I think that as long as species expand their range naturaly they shouldnt be called invasive. It would be unfair to cattle egret if we tried to eradicate them from areas in which they got to by themselves.
Another honorable mention: Red-Eared Slider Turtles. Native to the gulf south of the United States, they now live on every continent (excluding Antartica). They’re even invasive within other parts of North America they were never found before (such as where I live in Colorado). Its thought to be part due to the pet trade, as theyre pretty popular pet turtles, as well as part due to turtle farms farming them for meat (mainly in Asia).
Only because of human hunting of wolves; the grey wolf existed everywhere the red fox dis, plus the arctic, Africa north of the tropics, Mexico and central America and - arguably - even reached Australia (depends on how "wild" you regard dingoes to be). Wolves were also native to Great britain and Ireland before foxes were introduced (long, long ago when people wore sandals and skirts were manly)
Apparently they are relatively rare in Ukraine, so much so that it made the news when the Russians took one away from a zoo there. Or maybe the racoon is common in UKR and this zoo racoon was a local celebrity animal.
In the Pacific Northwest of the US the nutria was introduced into the Columbia river basin. Yes, for fur. They appear to pets of beavers, inhabiting the beaver den with beaver families.
They are in a desert preserve park here and multiplying like crazy. They have no natural predators in this location. Maybe when they start taking people's pets (dogs and cats), things will change.
Besides the obvious, I think certain birds like Juncos, Robins, Valley Quail, Chickadees, & Turkey would absolutely take over within just a few decades.
I've always wondered how black bears would do in Australia. They might all just die of heatstroke, but at the same time I don't think there would be any land predators that could compete with them.
Let's not be too harsh on invasives, nature after all is all about natural selection, survival of the fittest, and these guys have shown that they have what it takes to stay on top!
One species of bird that begun expanding on its own is streptopelia decaocto which is a kind of a light grey turtledove. It originated from the south coast of the Caspian sea and throughout the 19th and 20th centuries it expanded into the Balkans and then into the rest of Europe. When I was a kid, around 1980 it could only be found into the Greek cemeteries, and it's call seemed to match the sad mood of them. But later on they were well established all around our cities and much of the countryside.
I just love your graphics, showing animals spreading!! The nutria with wings was so funny. I think the barn owl has also self-introduced itself all over the world. Certainly, some have now made their way to New Zealand. They are being watched carefully, bu generally speaking, self-introduced animls are accepted as legitimate colonisers.
The domestic cat and its feral populations is one of the most invasive species. They can be found globally wherever humans have gone, and they have huge inpacts on the environments and native species. Like the cattle egret, the nine-banded armadillo has migrated and spread drastically over the course of human history, just not globally. Within the past 150 years, the nine-banded armadillo has spread into the United States. They continue to spread both northward into North America and southward into South America. Coyotes are another that have spread over human history were they have now migrated eastward into the eastern US and eastern Canada, northward into Canada and Alaska, and southward into Central America.
I see cattle egrets here all the time. My favorite encounter was when I was walking along the roadside near a salt farm, and an egret just kinda suddenly landed right in front of me, and just stared at me. I stopped walking, stared back, and jokingly thought "it's over, the bavi overlords are against me". The staring competition lasted for, I guess, half a minute, before I started walking forward again, and it flew away as soon as I did.
I could walk to the spot where the first racoons were released in Germany in 1934, it's like 10 miles. Yeah, they're doing really well over here. No fear, because of missing predators and they all look severely overweight. 😐My buddy tried to chase one away with a hose and the little chunklord just took a shower in it, while yapping at him. They did some minor damage to my barn, but i can't hurt them and as long as they leave the cats alone they don't bother me.
Here in the states, Wisconsin specifically, they are also quite chunky. Wish Europe and Japan success in controlling this problem. When raccoons get out of hand, the toll they can take on the environment can be severe. Ground and bush nesting birds in particular are very vulnerable to nocturnal nest predation. If birds protest, they become a meal. Eggs or chicks become dessert. Also raccoons are carriers of all kinds of nasty disease and parasites. Fascinating intelligent adaptive animals to be sure, but an environmental disaster when they are in the wrong place.
@@realityawayfromreality3494 They are kind of considered naturalised over here. They get hunted and trapped, but there are no extermination plans, because it's deemed impossible. They compete with the red fox, who is also a major disease carrier, mainly rabies and there's still plenty. The bigger problem is the american squirrel, the grey ones. Basically it's better at anything our native red squirrel does, who are already not doing well.
The Australian white Ibis is taking full advantage of the human environment. Originally it was a wetland bird but it is now a massive scavenger. It is also nicknamed the "bin chicken" for its habit of raiding bins for human scraps.
Interesting video Tsuki🙂🙂. Pigeons are found all over the world, and they adapt to change well. Maybe they could take over too🤔🤔😲. What I’ve noticed is the more successful an animal becomes, the less keen people are on them😲. House Sparrows are adored by people in Britain, but I visited France and the French tell me that they are considered as a pest because there are too many and are encouraged not to feed them😲.
Tsuki mate, What about the least adaptable animals. Of course this is a hard one to cover as these kinds of animals wouldn't be extant anyway. I like raptors and I'm guesssing the Phillipine eagle would say FI if it had to live on other shores. Introducing such a large dangerous bird would be out of the question too!
When the title came up, I instantly thought 'we are far and away the worst invasive animal species '.....so only second and third are up for grabs. We are victims of our greed and success, we can't leave anything alone ☹
A science promoter was once asked "What animal do you think will replace humans if we just disappeared?" He said he was rooting for the racoon. Well, no me. Yes, they are clever, intelligent, resourceful, etc. However, they are forest demons. If they achieved global dominance and developed nuclear weapons, some racoon would push the dang button "just because!"
@@glenncordova4027 check that info. coyotes originally started there but are incentral America. Europe countrieslike Germany France and Spain. and more. they are in snow wetland cities and more
I would say the red fox is the most adaptable animal capable of taking over many different regions and environments. Also the Grey and Timber wolf are highly adaptable and capable, even living in cities, but humans tend to wipe them out with anu given opportunity.
But the European rabbits have adapted and settled themselves into Germany and other parts of Europe. They do get eaten by foxes and wolves, which is why they’re not considered as invasive as they are in Australia.
Somebody give TH-cam a new dictionary. The one they're using for subtitles contains nothing that isn't an 'everyday' word, and they even get them wrong sometimes. This article is about cattle egrets, hardly difficult to spell, and they have come up with all sorts of variations on the spelling, except the right one. If you'd never heard of them, you wouldn't even know what they were talking about.
Otter traslates to "nutria" in spanish. So as you said Tsuki, they are easily confused whit other animals. Becouse of that it's called "nutria" reffering to an otter (there are native otters, called others names, for example the "huillín", native from Patagonia), but the correct name for what you called "nutria" would be "coipo", for future references. But yeah, it's not the cientific name, so you can also cale it "nutria", no wait... ¡the cientific name it is: coipus! HAHA. Check Mate. The name is Coipo. By the way there is this Chilean author called Juan Ignacio Molina, that as manny others were discovering the "theory of evolution" at the same time. And aparently it was the one that named the Coipo. And named myocastor coyous (for the similaritys whit the Castor, aka, Beaver). Castor apears to be a latin name. But I will sugest to serch for Castor in greek mithology, there is an amazing simiarity whit the creature and the Castor persona in the mith. that's how far my knowledge goes. Hope that help.
What exactly is the natural habit of humans? "Invasive and have destroyed most of the planet"? Do you understand how little of the planet we actually inhabit?
I think that as long as species expand their range naturaly they shouldnt be called invasive. It would be unfair to cattle egret if we tried to eradicate them from areas in which they got to by themselves.
So humans aren’t invasive?
I’m sorry but it sounds like that’s what you mean
i agree like humans we expanded are range naturaly we shouldnt be call invasive @@aidinniplays
Amen
It’s likely they would not have expanded without our influence
Hello Tsuki..great video once again. with love from South Africa
Thanks for the support :)

You can also thank the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (who are Red Sliders) for popularizing them as pets.
The red fox has the widest natural distribution of any canid. They're not very common in US cities but there are at least 100,000 in London.
Only because of human hunting of wolves; the grey wolf existed everywhere the red fox dis, plus the arctic, Africa north of the tropics, Mexico and central America and - arguably - even reached Australia (depends on how "wild" you regard dingoes to be). Wolves were also native to Great britain and Ireland before foxes were introduced (long, long ago when people wore sandals and skirts were manly)
We have foxes all over the place here. They're really common in the suburbs of the Eastern US. I see them all the time when driving or walking dogs.
Coyotes are probably the reason for less urban foxes.
@@tessat338that's what I thought,USA and my country Canada have tons of foxes.
Raccoon are everywhere in Germany, Japan and Caucasus mainly Azerbaijan Armenia, Georgia
Apparently they are relatively rare in Ukraine, so much so that it made the news when the Russians took one away from a zoo there. Or maybe the racoon is common in UKR and this zoo racoon was a local celebrity animal.
They are over there now
@@tracydukeplump I know right
@@raylopez99 to be fair tho, the Russians rescued it from a zoo, they didn't take it from the wild
You know what other animals have also taken over the world: The Norway Rat, the Black Rat, and the House Mouse.
Well black rat tries that, but population has dropped much, because it's larger cousin altought they are still found alomst everywere.
It is ironic that humans call other species "invasive"
No animal should be called invasive since they naturally get to their position. Humans to.
Technically, we're not invasive species because we naturally migrated to every part of the world.
That’s what I’m saying! Us humans can be a destructive species not truly an invasive one.
These guys are an avengers level threat.
Thanks!
Thank you once again :)
Would love a part 2 :)

Shawn Woods of the mousetrap Monday youtube channel caught one in a video and he and his family made a meal out of it.
Surprised rats & pigeons didn't make the list.
yes they would definitely fit in this grouping but i wanted to focus on the more obscure species
Maybe next time?
😊 😊 😊
And also.... Cockroaches
@@ZeroDarkness- mosquitos
The coyote (Canis latrans) could make it onto your next such list. They are nearly as adaptable as raccoons.
They are in a desert preserve park here and multiplying like crazy. They have no natural predators in this location. Maybe when they start taking people's pets (dogs and cats), things will change.
Coyotes are everywhere here in Costa Rica, and i think they can reach Colombia if they manage to cross the Darien's jungle in Panama🐺
The title startled me 😂
You can add the red fox, red-eared slider, common carp, American bullfrog, mosquitofish and feral cat to this list.
Video idea: American animals that would destroy Australia’s ecosystem.
Besides the obvious, I think certain birds like Juncos, Robins, Valley Quail, Chickadees, & Turkey would absolutely take over within just a few decades.
Literally all of them. Except maybe alligators, since Aussie crocs have that niche on lock
@@TheRustya Salty would absolutely destroy and alligator but an alligator would make a meal out of a freshy
I've always wondered how black bears would do in Australia. They might all just die of heatstroke, but at the same time I don't think there would be any land predators that could compete with them.
Grey squirrel
Let's not be too harsh on invasives, nature after all is all about natural selection, survival of the fittest, and these guys have shown that they have what it takes to stay on top!
I would say ants, but let's be real they've been took over the world
Never seen an ant toke before...

*Realizes he's human too*
But tbh he does have a point 😅
Humans have no problem 💩💩💩💩their nest.
Raccoons here are called Trash Pandas.
Very cool
I live in Japan and I’ve seen plenty of nutrias near my apartment. Oddly no raccoons though. 8:03
I wonder if the rascal the raccoon show popularised raccoons in Japan?
I'm still very curious as to WHY the cattle egret suddenly started to expand during the 19th century.
I see cattle egrets here all the time. My favorite encounter was when I was walking along the roadside near a salt farm, and an egret just kinda suddenly landed right in front of me, and just stared at me. I stopped walking, stared back, and jokingly thought "it's over, the bavi overlords are against me". The staring competition lasted for, I guess, half a minute, before I started walking forward again, and it flew away as soon as I did.
Coyotes, hawks, rabbits, rats, seagulls
There is nothing like opening a garbage chute and coming face-to-face with a trash panda.
I could walk to the spot where the first racoons were released in Germany in 1934, it's like 10 miles. Yeah, they're doing really well over here. No fear, because of missing predators and they all look severely overweight. 😐My buddy tried to chase one away with a hose and the little chunklord just took a shower in it, while yapping at him.

Surprised you didn't mention House Sparrows, Barn Owls, Black-Crowned Night Herons, or Red Foxes.
I want to go to Germany and see the raccoons now
Finally showing my beautiful home country of Guyana some love for our beautiful animals we have there 🇬🇾 🙏🏽

Other animals including the fox, rabbit, otter and deer.
Nutria or Coypu had become well established in Eastern England since the 1930's but have been eradicated since about 1990.
I hate when they use the word nutria for a coypu in English. Nutria means otter in Spanish and that’s a totally different animal.
What about starlings, English sparrows and pigeons (rock doves)/
The eastern grey squirrel Is also slowly taking over the world
The house and the Eurasian tree sparrow both are very successful in many different continents.
I can think of 3 invasive animals to add to the list: rats, feral hogs, and feral cats.
The chicken lives everywhere people do, except Antarctica. There are over 3 chickens for every human on Earth.
6:34 Wosh bears ? 😅 Wasch they the a is pronounced hard
Id say American Gray Squirrel has potential to. Nearly wiped out the Red Squirrel in the UK!
I for one welcome our new raccoon overlords.
You forgot the two most widespread wild animals that used Humans: Sewer Rats and House Mice🐀🐭

coyote. they can adapt to any climate and are in every city in America. you showed it but didn't include it why?

I guess you could say rats and mice weren't deliberately spread by humans they just hitched a ride lol
There is a very large population of nutria living in Oregon.
Cats,rats,coyotes,house sparrows,rock doves,starlings,pythons...Ok,stopping here.
Would love to see this type of video, but exclusively ants
6:26 maybe the animetuber will make video about how raccoon become invasive species in japan bacause of anime Araiguma Rasukaru/rascal the raccoon
What would've happened if the raccoons were introduced to Australia?
What about pigeons, sparrows, wld ducks and crows? They are all over the world, who knows since when?
Skunks in cities and coyotes and now even the CoyWolf in NA
I would say the red fox is the most adaptable animal capable of taking over many different regions and environments. Also the Grey and Timber wolf are highly adaptable and capable, even living in cities, but humans tend to wipe them out with anu given opportunity.
Raccoons are so Based.
Egret is great .
FUR FARMS??? Even now? Do they still exist? I thought they were outlawed. Everywhere. 😢
