Oh wow, you executive produced this! How cool! It just popped up into my recommended videos, haha. Nice one!
Yup, i made the majority of this myself when i was in college. Lots of work, fun times
@@EvanAldo Epic, dude! Oh yeah I remember you said you majored in communications or etc. I was in journalism! Mad respect!
When I was in South Florida in the '80s some guys released tropical fish into canals West of Miami up and into Palm Beach County than waited until a population established itself than would catch them to sell into the aquarium trade. They were very secretive about their sites to keep out competitors, they made a lot of money doing this and put a lot of legitimate growers out of business as they had no overhead. This is one reason the Everglades is full of exotic fish. They are probably still doing it. Shame!
Sound's like the mystery is solved :(
@@lennonwilson7373 the answer is always money isnt it :(
These invasive creatures really magnify how stupid people are, who are responsible for devastation.
Liberals are an invasive species
@@toserveman9265 The absolute worst of the worst !
@@meauxjeaux431 Cons break laws and get away with it. Money talks with them.
Anyone who ate a banana, mostly. Every species has their origin story. Brown anoles, tegus, iguanas came with all the fruit imported from South America. Pigs with the spanish explorers. Curly tailed lizards were purposely released by sugarcane farmers in the 40s. I could go all day, pet owners get the blame because it's an easy scape goat. In reality it's us as consumers that brought them in. Hell the peacock bass was released by the government to raise tourism. The worst invasive species ever came from Egypt and is the cat but no politician is gonna touch that with a 10 ft pole.
@@alynewlun6956 , pythons in the Everglades came over on banana boats.
lion fish did not enter Florida through the tropical fish trade. They were introduced by major hotels in Bermuda releasing their eggs by the millions yearly.
They forget to mention domestic cats. Cats are known to kill many different types of birds when the owner let it run free. Maybe they should use cats to get rid of the peacock.
I was wondering if they would mention cats. I'm disappointed they're more destructive than probably all the others because of hunting and disease and people's inability to treat them like the other invasive species
A cat won't do anything to a peacock. A cat will play and torture a bird that is much smaller and poses no threat to them. All you would do is kill more and more poor birds.
Don't think you know how big a peacock is 😂
This guy at 13:05 rules. He's doing the South Florida ecosystem a service while providing pets to those outside of the area in one full swoop. All without killing-Cheers to you!
How foolish!!! Selling his "catch" as pets so that they can multiply and overwhelm their owners only to be released into the wild in order to exponentially increase the problem. Well at least the inconsiderate SOB tree hugging puke is causing the problem OUTSIDE of his own area. I hope he sells a million of his "pets" to people in YOUR neighborhood, Richard K. Just remember when you're up to your ears in pests, err, I meant, pets, that you must learn to LIVE with the animals! After all, animals have rights too, ya know. Again after all, they were here before man was, right Mr Tree Hugger?
@@vaticanjesuitNWO I believe the idea is, Florida is a specific place they can thrive. If you release a lizard into somewhere that has cold weather, it's going to die quickly. They're only a problem because it is Florida.
@@vaticanjesuitNWO Dude, the animals get taken, and they get to a place they can get food, better conditions, and care, while the guy gains some money, win win for me, you just have the IQ of a cucumber, oops, I'm insulting the cucumber 😬
We in Florida need to promote these fish and get them on every menu. Catch lion fish and give the snapper and grouper a break. Get the restaurants to start serving and let the spear fishermen make some $.
Or someone start a business to let tourists spearfish them, and then have a grill out at the end of the day!
I'm a Native American, and a can say these Animals are not the only invasive species that don't belong here... And our quality of life has been affected greatly.
Are you 100% native American?
@@jonhudson6981 of course gr8 grandkid of elizbeth warren pokum haunt us
The oldest artifacts in America are European, racist....AND....Windover Pond site in Florida contained 7000 year old European bodies....DNA TESTED! GOOGLE: "Stone Aged Europeans America."
@@baneverything5580 Could you please post the link to you info. Because all i can find is speculation into who these people actually where . Most of the evidence is pointing in the direction of the Indigenous people who buried there dead like that during that time frame. I have yet to come across where they have DNA tested the remains suggesting the six individuals, found at Manasota key, were of European DNA. So please post your source/ link. Here are mine..

I might add i have watched the youtube Doc on this and it too has said it is only speculation that can not be proven.( the DNA Test.) Its also funny to me that Europeans decent people always think they were the only race to make stone age tools. Give me a break.
I moved away from florida for 18 years. Now that I'm back I see theres no way to stop the invasive species from wiping out our native species. Many species will go the way of the carolina parakeet and ivory billed woodpecker.
@@inharmonywithearth9982
This has nothing to do with hunters idiot.
i thought this was going to be about the snowbirds from new york city.
So much room for jokes here but damn, somebody will get butt hurt. I hear the people from Jersey are voracious feeders too.
Big problem in Arizona too.
They are also an invasive species because they reproduce here.
@@saltykrug the female from joisey led in the increase in skunk ape sightings..
@@georgiobenelli4854 ...and then they try to return to their native lands and wind up half way back... here in NC...as "half backs."
I waited through the whole video waiting for the discussion of the homo sapiens who have altered the whole landscape of South Florida with the destruction of the natural drainage system, the uncontrolled development of all land, and the pollution of our beautiful waters. All of this is connected to the unnatural drainage of the land for the purpose of development ($$$). The system was destroyed before any of it was understood. Whether it's needed for our winter food production or the sustaining of natural habitats, no land is sacred in South Florida. Canals are nothing more than open sewers destroying all of the estuaries along the coastline with their severe dumping of polluted fresh water. The waters of Lake Worth are severely polluted between the City of Lake Worth & Boynton Beach, because the West Palm Beach canal dumps its dirty water there.
Nature always finds a balance, contrary to the narrative delivered here. Species have been moving around the planet before man began writing its history. The only concern should be our own survival because we are destroying the planet that sustains us.
Sucks to be us
I never dreamed of ever releasing any of my fish in the wild. When I had a fish that I couldn't care for and give away or sell, I put them in the freezer. It's the most humane way I've read to euthanize a fish because they don't feel it. I hope this is true. I do a lot of research on a species before I buy it too, that's the best thing to do with ANY pet. Read up on it and make sure you can foster it for it's entire life.
It sucks but I think brutally eradicating these species is the best choice. They're not extinct where they came from so no need to get rid of them in Florida.
Peacocks and Iguanas would not be very hard to shoot the hell out of them. Just start using them for target practice ffs. When hearts start bleeding, problems will ensue.
We got laws in florida. You can't be shooting guns lawfully in city limits. Lol. And we got cruelty to animals laws. And while you can shoot iguana or peacocks, if you aren't dispatching them humanely you can be charged so you can't be winging them. Also you have to check traps regularly so they don't suffer in them if you trap them. Laws laws laws.
I don't know about peacocks but as far as iguanas whenever it gets 40F and lower, they paralyze and drop and can't move until they warm up. Any time it gets that cold at night I get the mag light and go look around my property and dispatch them and take the legs and tail to eat and throw the rest away and I've told my neighbors. It's kept it under control near me, I rarely see them now in my neighborhood for the last few years. It's like chicken wings or frog legs.
I can't go all over Florida though doing it. And I'm not sure many people know about them paralyzing with it gets cold but they just freeze up and can't move. No chasing involved. However, once they warm up they zip off again and it doesn't stay cold long enough for them to die off.
Bang em on the head hard with a fish bat and it's done. Then harvest what's edible, there's no meat on the head or body they are all organ and bone and skin. But the legs and tail are good eating meat grilled like kabobs or battered and fried.
I do frogs in water bringing the temperature up ever so slightly. They seem happy.
“I’m the only one who can catch a tegu” 🤣😂🤣 what a joke
Cats are also invasive! I don't know if someone just let out their pregnant cat, but I remember not ever seeing stray cats before. All of a sudden kittens and cats appear. My dogs have chased them away, but now that I have been gardening. More birds are coming to my garden. So now I'm trying to plant native plants for them. I've had hummingbirds , butterflies, and honeybees in my area. I'm trying to provide for them and me, but those cats just keep coming. Now I'm going to put a bird house that will be put up right on the side of my garage. There is a big tree I have there, but no branches or anything will be near the birdhouse. That way there won't be any access for the cats. Plus my dogs roam around there too so they would have protection I guess you can say. Some of the birds are smart though. One made a nest like on the top edge on the inside of my garage so no cat can get in there. I leave the garage door open because my dogs sleep in there and get in and out when they need to go to the bathroom. A bird goes to sleep inside the garage where my dogs are sleeping. So there is no way for any cats to get in there. Bird is completely protected while being inside. My dogs are angels they keep the cats away and leave the birds alone. I still have issues though because while my dogs are sleeping is when the cats in my area take advantage.
the cat problem is a big one and it saddens me how people don't see it. Birds are my favourite creatures in the whole world, anyone who cares for them r my friends too
“Amphibians” shows footage of fish
the green lizard is almost gone due to the invasives
Green anode is native. The brown anole is non-native from Bahamas. I see brown anoles all the time every time I step out my door since the 1980s. I've only ever seen 1 green anole in my life and that was about a year ago on my porch also.
The brown anole out competes and out produces the green anole and they eat young green anoles. and they don't stand a chance of surviving. If I spent a day chasing the brown ones just around my house area, I'd probably catch 20-50 of them and there'd be more tomorrow to go after and again the day after its so common. Next common to find are house geckos, also non-native and everywhere. I've never seen the native reef gecko at all.
They forgot to mention the West Coaster and the New Englander.
I was born in Florida & have lived here my whole life. I can tell you that invasion is what best characterizes the State. The Cuban invasion has reeked havoc. Now that most of the State has become a simultaneous suburb of Chicago & San Juan it's a complete cluster phuc. Climate change is the good news because it will take care of anything that can't swim in saltwater.
I bet a whole lot of Cubans would have written wreaked instead of reeked.
@Christopher Darden No , he don't own Florida but I bet if were the other way around you would feel differently about it. South florida used to be a lot different before the mariel boat lift of 1980. Don't get it wrong nobody is saying Cubans are bad people and we definitely love Cuban woman but the influx of millions of refugees into south florida ruined it for everyone else.
Became the rice and beans state
Lmao Imagine that-Cubans-taking back what we stole from them. Next up-Mexicans taking back what was stolen from them. Native Americans will never come together as one and take back what was essentially the rest of the states. Rest easy ...
The Cane Toad is also invading here too.
Lick it
Lastly, thank you for this video. I learned a lot.
It all comes down to being a responsible pet owner! Don't release into the wild.
Lmao! Have you seen the human species lately? Responsibility is not a strong trait.
These animals should never have been pets. They are wild animals and need to stay in their native homes. They are devastating the Everglades and much of South Florida.
That isn’t the real lesson. It’s not to OWN any exotic foreign animal. It should be illegal.
@@chrissnyder3430 and they are not planning to get more responsible any time soon.
Don't buy exotic, non-native "pets" to begin with.
grouper are natural predator of lion fish
Because you have protected areas so they won't let you eradicate them. Love those Beaurocrats.
I remember as a kid swimming at Miami beach and seeing them in the seaweed clumps, they were not big just enough to hide in the clump, this was in the late 70s and early 80s. I thought they were just another tropical local fish. I was told as a kid to be careful from the barbs.
Those were NOT LIONFISH .
This also could have been titled "Literally every animal you see in Florida that doesn't fly or swim exclusively."
Lionfish in fact DO bite live bait presented on hook & line. I have caught them this way.
Also a pole spear is not synonymous with a Hawaiian sling. The Hawaiian sling shoots a free shaft through a simple non-triggered, handheld rubber powered (usually) short piece of wood
Lol
When things turn bad, then they'll do something about it cause it will hurt their pockets.
Yeah but also realize there is a lot of money in predicting catastrophes. If scientist can get politicians to believe in a disaster, the gov. grants start to flow.
Where you been mikey
Can humans also be considered as an invasive species?
The ultimate invasive species
We are, we are only native to Africa.
Any time you hear someone say native American, native brit, native swede.... etc remember we didn't evolve in those places.
I don't think the lion fish and the pythons are doing anything to keep the ecosystem in check...
That's the difference between us and them.
We may be invasive but at least we are intelligent enough to help the ecosystem
ABSOLUTELY !
Only in places that they never were.
we could import whatever eats lion fish from where lion fish come from?
In the Florida Keys and Key West, the primary invasive species is chickens. There are a great nuisance which the local animal control agencies ignore and some people feed. The feeding breeds more and more of them. The crowing early in the morning, often before sunrise, is a great nuisance.
I love the Key West Chickens! But as a chicken owner, I can see how they are a nuisance to non chicken lovers. You all just don't have enough predators to kill them off. Here, between the coyotes, raccoons, opossums, and even dogs can take out hundreds of chickens in a few days.
Invasive dining is the solution 🍴🍛🐡🐠🐓🍴people just need to maket it as the next "Super food" 😂
Is it permitted to "remove" the peacocks??? They are turkeys with feathers......I think in fall, before the Thanksgiving, they can be "removed" very easily in a matter of a few days and people will enjoy and love them...just a different way! and at the same time it will help the environment! :-)
Fun fact: Cats are the most destructive invasive species.
Hmm I wonder why no one talks about this... 🤔
@@ilicgustav9192 i don't know, people just overlook them even though they are the most widespread and evil killers in the world. I will always fight for the birds, cats are a big issue.
What happens when a hurricane releases the 2400 Tegu? Will it be time to start all over? : )
He sells them to people for pets all over the U.S. just not in florida. He traps them, adjusts them to handling and people then sells them off.
Speaking of invasive. Sometimes it’s difficult to understand what’s being said because of the stupid music.
I agree, why the stupid music
@@bobfrost8839 u guys really can't discern them?? strange
Ron Magill is a South Florida LEGEND!
Introduction of king cobra from India can bring down number of pythons, iguanas, Tegus. They have a special taste for snakes and they eat there own kind too, so no need to worry about there number growing.
You know in my educated opinion destroying the lionfish would be the right thing by giving it to something that eats it because the last thing an invasive species needs is another invasive species
I wonder if lion fish could be live trapped. If they could, any fish that ended up in the trap with them could be released unharmed, and the harvest of lion fish could be increased. I'd like to try one, but they are unavailable in my part of the country. So Floridians, get busy and catch more of them so we can eat them here too!
Also, can lion fish be used for sushi? Or do they carry parasites and are therefore inadvisable for using for sushi? If that's the case, I wonder what they would be like pickled? Most mackerel carry parasites and that's why when you get mackerel sushi it it always pickled mackerel. If they don't get parasites, or if they could be pickled, they might turn out to be something really in demand for the sushi market. If the more they are in demand as food, the fewer of them there will be. Win-win situation.
Worst of'em all is the domestic cat...
but wont the other fish evolve to learn to defend themselves??? so you mean that this one species can wipe out others if the others arent immediately prepared to deal with it....wait did evolution stop working all of a sudden?
Tegus vs Pythons eggs 🤔🤔🤔🤔
sounds like a job for bots with spears imaging bots patroling 24/7
@Liberty is not free If we worried about what could go wrong all the time we wouldn’t have landed on the moon ride elevators. etc.
good documentary, background music too loud.
I believe Ron was the Miami Zoo director during the Hurricane Andrew and the restoration process. He had some very big headaches with escaped animals.
Rodney Ervin shown in this video brakes his arm patting himself on the back for catching tegus that are over running Florida and destroying native habitat, then he sends them to people he doesn't know who will certainly someday release them into the wild to destroy other habitats. He is immensely proud of what he does. What would you call what he does?
CAPITALISM . There is only a Small Area so far where they are thriving
I grew up here too. He is right about the Peacocks used to be a few only in the Grove now they are even out in the Redlands abundantly! But thank God we have no Iguanas or Tegus just normal chameleons and lizards, good thing cause if they eat flowers then they would probably eat your fruit trees when flowering, people please stop releasing stuff in our Florida Landscape!!!! ( And they eat our bird eggs too)
Trying to resolve the Lionfish problem that way is like pissing in the ocean to raise the tide? I would like to see someone develop a system using a hose and dredge pump. It would harvest them without physical damage for use as a food source, for man or animal??
So do we remove all the invasive plants? The coconut palm is not a Florida native.
8:52 Tegus Wrangler... What is going to happen when a tornado or hurricane blows thru and wipes out your little Crackerjack enclosure/cages? Back to square one!!! kinda dumb if you think about it. @rodneyirwin
The big pet stores like petsmart shouldn't sell certain fish and reptiles especially in Florida.
Wow! Peafowl are so FREAKING LOUD!!!!!!
I guess Muscovy Ducks are not enough of a problem anymore. Foxes and hawks keep them from spreading.
Just make a lion fish season like you do lobster and bam problem solved! You cant even find a place to pitch a tent during lobster season in flordia 😂
Couple solutions... They are all edible. Florida likes hunting and fishing competitions. Put those together for a few years and populations will decline. Green iguanas are nearly extinct in parts of their native range because they are so tasty...
Two words- stir fry
If you can catch them.
@@tdgdbs1 I can't but my gun can.
Also tempura batter.
Mix with flied lice. (😂).
What I miss most of in all the invasive species is the square grouper. 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😱😱😱
Not one person from up north : I wanna catch a taego
While I am a vegetarian, I am glad to hear they are tasty for others and can be used as food. I think brining the tradition of spear fishing to the area sounds like a good idea. Many people in south Florida come from communities where spear fishing is traditional. Also, people can eat iguanas too. They may be a good sustainable source of healthy meat.
As if there are not enough native species in Florida, but no people think they have the right to take animals out of their natural habitat. Well here you have it, because the novelty wore off
Yes the Cubans!
the government will never care Here in the UK we have messed up the fishing PROPPER
How about if you encourage humans to eat them?
SHUT THE FUCK UP DIRTY OLD MAN!
We all ready do.
grumpy old fart we had one get away the other day here on Minnesota
I need a trapper for Green Iguanas, Ruskin, Hillsborough
I saw a peacock crossing the street wandering about the Hispanic part of town on a random rainy day last year in Las Vegas.
the peacocks sound like Kevin from UP
They hunt peacocks in India, or at least they used to (see writings of Jim Corbett). They just thought of them as big pheasants.
What a world we live in
I heard Lionfish are Really Good to eat. And So are Snakehead . Fish Fry !!!
In Morehead City NC they have Lionfish hunts and then fish fry.
they look more like they should be called zebra fish, get Oprah to remark on their tastiness and they will be gone like sea bass
0:56 I used to work with this Dude's son.
Very true as invasive species dominate over native species. I know the situation, mostly are from anthropogenic activities, controlling population need more hardwork.
What, no mention of the python .
Or manitee
if he spent that on eggs, he's not too slick. eggs are $2 per dozen, or 100 chickens lay 90 eggs per day
They don’t mention that peacocks are a pheasant and they’re very tasty also !
Same size yet tastier than Turkey!
Manatee and peacock (surf and turf ) dinner 🙏
@@shanewells9067 Nah I'd eat a human before a Manatee, to few of those sea cows left and to many humans everywhere. Manatees are native, we snuck in.
Wes S you are saying manity are a native that you snuck in and you would rather eat human??? Are you that stupid?
@@shanewells9067 Manatee are native to florida. Humans are not. This is correct.
And look up sarcasm, it is something intelligent people use to make jokes.
The West Indian manatee migrates into Florida rivers-such as the Crystal, the Homosassa, and the Chassahowitzka rivers, whose headsprings are 22 °C (72 °F) all year. Between November and March each year, about 600 West Indian manatees gather in the rivers in Citrus County, Florida such as the Crystal River National Wildlife Refuge
Groupers eat lion fish in 2020
Really?! On their own?
@@nicklausb yes they a TH-cam video
I thought this was on Florida man.
Why is it even legal to own these exotic animals?
What about the 2 legged invasive species
It's not the eco environment, it's the political environment and big business..then they say ' don't release ' . Charge the people who brought them in, recovery from this should be payed for by them.
My neighbors have peacocks in Pa. one stated she doesn’t know how many she has.
A stone yard a few miles from my house has 5 or 6 peacocks that live on their property. In philadelphia
What are New Yorkers for $800 Alex!!!
Peafowl aren’t invasive, just inconvenient to some cranky people. I’m sure most of the locals love them there
I reside on Guam and am dealing with invasive species from Florida lol . Lion fish recently, sand spurs , cane toads ....ratchets strippers 🤣
I thought this was going tobe a video about Snow Birds.
Peacocks are really yummy. If there are too many of them, they should open a limited hunting season on them. The state could bring in bit $$$ by having a limited season on them. Use the system they do here for deer. Issue a peacock tag good for one bird, and offer enough tags to thin the population down a bit. Since it would be a revenue source you wouldn't want to kill them all off, but you do want to control the numbers to a degree.
As for tegu, I wonder if there might be some commercial value to trapping them out. The skins might find a market in the exotic leather trade, and if the meat is good, there may be a marketable way to prepare the meat. Basically eat them out of existence. The same might also go for iguanas. Hmmm... Maybe I should move to Florida and go into business! Nah. Too many people there already.
You failed to mention the worst invasion of them all....PEOPLE !
Need more scuba trips
Iguanas are edible and delicious. They mostly eat plants so they are pretty clean.
Needs Garlic, though
Because pet owners release these animals into the environment .
Yeah it's really irresponsible isn't it? Morons don't read up about their pet before they buy it and then end up with an animal they can't take care of. Releasing any pet into the wild is a dumb thing to do.
They're delicious to eat so perhaps we should start paying fishermen to get them so that it would be a win-win
They won't bite a hook. U have to spear fish them so fisherman can't catch them only divers.
Humans are the most invasive spices, they are the biggest killer of all.
Peacocks are delicious. "Arros con Peacock"
Deep Fried Peafoel.
With potato salad and baked bbq beans, biquits, iced tea. Coconut Cream Pie for dessert
*arroz
@spanish flu 187 😅🤣😂
Should be talking about the Flora invasive species..... Oops that would mean we can't have our fancy canary islands date palms. Or Mexican limes.....or, etc....
It is time for a big Florida fish fry.
I ate loins fish before i was in Caribbean it taste like chicken.
What eats lionfish? Would introducing it to Florida make things worse?
Would love it as a resident sportsman if Florida would legalize the taking of these animals by airgun & bow within city limits
As well as the taking of feral cats they’re just as destructive
Look on you tube Tim wells hunting with blow gun for eguanas
They forgot to list New Yorkers. They are really beginning to fuck shit up
Why not introduce animals that would target some of these species, you could technically manipulate the environment by simply introducing certain animals to help balance everything.
Invasive species of Florida.....
Florida man!!!
I’m just saying, I read a story of a fiancé getting her arms bit off cus Florida man put the engagement ring in a alligators mouth....And she reached in their to get it........And to be fair...Florida woman😂😂
I looked up "invasive species of Florida"...
It was a picture of DeSantis shaking hands with Donald Trump.
