Good news!! I’m a biologist and that snail at 8:14 is native!! It’s a cellar snail. Invasive snails are a HUGE problem bc they breed so much so it’s great to see a native species in its home in Florida
I heard that African land snails are now being found all over Florida. I worked at a Petco in SC and someone brought one in looking to find a tank for it (not knowing what it was) and after i informed them they told me they recently caught it while visiting family in Florida…needless to say this is going to be detrimental to crops :(
floridian and herper here. that is definitely not a cellar snail, its way too big. that's a brown garden snail and it is indeed invasive, you can tell from the color as well. I catch them often and theyre always on brick walls.
@@Dodl1 I was born in Florida and lived there for 13 years. We always messed with the fire ants because of the amount of times we watched them kill native anoles, field mice, etc. Native animals. We couldn't interfere because that would mean reaching our whole hands into fire ant mounds. They suck. It is in fact a staple of Floridian lives to mess their homes up and kill them on sight
Those fire ants with wings WERE actually future kings and queens! (Not that the males live long enough to be king.) Those are the breeding elates who will go on to establish new colonies.
I’m a domestic Muscovy owner and their seriously the most adaptable ducks I’ve seen! We’re in Canada and last week it was -50 and they just took it like champs!!! 😮😊 it’s no surprise their invasive! They do have the cutest personalities so it’s sad their kill on site in some states in the US but they are wreaking havoc so I get it 😢
@@jamieblack3235 they are the best dual purpose homestead duck! They taste good, their eggs are great, they reproduce rapidly and at high fertility rates, and they don’t make quacking noises and they aren’t insufferably loud! Their amazing
A city I live near has a pond full of Muscovy ducks and there's signs all over saying to drive slow ducks xing. And there's a fine to pay if you kill one of them.
God, yes, about the cats. Even besides the very real problems that their predation and breeding cause, i always judge people who don't keep their cats inside. My grandparents keep getting outside cats and either don't realize or don't care that the reason none of their cats live very long is BECAUSE they keep them outside. I keep my cats inside because i love them and couldn't bear anything to happen to them. It baffles me that some people get a cat but don't care enough about its safety to keep it inside where it is safe. And then where i live people dont bother to get male cats spayed because if it gets a female pregnant, hey, its not our problem! And as a result there are soo many strays and ferals. Its so irresponsible. There's my soapbox for the day lol. Love the herping videos!!
The only way to be certain you've killed off a fire ant nest is to pour boiling water down the nest entrance and keep doing it until the water no longer flows into the ground in the area and there aren't any more bubbles.
I feel you Emily, sometimes I’ll just lock myself in my room for a week until I’m ready to come out of my cave. I think that’s just the normal 13 yr old me though. Keep up the good work your videos are great and educational in a fun way!!❤
I've been bingeing Snake Discovery content I missed for a while, but I'll stop to watch a new one!! What a neat video idea! Edit: the Burmese Pythons are a concern, right? I guess I'll go with that.
I got a wart from being stung by a fire ant for the first time so did one of my friends. I also have pet a wild manatee before. I would choose to eradicate the Burmese python.
Im ok with feeding as long as you are also getting them fixed because then you are replacing wildlife with another food source, but feeding to feed? Nope
If the cats are already spayed/neutered, there's actually nothing wrong with feeding them. Especially if you're able to tame some of them and get them into homes. My friend's dad had a mom cat whose trust he gained by feeding her, and she ended up bringing both litters to him, which he then managed to get them to a shelter and adopted out (the second generation of kittens he was actually able to accustom them to people since the first were a little jittery). I think mom got adopted too because she was an absolute sweetheart and just loved to be pet. But yeah if you're not doing any kind of spay/neuter and you're just feeding the cats with no intention of socializing them for adoption, that's a problem.
There's a really interesting study happening in Canada right now on whether feeding feral colonies reduces predation on wildlife! It makes sense that it would but we'll have to wait and see the results. And yes you definitely also need TNR happening at the same time. As much for the sake of the cats than the wildlife, constantly having kittens leads to so much suffering.
If the people feeding them are also taking steps to stop the colony expanding (getting them nuetered, treating or removing sick cats, and finding homes for friendly cats) then it can actually be a good thing.
Emily you have been a huge inspiration to me! I used to be terrified of snakes to the point I couldn’t look at even video but you helped me realize not all snakes/reptiles are dangerous! I hope to get a reptile and maybe even a snake one day
I'm also going to say cats, despite having 12 rescues myself. People need to stop leaving them out and releasing them, and definitely need to spay and neuter the ones they have!
The closest relative to manatees are dugongs, actually! They're both in the order Sirenia, but while manatees are fresh water species, dugongs are salt water.
One invasive species in Florida (besides the Burmese pythons) I would eradicate: the Lionfish. I feel like they aren’t talked about enough as being an issue even though they destroy so many native species in the Gulf. I would also prefer if people would keep their cats 100% indoors, but I also understand barn cat situations (as long as owners are responsible it can work). Not only are indoor cats safer for birds… but also the cats themselves. My cat (currently curled up by my leg) wants absolutely nothing to do with the outside… even our screened in pool area.
I love cats and live in Germany. Whenever I watch videos about the feral cat situation in America, it breaks my heart. We are not perfect here, but we don't have kittens birthing kittens and dying of diseases on the street. Obviously their impact on other animals is a huge factor as well, it's just a horrible situation all in all. 😢😢
:( It is really sad. It seems to be much harder to curtain in areas that stay relatively warm through the winter (like the southern US), because they keep having high numbers of kittens year round, which doesn't happen in places with colder winters.
That and people tend to get super defensive and mean and just over all unpleasant when you tell them they should really keep their cats inside. How hard is it to understand that it's not only safer to keep your cat inside but also that outdoor cats are an ecological menace.
I live in SWFL and cane toads are the bane of my existence. They are *everywhere* in my area. No amount of organized hunts that euthanize hundreds of them each time ever seem to make a difference. And not only are they impacting native species, but their toxin is dangerous to dogs too. Ugh.
Not Florida, but here in Massachusetts Asian Shore Crabs are _everywhere!_ In high school when we took a field trip to the beach, people just kept finding them. I had a bucket with like thirty or so by the end.
Related to elephants, yes, but there is a closer relation which belongs to the same order (Sirenia), namely the dugong, which is found in shallow seas of the Indo-Pacific region.
Another thought - I wonder if the mistaken idea that manatees are not a native species comes from people confusing dugongs with them. Both look superficially alike, but there are distinct anatomical differences between the two species.
my mom dealt with fire ants when she was living in texas for college... she was taking a shower and there were a bunch of fire ants on her towel and got stung all over her head, face and neck... she hardley ever swears but used every swear word in the book when that happened!!
11:30 She's right, the fire ants with wings are the "kings and queens". They're the alates; they fly away from the nest, mate, and then the females become queens of their own ant colony.
As far as I know they haven't done that much ecological harm other than displacing out local green anoles, but I am tempted to say the brown anole just because I love my little green buddies. Also I like to recommend that next time you're in Florida that you check out the Brevard Zoo. Great little zoo that I think is absolutely worth the trip.
My bf lives in Florida and I'm 99% sure it was cuban tree frogs living around his front porch. One got massive, solidly over 3 inches, and was eating everything in sight. Even its own offspring 😦
I realize that manatees are TYPICALLY slow moving, but when one is swimming directly to you, it seems faster and more intimidating than expected. I mean they are like giant puppies.
You guys should collab with that going guy who goes herping barefoot and yoinks things he catches. He's on TH-cam and he goes around the Everglades catching invasive speechless, booping critters, and splashing his bare toes at swamp puppies
For hypothetically eliminating an invasive species, I think one that no amount of programs can get rid of would be the best pick. I think the ants fit that pretty well. Cats can do a lot of damage but we have programs to mitigate that between making people more aware of responsible pet ownership, requiring adopted cats to be indoor only and the work done to rehome and sterilize feral colonies. They're also not the type of invasive species to establish themselves outside of cities, so the issue is more localised than with other species. The ducks seem like they could be dealt with similarly since they're also domestic animals that seem easy to tame. Stuff like boars I think are dealt with hunting programs.
Adding a bit on the talk about cats: This is why TNR is so important for cat colonies. So many kittens are born yearly that it's best to cut them off at the source, by humanely capturing the breeding populations, spaying them, and either returning them to their colony, or relocating them entirely. It gives the cats a healthier life, stops the population from skyrocketing any farther, and in turn helps the local ecosystem when those cats do eventually pass on. And people who let their cats be outdoor cats are irresponsible cat owners who are too lazy to clean up a cat's litter box. There are SO MANY better alternatives to outdoor cats, including, harness training, catios, indoor enrichment, and idk NOT OWNING A CAT?!?!
Omg 😱 thank u guys this video has taught me something I never knew I love too learn about nature it’s always amazing thanks guys keep teaching I will be watching ❤❤❤❤
1:24 mhmm as a kid I once accidentally peed on a fire ant hill on a camping trip (it was the middle of the night) worst mistake ever I will always remember the pain from that 😢😂
As a owner of a Rabbitry, rabbits are so hard to breed!! Lol from temp to light hrs everything affects them, normally rabbits have around 2 litters per year
I have 2 cats and they are indoors,when I talked to some of my coworkers and I told them keeping a cat out means you don't care about the eco system bc they are killing birds they shouldn't kill they said:"who cares? They are just birds" so it's goes to show how ppl don't care about keeping the cats inside and safe
There is one factor I think people can be too quick to judge on the outdoor cat thing. Yes, normally, keep your pet cats in, but I live on farm land, so our barn cats move around for pest control. These cats are often not fully into humans, but you give them a home so they still get food and shelter.
Sadly you didn’t cover fish. There are tons of it that are invasive. Lion fish being that big one. But for me it boar. They breed fast, will sometimes charge at people, attack animal like dogs, destroy crop and land. Worst it they can roam from state to state
I love cats & absolutely adore them. But yeah they're very prolific hunters. My indoor only long haired spoiled rotten calico princess once woke me up at 6am sounding like a demon cat just because she didn't want to share HER mouse with her brother. I think shes still ticked i traded for canned food.
I was still watching at the end so ... some of us do watch everything. I would prefer the training of humans who own cats. The feral hog can tear a person apart and has been known to be aggressive even if you are not close to it. Especially for children, I think they would be my highest consideration. Or the fire ants. Hogs. I've seen "Old Yeller" so that calls to me more. Take care and have fun! L8tr g8trs.
If I could eradicate one invasive species from the Florida ecosystem, I would probably choose the Burmese python, because of the havoc it's wrecking in the mammal world of Florida.
So….i do care about the wildlife, BUT…my cat goes outside, so if a Biologist sees this, tell me if this is fine please! -She’s not allowed to go outside at night -she was a collar with the phone number and her name -she is most likely microchipped (I’ve have to check) -she isn’t allowed to go out the front -she can’t get out of the backyard -she is too old to hunt anymore, although sometimes a lizard or two, (rarely nowadays) -she can’t go outside at dusk and early morning (aka when birds are most active) -the last time she caught a bird was 4-5 years ago
Good news!! I’m a biologist and that snail at 8:14 is native!! It’s a cellar snail. Invasive snails are a HUGE problem bc they breed so much so it’s great to see a native species in its home in Florida

Ahh, the staple of any Floridian childhood: destroying fire ant mounds, watching them go crazy, and inevitably getting stung
That little girl is going to LOVE videos of casting fire ant mounds with aluminium. 😂
Childhood? I still thoroughly enjoy doing this as an adult 😂
Why do you do that exactly?
@@Dodl1 I guess it would be kinda fun, and they're harmful so its not entirely a bad thing

I go with the python because they get big enough to kill native crocodilians and wild cats.
I got a wart from being stung by a fire ant for the first time so did one of my friends. I also have pet a wild manatee before. I would choose to eradicate the Burmese python.
I'm 100% with you on feral cats Emily. Some people choose to feed feral cat colonies every day which just causes more problems for native wildlife.

I would love to have a Job working with all types of animals!
The Cuban tree frog was on a highly invasive tree here in Florida; melaleuca.
I once fed two Muscovy ducks two months ago I have not seen them since November to January

Omg 😱 thank u guys this video has taught me something I never knew I love too learn about nature it’s always amazing thanks guys keep teaching I will be watching ❤❤❤❤
Emily and Ed, the one invasive species I'd eradicate without a second thought is the Zika virus mosquito Aedes aegypti.

As a owner of a Rabbitry, rabbits are so hard to breed!! Lol from temp to light hrs everything affects them, normally rabbits have around 2 litters per year
whales were once some horsey-thing that got into water and turned blue or something. they were sooooo big!

IM GOING TO YOUR ZOO I LOVE YOUR SHOW IV BEEN WACHING SENSE I WAS 2
I LOVE THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO SO SO MUCH
I love the ugly ducks! My family lives in St. Augustine and they're all over. Everyone in the family hates them.
THANK YOU FOR ALL OF YOUR VIDEOS!!!!
Those ducks are everywhere here in Florida 😂
We are fire ants in North Carolina too!
For me it would be the wild boar. I heard they really do a lot of damage around Florida.
Awesome Job Abby! And I didn't know there were so many invasive species
I’m currently in Fort Lauderdale and trying to find the areas where I can find all these cool wild or invasive animals
Are dugongs not closer related to manatees than elephants? I know they're all in that family but that surprises me
Thank you for the educational video=3 Have a nice week, Snake Discovery=3
Sadly you didn’t cover fish. There are tons of it that are invasive. Lion fish being that big one. But for me it boar. They breed fast, will sometimes charge at people, attack animal like dogs, destroy crop and land. Worst it they can roam from state to state
I was today years old when i found out manatees have NAILS ON THEIR FLIPPERS?!
I love cats & absolutely adore them.
But yeah they're very prolific hunters. My indoor only long haired spoiled rotten calico princess once woke me up at 6am sounding like a demon cat just because she didn't want to share HER mouse with her brother.
I think shes still ticked i traded for canned food.
You guys should have gone after some fish too. I'm sure you could have pulled a snakehead from the water.
The manatee’s actual closest relatives are actually dugongs. And they didnt evolve, they were created the way they are now
A dolphin! You've been blessed!
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaahhhhh! ANTS! I'm never retiring to Florida 😭
No fish. Of course you can do a long video on invasive fish. Like common plecos and snakeheads.
Non-American here, and I’m curious about the amount of invasive species in Florida. Why are there so many in this state out of the 50?
i think we can release endangered sumatran tigers in florida they will thrive.
Great video!
I love your videos ❤
We all watch to the end. We totally saw the shaming of Ed.
Also are you going to the Reptile Expo isn Rothschild on the 25th of February?
Rothschild Wisconsin At Cedar Creek Mall
What does destroying the fire ants mounds actually do? they won't just rebuild them?
10:06 Humans 🙃
You guys make such great videos.
we live in california please try jeffs in colusa but we have tons of fire ants
Rip golf cart

An idea for your next trip to florida - a colab with the floridian everglades guy
That camera is niceeeeee
Surprised about the comments on eradicating invasive species, that you didn't think about the boa's that are in Florida.
If I could eradicate one invasive species from the Florida ecosystem, I would probably choose the Burmese python, because of the havoc it's wrecking in the mammal world of Florida.
So….i do care about the wildlife, BUT…my cat goes outside, so if a Biologist sees this, tell me if this is fine please!
-She’s not allowed to go outside at night
-she was a collar with the phone number and her name
-she is most likely microchipped (I’ve have to check)
-she isn’t allowed to go out the front
-she can’t get out of the backyard
-she is too old to hunt anymore, although sometimes a lizard or two, (rarely nowadays)
-she can’t go outside at dusk and early morning (aka when birds are most active)
-the last time she caught a bird was 4-5 years ago
Cats for sure or the Burmese pythons
As a Florida born and raised I would take out the hogs and the fire ants or as I like to call them the fireballs of the insect world
I'm pretty sure that fire ants are invaders anywhere they live, even in the places they are native to. Those stinkers are nasty!
I would get rid of the berms from the Everglades
