Fun fact: Jaguars once lived in Florida, during the late pleistocene. In fact, a lot of typical central american cats once called Florida home. This includes the ocelot and the margey.
This may sound childish, but I have a video suggestion. (I guess technically a second one) Basically animals from different continents/countries that would benefit a completely different ecosystem. Sort of like a mirror opposite of this little series. Granted, this would probably be based on hypothesis
It would probably have to be animals that are closely related to species that went extinct recently. In any other case they are far more likely to become invasive than helpful.
Jaguars would also prey on the feral pigs in Florida, it wouldn't be that different from the peccaries, and there are feral pigs in parts of South America that also have jaguar
@@willsalomone4137 I do agree they wouldn't necessarily be invasive as a species The jaguars that did inhabit Florida during the Pleistocene was Panthera onca augusta/Pleistocene North American Jaguar, one of the 2 prehistoric subspecies
The good thing with this topic is that you can also do versions with animals from different continents. It makes me really curious how Florida en the Everglades will look like within 50 years
There are Arapaimas/ Pirarucus in Florida already. It also survives in non tropical environments, it was released in Northern Sao Paulo / South Minas Gerais, and they r thriving
There are not arapaima in Florida lol. Only one dead individual has been found on the shore of a body of water… If anything proving they would not survive if introduced
id say black caiman would be just as, if not more destructive to the everglades, as theyd compete with native alligators (black caiman are the largest alligatoroids) without performing the absolutely necessary duty of creating alligator holes. there are also two very large snakes in south america, arguably the largest of their respective clades: the green anaconda (well known) and the bushmaster (biggest viper alive) though the latter would likely be less destructive. SA's ants, however, have proven themselves. the argentine is already the most populous species of ant, and fire ants have spread quite well, though it is perhaps the army ant which will prove most devastating should it escape.
There are so few wild animals left everywhere and every back porch in Florida has at least 4 shotguns leaning against the walls. The locals would be more than excited to turn any animal that strays into their backyard that isn't supposed to be there into a stuffed statue, or any animal that is for that matter. Wouldn't worry about it.
Piranhas could be worse When it come to jaguars, the map about the current range is at least outdated Brazilian laws require farmers to keep from 20% to 80% of their private lands covered with native vegetation This mosaic of crop fields intertwined with jungles or cerrados proved to be an habitat to jaguars just as effective as the original vegetation, and now they already returned to many places where was once extinct There are numerous videos of jaguars and pumas preying on crop fields of soy, corn and others By the way, they are very territorial, what keep them to overpopulate If you want to see how is living with jaguars and pumas, just search for "onca em casa" (jaguar at home) on TH-cam
i almost wonder if dropping of some jaguars into the everglades might not be a good thing. condition them to seek snakes and see if they cannot mess up the constrictors.
Do a Destruction video on Europe v. Asia - the border is arbitrary, but it does exist. For example... could a takin, tahr or argali compete in the Alps (and outcompete ibexes)? Could raccoon dogs thrive in Europe (they already do in areas like Belarus and parts of Poland(?) or Finland(?)? Also: What other ecosystem could the pandas thrive in?
Some arapaima have already been found in Florida including one that was supposedly 14 feet long that was found dead so unfortunately they may have already started a population in Florida
@@Specogecko well I said supposedly because I heard this from a wildlife podcast that it was 14 feet. Plus just because one was found doesn’t necessarily mean that there anymore or rather that there aren’t more on the way.
During the ice age, a subspecies of jaguar (Panthera onca augusta) used to live on florida, its fossils are very common there, so I highly doubt jaguars would destroy the ecosystem, it would be more like s reintroduction.
Unless the ecosystem now is EXACTLY the same now as it was then , and if that extinct relative was EXACTLY like modern day jaguars then , yeah smh but neither of those things are true so......
@@CheatsythePimp2for one , there's no megafuana present any longer , so I'm quite sure that jaguars would decimate prey sources much like the invasive pythons now.
@@waaahhhl2614 jags did not hunt big Caymans either, the usually prey small and medium size Black Cayman and Orinoco Crocodile (who is bigger and stronger than the Gators), Jaguars don't even come close to the big ones lol
@@CrownofMischief As of right now, currently only males wandering into the area, which is somewhat expected when the range of the male jaguar is larger than the female's.
Jaguars would alter Florida's ecosystem, but given that until a few thousand years ago they ranged as far north as Indiana, they may actually benefit Florida and the Southeast. (They may have been present in Florida only a few hundred years ago)
i remember reading awhile back that people wanted to reintro Jags into florida and even introduce ocelots--also they found arapaima in Florida if i could tag articles i would
Jaguars, as shown in fossils, used to live in Florida. It is possible that, because of the short time frame they went extinct, they could reoccupy a vacant niche. As well, Jaguars are slowly making their way northwards into North America.
The capybara is an obvious pick for possible success in florida, they are quick to reproduce and much used to crocodilian predators. Other animals that would fare? Anacondas, piranhas, wolf fishes (Hoplias sp.), cetopsis catfish and candiru are some that come to mind. Redtail catfish too, maybe?
@@Sun-God2 A small population of capybaras has establishedcitself in Florida already. And there used to be a couple of North American capybara species until maybe 10,000 years ago or so.
❤️💖 I hate to disagreed with you, buddy. Jaguars 🐆 did once lived in Florida, during the late pleistocene according to the fossil records. In fact, a lot of typical central american cats once called Florida home. This includes the ocelot and the margey. I believed jaguars should be reintroduced to Florida because they can control invasive species in Florida like Burmese pythons 🐍, feral hogs 🐗🐷🐖, iguanas 🦎, tegus 🦎, monitor lizards 🦎, and other species of fish 🐟 and they could served as apex predator in the Florida Everglades. 😃😀😄😁😊😉 👍🏻 💖❤️
While Jaguars would alter the ecosystem, given they actually lived there until fairly recently I don’t think they would really destroy it, I’d argue it would be a reintroduction more than anything (and it would probably do more good given the many feral hogs and large snakes currently there).
This is probably the only video where I have to disagree on one of the chosen animals. The Jaguar used to live in North America and it would be a reintroduction to there rather than an invasion. However, I can agree on the Arapaima and the Giant Otter being invasive.
Two other South American that could be a problem are the marmosets (Callithrix sp.) and the capuchin monkeys (Sapajus sp.) both versatile primates that are a problem in many regions here after being introduced (both urban, rural and wild areas)
@@Angela-pj5xy what does that have to do with what I said, monkeys can be a vector for rabies but so are many other animals…. Also I never said the moneys are not a safety risk
Jaguars had a much larger distribution in the United States as recently as the 1920s. Anecdotal evidence suggests they could've been found as far east as Louisiana. I don't know how well they'd do in Florida, now, considering how much we make life difficult for Florida panthers, but arapaima and giant otters would wreck shit in the Everglades.
I disagree with you regarding the Jaguar. It would fit perfectly into ecosystem, especially dealing with a lot of the invasive as well as further north in place like Louisiana and the Carolinas with their feral pig problem problem
im honestly suprised that the Arampaima is not already invasive in florida because they are sold in pet storest and i would habe thought that many idiots just bought them cuz they look cool and then released them into the into just some random lake or canal the same way most invasive fish got to florida in the first place
Every time the Florida Everglades get brought up, i can't help but think of how much people have altered & messed up how the Everglades functions. It used to have such a well functioning system that naturally allowed water & nutrients to flow through the Everglades and out. Creating a very beneficial ecological transfer system. With biodiversity & abilities to heal & balance itself out just based on the way it's adapted over time. Then people started wanting to develop there in the past and started doing all sorts of alterations to the natural habitat so it better suited building & diverted water to urban areas.. a lot like how the Colorado river basin has been completely altered to divert to urban areas... I wish we could see how important Wetland habitats are. As well as natural flowing water systems... The more our environment flourishes the more we can flourish as well. It doesn't work if we only care about ourselves... We can't just have a world of only humans?? Unless people are okay with turning into the Donner party??
Only living member in the genus panthera??? Lions, tigers, snow leopards and leopards are all also in the genus panthera. Last I checked, they weren’t all extinct yet.
Giant catfishes from Amazon will become a more dangerous invader in Floria. Piraiba, jau, spotted sorubim can reach 200kg. Spotted sorubim and red tailed catfish can reach near 100kg. And they can turn into the next Wels catfish.
I think the south American Homosapien would do well in Florida too, especialy the ones from tropical, and sub-tropical regions.... one of my favorite Yutubers is Brazilian and he lives in Florida, so that proves it :P ps: joke, I am a middle eastern Homosapien, so I have no racial/culture/ethnic wars with any of the groups I mentioned.
Bobcats are doing better in Florida than are Florida panthers, because the panthers are bigger. This shows that Florida does not have enough wild space left to provide sufficient habitat for Jaguars, which are even bigger than panthers.
Your fish would eat shit against our Bull Sharks that can swim in both Salt & Fresh Water not to mention again any huge problem equals Dynamite fishing being used again not to mention alot of Americans use Bows and nets for fishing and we also use firearms for fishing when needed so that South America fish wouldn't survive in North America.
I called this video b******t because some of these animals are actually native to Florida like Jaguars but died out there at the end of the Pleistocene.
it might be interesting to introduce a small, sterilized population of jaguars into the everglades as "pest control". the boa constrictors would be most likely be chosen due to it being easier to kill a snake than an alligator. american alligators are also significantly larger than caiman which could further push the preference of non-native species.
Jag and Giant Otter have no pretadot except Jaguar can kill otter if he cought it alone but they never are. Both species hunt everything including giant green anaconda that weighs over 300 pounds and is longer than 6.5 meters
there are photos of Jaguars in the US taken in the late 19 Century as far north and east as Kanas where they were shot by famers. One such photo shows a Jaguar laying in a famer's field and the famer sat his little girl on the back of the dead cat's body and still came up to the waist of the famer.
why do you care about invasive species, just dump more invasive species into them and let the animal game park continue every new introduced invasive species would only continue the park
Green anacondas have been found in the wild in Florida. Luckily, they don't seem to thrive here. But, it could be that there would be better habitats in a different part of Florida, for them to get a better start. But, hopefully they just wouldn't do well here.
At 0:56 i was meant to say that the Jaguar is the only living member in it's genus in the Americas. (SORRY FOR THE BRAIN FART)
lol I was just about to point that out. Also, it's kinda cool how the jaguar is the only big cat found in the new world.
Hello there. Jaguar probably would be native to Floria, in the future as in the past.
Just a thing I remembered, but we have records of arapaima being caught in Florida back in 2021, so I think they'll do fine
Florida has a cat already. The jag could live on wild hogs and probably would. No great lose.
@@theodoresmith5272 Florida has pumas, the Amazon has pumas. Florida is vasically no different to the Amazon.
Fun fact: Jaguars once lived in Florida, during the late pleistocene. In fact, a lot of typical central american cats once called Florida home. This includes the ocelot and the margey.
They might even take care of some of the pythons
All the way to the modern era, actually. Spanish Florida had bounties for "tigers" in the 1600's
Jaguars even occasionally wander into Arizona and New Mexico
Let's ship them to Florida! Hopefully they might help with the python problem.
@@TheRusty Yes, there were bison on North Florida too. I wouldn't consider either "non-native."

They covered the arapaima being found in Florida already on the wild times podcast, but I think it was one found not a known breeding population
It’s was a dead one only found.
Literally means nothing at all.
Idk ive heard the Jacksonville jaguars haven't been that formidable lol
Bro I swear one time in Florida I saw an absolutely massive otter (at least 6 feet long) in a state park. Any info on how big the native otters get?
Big, they get to about the size of Mike
I mean the puma in Florida are already struggling, so idk how well a larger big cat would survive…

Predators introduced to control invasive species do that sometimes but they also prey on native species that are already struggling every single time.
