake Havasu. A huge redear would normally be 1 or 2 pounds.
I got one when I was a kid in the sixties it actually came by mail in a ventilated box we kept it in a large aquarium needless t o say it got pretty large and we donated it to a local zoo
Great video, I'm an avid outdoorsman that struggles with invasive species in the US and I've often wondered which of our native species were problematic elsewhere. I had heard about the raccoon and mink already, but the others were news to me.
What about the grey squirrel. Almost all squirrels in the UK are invasive and the native red squirrel population is down to only a few locations and the sad bit is if you ask a Brit what squirrel we should have most are clueless, they think the grey is the only option through ignorance
If you want to hear something more depressing, people used to eat them in America, but nobody has passed on the memo. Tribes like the Cherokee considered them a fine meal, this information got passed on to settlers, and it only fell out of favor back in the 60s. Eat the squirrel, UK, eat him!! Look up the recipe for Brunswick stew and go to town; save the fur to make gloves!
I would've thought that smallmouth bass would be a bigger problem than largemouths. They can live in more environments, smaller water bodies, and they have an even bigger appetite. They'll bite on anything
I had a red eared slider for a few years when I was a kid. He got to be about 7 1/2 inches in diameter then my parents made me release him in our friend’s pond. Sorry for my contribution to this issue lmao
I live in stratford ontario i remember one summer here someone got tired of their snakes and released 7 boa constrictors in the woods here. It was about may when they did it so the snakes would have been able to survive in ontario until weather dropped freezing around october/november here. Im not too scared of snakes as my friend raises anacondas and ive held 11-16ft anacondas... however at that time i made sure when i went into the woods i carried a machette on my back and a long walking stick so i could make am attacking constrictor try to wrap around the stick instead of me. Machette was obviously for the chopping of the head if i got the chance
Tsuki about the mink entry. It's shameful to admit but most people do know that about the harvesting facilities. They just don't care as long as they can get their furcoats and all the better if it's cheap too. Great video and keep it up 👍
Baby red-eared sliders were sold by the millions in US department stores throughout the 1950s and 1960s (this practice was banned due to risk of Salmonella). The spread of the red-eared slider came long before TMNT.
And worldwide they're definitely popular not because of the cartoon (I don't think people even know those mutants belong to certain species), their popularity must be due to easy breeding and that it's ok for houses (plus most such pets die young, so first part is crucial).
@@melodi996 I agree that most people don't know that the TMNT characters are supposed to be a specific type of turtle. It is really sad that most of the turtles still die as babies. The red-eared slider is supposed to live about 20 years if taken care of properly. Even a properly taken care of goldfish should live at least 10 years. Unfortunately, most of these animals die as babies because people DON'T take care of them.
I'm surprised the grey squirrel isn't on the list. I'm told they've driven the native red squirrels largely out of their range throughout the UK. I consider them America's revenge for the house sparrow, rock dove (aka street pigeon) and starling, which are now the most common birds in the US. They've driven many native species like creepers and bluebirds away from the suburbs to the deep woods. I saw a brown creeper in Queens, NYC as a child in the early 1960s and didn't see another for almost 60 years, when I got into woodland hiking and bird photography.
I have a pair that are 50 years old as of this year, and still going strong. They were purchased 5 or 6 years before the US banned the sale of turtles under 4 inches in length
It's kinda unusual you put competition with European mink as the last "trouble", while it is pretty much the greatest effect American minks have, that's the common species now, while native is endangered.
Have you done a video on the introduction (either by purpose or otherwise) of British trout and pacific salmon have had on the great lakes. Also the pending threat of Asian carp ?
As an American hearing that the animals I grew up with which are now being destroyed by invasive species from other places, I am more than happy hearing that these animals are living in various places. If you guys hate them please send them back, we miss them very much.
The city raccoons are MASSIVE compared to the wild ones....I have 2 raccoons living in my neighborhood and they are closer in size with some of the dogs then they are to the cats 😵💫
@@TsukiCove they probably eat a lot of food meant for outside pets. They are dumpster divers too, hence the nickname "trash panda". I have learned to bang on the door to the garbage compactor at work so that I won't find a Ricky staring at me when I throw something away.
What about the coyote? Or the oppossum? Has either of these species invaded other continents? Either one of these species could survive just about anywhere.
Okay so I know releasing pets into the wild is bad but what if you released a pet that’s native in that area. Would that be considered just boosting the local population or is it still bad
As someone who grew up in an area where there were several mink farms, I´m glad to see that it´s an industry that´s dying. Thanks to Covid, all industrial mink holds were shut down and all of the mink who lived there put down, when it was found out that the disease could spread from them to us. By the end, it was pretty much only the Chinese market, they were selling to anyway and many of them wanted to get out, but had no option except to continue.
I knew cats were massholes! Just take a look at what that cat did to that raccoon 7:15 - cat just started swinging at an innocent raccoon hoping to find an opponent for chess.
Wow. Signal crawfish are my native crawfish. In their native range, invasive crawfish from the southern US compete with them. Although not a solution, hope people are least eat them!
The most devastating are the Alberta wolves. The have most likely wiped out the smaller Rocky Mountain subspecies and are destroying elk herds and may completely erase the chiras moose in Idaho and Montana.
Raccoons are highly adaptable and very smart. Plus I have heard that the urban ones are far smarter than their woodland counterparts. If you have a raccoon problem in your country, you can only hope to maybe control it a little, but you'll never get rid of them.
I lived in the south my whole life and didn’t know red ear sliders were invasive. They are chill, like you said they just chill on logs in the swamp land, don’t do nothing but look photogenic. Like if your in a creek and see a red slider it’s chill, if you don’t it feels like something is missing. Like you said they are good pets too, good first pets hell just catch a wild one at this point. I’ve never had one because reptiles aren’t my thing but if I had to get a turtle I’d probably catch a wild slider because they are everywhere
Raccoons are chill tho they are smart so they get a pass. I knew a family that hung around a rehab and came out every single night right up to us for some food. We’d give them chips or pizza and they’d take it right out your hand. They are like cats tho, they look cute but randomly they can snap and mess you up bad. That’s why I don’t have one, they are chill just sketchy it’s like owning a wild cat maybe it wants scratches or maybe it wants blood you can’t tell. With a dog you can learn the body language but with a cat they can look the exact same aggressive and docile it’s just up to them if they want to attack.
We had a massive outbreak of crayfish plague in a nearby river and it can spread not just through the crayfish but also from boats. It is really sad to see a threatened species like our local crayfish die like this. We have mink in the area around our cabin too. At the moment they don't seem to cause much trouble but they really can overkill sensitive species in the wrong place. We find mussel shells and fish around the waters which show that the mink is there but I haven't seen one at least this year.
Largemouth bass are also invasive within the US as well, since they have been stocked in many freshwater habitats that they weren't originally native to.
In my neighborhood lake we have possible world record largemouth bass as large as a toddler or so but they're LARGE FISH QND THEY ALSO DONT ALLOW FISHING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD LAKE LIKE THE OTHER LAKE huff huff I like ur vids allot keep it up
The bass thing is funny. Here in the northeast US our large mouth bass population is being destroyed by asian brown carp. The irony is palpable.

Baby red-eared sliders were sold by the millions in US department stores throughout the 1950s and 1960s (this practice was banned due to risk of Salmonella). The spread of the red-eared slider came long before TMNT.
And worldwide they're definitely popular not because of the cartoon (I don't think people even know those mutants belong to certain species), their popularity must be due to easy breeding and that it's ok for houses (plus most such pets die young, so first part is crucial).
@@melodi996 I agree that most people don't know that the TMNT characters are supposed to be a specific type of turtle. It is really sad that most of the turtles still die as babies. The red-eared slider is supposed to live about 20 years if taken care of properly. Even a properly taken care of goldfish should live at least 10 years. Unfortunately, most of these animals die as babies because people DON'T take care of them.
mink would be the most worrisome for me because(if i remember correctly) they have an instinctual bloodlust and don't just kill for food.
Great Video!
always love your videos
What is the intro song? I really like the short snippet of it and wondering if there is a full/extended version (also obviously the name).
I also live by one of the few rivers that still has native kray fish, grey squirrels are a big problem for our red squirrel, birds and trees
As a Korean, a black-mouth bass is one of the worst invading species ever like bluegill and bullfrog.
They're really native here in WA and I occasionally catch them
Show some love for Opossums as they adapt well to humans in a future video.
In Arkansas the state I live in some people eat opossum pie.

achieved!
I'm surprised the grey squirrel isn't on the list. I'm told they've driven the native red squirrels largely out of their range throughout the UK. I consider them America's revenge for the house sparrow, rock dove (aka street pigeon) and starling, which are now the most common birds in the US. They've driven many native species like creepers and bluebirds away from the suburbs to the deep woods. I saw a brown creeper in Queens, NYC as a child in the early 1960s and didn't see another for almost 60 years, when I got into woodland hiking and bird photography.
I am truly sorry for not liking the video sooner, I am teaching my kids how to fry hamburger
One thing, red eared sliders can not live for 70 years, on average between 20-30, but some have lived just past 40
I have a pair that are 50 years old as of this year, and still going strong. They were purchased 5 or 6 years before the US banned the sale of turtles under 4 inches in length
7:33 The two cats: Hey new cat, what you doing?
Beautiful ☺‼️
What's the song in the beginning called? I really like it and would like to know, also great video, Tsuki!
It's kinda unusual you put competition with European mink as the last "trouble", while it is pretty much the greatest effect American minks have, that's the common species now, while native is endangered.
The Raccoon is just to cute to be upset at it being an invasive species. The trash panda is a gift
Please do endangered animals in the philippines or extinct :D
good job tsuki
Have you done a video on the introduction (either by purpose or otherwise) of British trout and pacific salmon have had on the great lakes. Also the pending threat of Asian carp ?
As an American hearing that the animals I grew up with which are now being destroyed by invasive species from other places, I am more than happy hearing that these animals are living in various places. If you guys hate them please send them back, we miss them very much.
The city raccoons are MASSIVE compared to the wild ones....I have 2 raccoons living in my neighborhood and they are closer in size with some of the dogs then they are to the cats 😵💫
thats crazy i had no idea they were so much bigger, they must be eating a lot of pizza :)
I think they might be eating some of the kids in the neighborhood 😲😂🤣
@@TsukiCove they probably eat a lot of food meant for outside pets. They are dumpster divers too, hence the nickname "trash panda". I have learned to bang on the door to the garbage compactor at work so that I won't find a Ricky staring at me when I throw something away.
Interesting. Such an interesting and intelligent animal
I LOVE RACCOONS SO MUCH SO MUCH
Please do invasive species of Tanzania!
Do more weird and wonderful fish here's a suggestion :midnight betta fish they're really rare and I own one
What about the coyote? Or the oppossum? Has either of these species invaded other continents? Either one of these species could survive just about anywhere.
The Virginia Oppossum has invaded the Western United States thanks to past human actions.
Wish you 500k subs
You missed mink causing problems in Patagonia too.
Kia kaha
Maori for keep going stay strong 💪 ❤
Okay so I know releasing pets into the wild is bad but what if you released a pet that’s native in that area. Would that be considered just boosting the local population or is it still bad
depends. it can introduce unfamiliar dseases as well as the fact that some animals lack their natural instinct in the wild
I have also encountered the invasive grass carp and other invaders
the bass phenomenon in japan mightve not caught early on, but its been exploding the last couple of decades, ive noticed
As someone who grew up in an area where there were several mink farms, I´m glad to see that it´s an industry that´s dying. Thanks to Covid, all industrial mink holds were shut down and all of the mink who lived there put down, when it was found out that the disease could spread from them to us. By the end, it was pretty much only the Chinese market, they were selling to anyway and many of them wanted to get out, but had no option except to continue.
I knew cats were massholes! Just take a look at what that cat did to that raccoon 7:15 - cat just started swinging at an innocent raccoon hoping to find an opponent for chess.
Wow. Signal crawfish are my native crawfish. In their native range, invasive crawfish from the southern US compete with them. Although not a solution, hope people are least eat them!
Can you do some videos about the UK?
I watch ur vids allot in my TV it's a roku and it has youtobe a bit weird right 😄
I'd say the Largemouth Bass is just our retaliation for invasive carp here.
The most devastating are the Alberta wolves. The have most likely wiped out the smaller Rocky Mountain subspecies and are destroying elk herds and may completely erase the chiras moose in Idaho and Montana.

cheers , Sir
Probably been asked but- are humans an invasive species?
What did the White-clawed crayfish have in it's grasp? An eel?
Raccoons are highly adaptable and very smart. Plus I have heard that the urban ones are far smarter than their woodland counterparts. If you have a raccoon problem in your country, you can only hope to maybe control it a little, but you'll never get rid of them.
Or maybe make a truce with them with fast food sacrifices. If it works well the raccoons might be the solution to our trash
I lived in the south my whole life and didn’t know red ear sliders were invasive. They are chill, like you said they just chill on logs in the swamp land, don’t do nothing but look photogenic. Like if your in a creek and see a red slider it’s chill, if you don’t it feels like something is missing. Like you said they are good pets too, good first pets hell just catch a wild one at this point. I’ve never had one because reptiles aren’t my thing but if I had to get a turtle I’d probably catch a wild slider because they are everywhere
Raccoons are chill tho they are smart so they get a pass. I knew a family that hung around a rehab and came out every single night right up to us for some food. We’d give them chips or pizza and they’d take it right out your hand. They are like cats tho, they look cute but randomly they can snap and mess you up bad. That’s why I don’t have one, they are chill just sketchy it’s like owning a wild cat maybe it wants scratches or maybe it wants blood you can’t tell. With a dog you can learn the body language but with a cat they can look the exact same aggressive and docile it’s just up to them if they want to attack.
You should cover red swamp crayfish they are not only voracious feeders they can get a rather descent size
What's the name of the opening song?
A very lovely Crawfish Boil will do nicely thank you kindly.
What ever happened to the German shepherd now?
We had a massive outbreak of crayfish plague in a nearby river and it can spread not just through the crayfish but also from boats. It is really sad to see a threatened species like our local crayfish die like this. We have mink in the area around our cabin too. At the moment they don't seem to cause much trouble but they really can overkill sensitive species in the wrong place. We find mussel shells and fish around the waters which show that the mink is there but I haven't seen one at least this year.
That diversity, and inclusion for ya
Are there any invasive Large Mouth Bass in the Nile or Amazon Rivers?
No. They can't withstand tropical climate.
@@petergray7576 That is good news.
What's with the hidden occult symbols at 3:22?
Largemouth bass are also invasive within the US as well, since they have been stocked in many freshwater habitats that they weren't originally native to.
Choose only one
A) invasive species
B) diversity & inclusion
C) I want what I want, when I want it, and I am a huge hypocrite.
In my neighborhood lake we have possible world record largemouth bass as large as a toddler or so but they're LARGE FISH QND THEY ALSO DONT ALLOW FISHING IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD LAKE LIKE THE OTHER LAKE huff huff I like ur vids allot keep it up
I’ve had bitter experience with raccoons and I think we should export them to Russia and China.
Thats how i feel about the gray squirrel. Im in a constant srqte if war with those things
Hold up the Boeing B-52 stratofortress bomber was the same age as the red-eared slider
I'm surprised not to see the eastern grey squirrel on this list. They have a habit of outcompeting and displacing native European red squirrels.
Why do you go by 月 ?
so who is cooking red eared sliders in Australia?
7:29 Waschbär that's the cutest name for a racoon, because they wash their food 🥺🥺🥺🦝🦝🦝
