- Wild goats and camels are two of the most significant invasive species in Australia, with severe impacts on agriculture and nature. Introduced to Australia in the 1800s for transportation, milk, and meat production, these animals have since become a serious problem. Wild goats are known for their voracious appetite and are capable of consuming a wide variety of vegetation. Their feeding habits can cause significant damage to both crops and native vegetation, leading to habitat degradation, loss of biodiversity, and soil erosion. Moreover, feral goats can compete with native wildlife and domesticated animals for food, and are known to spread diseases to livestock.
Camels, on the other hand, are particularly problematic in arid and semi-arid regions of the country. Australia is home to the world's largest population of wild camels, with over 1,3 million animals roaming the Outback. These animals have a significant impact on the environment and agricultural industry, damaging water sources, infrastructure, and vegetation.

Have you ever eaten a wild goat?
Yes. Very musty vomit inducing smell. Neutered goats are eaten for meat, they are tasty. But bulls smell a lot.
USE THE MILITARY
I hope we humans, along with the native animals, can be successfully in controlling these invasive animals
I luv me lamb but havent had the chance to eat goat but will. Not mainsteam in Aus.
Ja ich hatte Wildziegen. Das beste und gesündeste Fleisch das es gibt. Für den Körper nicht belastent und nicht Purinhaltig.
I remember the first time I drove across the Nullarbor plain from Adelaide to Perth. Seeing a completely wrecked semi truck on the roadside and the remains of the cause both strewn down the highway and still mangled in the truck gave me much more respect for how large and potentially dangerous camels can be in certain situations.
Same here in the eastern US with (native) white-tailed deer.
Er surely the truck was driving dangerously?!
Camels made a major contribution to the development of Inland Australia from the early 1800s. But there were only about 20,000 camels until they were released in the 1920s. They were instrumental in the building of the Inland Railway from Port Augusta to Darwin. The train now running on that line is called The Ghan. Camel numbers exploded after they were released to the wild because the Australian inland is the best place in the world for a camel. There are more camels in Australia than any other place in the world. Camels are far under utilized in this country, being mostly seen as purely an invasive species rather than seeing them for their value as a milking and beef breed. Camels can easily be domesticated.
Why not hunt them and consume them? In the Arab world camel meat is in high demand.
I'm hungry
Leviticus 11 still applies.
Australia is a continent, far bigger than island dimensions.
They are exported from Aust back to middle east,they are considered better than the mid east animals.
Introduce Lions and wolves.
Collaborative efforts between government agencies, local communities and landowners are essential in addressing invasive species in Australia.
It is a heartbreaking reality to witness first-hand the devastating effects of invasive species.
Explosive numbers of Humans are the most invasive species thats devastating the planet.
I'm a student in Australia from Saudi Arabia, and camels are sacred animals to us and their meat is very delicious. I am surprised that Australians are wasting these treasures and not utilizing them. You also have carp fish, which is considered a national treasure and could benefit many people around the world. Goats and rabbits also have a large market in many parts of the world.
😇😇😇
Sacred and eating ?
No. The most chemical free especially AntibioticLOL
@@Onhuntt Lol that was hilarious. They revere these animals so much so that they devour them 😂
Are you serious sacred but eating😂😂😂
Important information. Australia does not have Foot and Mouth disease as stated in this video. I watch a lot of your videos and enjoy them, sometimes your research or no research let's you down. Regarding pricing, you mentioned around $13, in actual fact goats are worth around AUD$200 to AUD$300 per head. But overall you do a good job informing people about different topics. Again there is no Foot and Mouth disease in Australia.
Thanks for your respond
I would think the money reward should be the most effective tool in controlling their population. Also I hope the person that caught them has the option of either putting the food up for their own family or donating or a combination of the 2. That along with the monetary reward should help make it a program people could afford to participate in. Is it legal for somebody to catch some young and domesticate them for commercial ag purposes?
May have meant around $13 per dressed kilo?
@@tritchie6272 We used to bring home orphaned wild kids and especially the nanny's make excellent pets.
White tail deer and Turkey are not invasive to north America.
Camels play an important role in desert countries, providing transportation, milk and even companionship for the locals.
You're absolutely correct! Camels play a crucial role in desert countries, providing transportation, milk, and even companionship to the locals. Their multifaceted contributions make them highly valued in these regions.
I am amazed at the huge amount of wild camels and goats wreaking havoc in Australia.
I love it that you use Leaning on the Everlasting Arms as background music! 😄
Glad you like it
Invasive animals can also have cultural impacts, such as the impact of invasive animals on traditional hunting and fishing practices.
That's a great point. Invasive animals can also have cultural impacts, such as disrupting traditional hunting and fishing practices, which can have significant consequences for Indigenous communities.
Aussies are themselves invasive animals honestly speaking
@@tony98discovery really clown drop the rubbish ,and dont pretend you dont know what im saying
Watching this video sparks thoughts about Australias complex wildlife situation.
It is important for communities to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to prevent the spread of invasive species in their area.
You're absolutely right! It's essential for communities to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to prevent the spread of invasive species in their area. This can involve raising awareness, implementing control measures, and promoting responsible practices. By working together, we can protect our local ecosystems and mitigate the negative impacts of invasive species.
Hard to do with a country like Australia cos no one lives in the middle of our country WHY ? No water
One of the most well-known invasive species in the world is the common carp, which was introduced to North America in the late 1800s and has since become one of the most widely distributed fish species in the world.
The common carp is indeed one of the most well-known invasive species in the world, and its introduction to North America in the late 1800s has had significant ecological and economic impacts.
NO NO. HUMANS IS THE MOST INVASIVE DESTRUCTIVE SPECIES ON THIS BLUE 0LANET.THRY HAVE DESTROYED FORESTS OCEANS R8VE4S CIRAL REEFS AND BREAD AND SPREAD SO FAST EVERY INCH OF THIS EARTH IS COVERED IN ASPHALT C9NCTETE AND GARBAGE PILES USED AUTOMOBILE TIRES.... HORRIBLE DIRTY PEST WORST THAN RATS AND COCKROACHES.
@@tony98discovery Video about camels in Australia. Let's talk about fish instead.
The crazy thing about the carp that were introduced to United States that are invasive you're not allowed to hunt them while they're breeding according to DEC Department of Environmental
@@tony98discovery White people are also invasive people of America here.....LOL....Not, just Australia...LOL....A big problem for the Native people of both countries....LOL....
I’m shocked to, you have huge numbers of goats and camels which are free sources of milk and meat. Australians are plain
crazy not to take advantage of this resource. You’ve got to love the aussies.
If you understand the climate and environment that most of these are found here, you would realise how difficult that prospect would be. There is absolutely a lot of important factors that illustrate why the overwhelming majority of the human population here live in the coastal cities.
Goats are widely used by both hunters and commercial farming/harvesting.
Camels are hunted for meat at low levels. Commercial harvesting is essentially unviable , due to remote areas, mobilisation and freight costs, etc
They should be used as meat only, and even then their populations should not be sustained like deer in NZ, in fact they should be completely eradicated
Australians would love to milk them if they produce fermented drinks.
@@MrBlurpBlurp-hg3dj milk a wild camel i want to watch the video
The development of regulations and standards for hunting and exporting invasive species is crucial.
The video provides insight into Australias persistent wildlife challenges.
Feral goats are known to compete with native herbivores, such as kangaroos, for food resources, and this can have a significant impact on the ecosystem.
It is also important to address concerns about animal welfare in the management of invasive species, and to ensure that methods used are both effective and humane.
Even the 'roos overpopulate and cause terrible problems
Lp
I felt a mixture of surprise, concern and sadness when I learned of the threat posed by wild camels and goats.
It's all bullshit, if goats and camels are a problem, what about the millions of European cattle?
If things were handled properly the first mentioned two species should be able to generate profit, not loss. It is our economic system that causes most of the fuss, you see, with those feral animals it is hard to decide whose property they are and on top of that they are not standing readily at some place next to the farmhouse, waiting to be shipped to the nearest slaughterhouse. On the positive side is the fact that they do not generate cost to breed, feed or shelter them and there is also no expense for the veterinarian.
I didn't know you had Foot & Mouth Disease over there; besides when you have Played us at Rugby Union, sorry I couldn't resist!
Thanks Cobber for your great work, from a Southern Man from Down South New Zealand! We have got a Problem with Wallabies here in South Canterbury and now North Otago.
Thank you for your kind words! While Foot & Mouth Disease has been a concern in some regions, I believe you're referring to a different topic. As for the Wallabies in South Canterbury and North Otago, invasive species can certainly present challenges in various parts of the world. It's important to address these issues through sustainable management strategies.
The video sheds light on the intricacies of this issue.
It is heartbreaking to witness the relentless devastation caused by wild camels or goats
We share your concern about witnessing the relentless devastation caused by wild camels or goats. It's disheartening to see the profound impact they can have on the land and ecosystems. We remain committed to finding effective solutions and raising awareness about this issue.
Feral camels have been known to cause significant damage to water resources in arid regions, such as by trampling waterholes and springs.
While controlling invasive species can be difficult and costly, it is important to recognize the significant economic and environmental impacts they can have if left unchecked.
What if aliens sees us as a invasive species and catch and butcher humans 🤔
Invasive species pose a persistent challenge in Australia due to the countrys unique ecology and geographic isolation.
Incrível
Um forte abraço daqui do Brasil 🇧🇷 ❤
The effects of wild goats and camels on agricultural production can also be far-reaching, impacting food security.
Absolutely, the impact of wild goats and camels on agricultural production can be far-reaching and impact food security. This is a significant concern for Australia.
@@tony98discovery instead of just letting them roam free , causing damage , breeding and being no use , herd them up , they can both be milked , drink the milk and or make cheese and yogurt and both can also be eaten and the hides can also be used . Humans are at fault and to blame for them being there , stop complaining about something that was caused by humans and make use of them and fix the mistake .
The control of feral goats and camels in Australia is complex and expensive, and a range of control methods are used, including aerial culling and trapping.
Overall, the management of invasive species in Australia is an ongoing challenge that requires a combination of prevention, control, and eradication methods, as well as collaboration between various stakeholders.
bu hayvanların kontrolü için açlıktan ölen insanların olduğu ülkeler var, bu hayvanları nakliye şartıyla o ülkelere bedava verseler olmaz mı....şu anda dünyada bir sürü insan et yüzü göremiyor , yemek yüzü göremiyor.
Invasive animals are a concern for global biodiversity.
It is alarming to learn about the origins of invasive animals in Australia and the challenges they pose to farmers.
of course cant have them eating all the food that the SHEEP need. it is after all the sheep who are the mainstay of Australia's export. VERY short sighted what they are doing.
I could understand the rabbits and the dingo.Even Anthrax to eradicate the rabbits. Nothing actually did work.
Maybe educating the average Aussie also will help.
Just a small detail.
Beef Tongue a delicacy and very expensive in most other countries,is being sold as dog food...because Aussies will not eat it.
Ostrich,Kangaroo, the Emu, the Camel are all in competition to each other for that little food that is available.
Introduce good housekeeping and husbandry. Culling the excess. And keep the best for good stock.
Introducing lions or wolves, wonder if THAT would be a good idea?
They for sure will go for the slower sheep and stay there.
Managing wild goat populations requires a multi-pronged approach that includes culling, habitat restoration, and public awareness. It is a complex but necessary work.
Thanks for a very interesting video !
One note about deer in America, the white tail deer is native to the USA. The invasive species are axis deer and sika deer.
Thanks for the info!
Europeans and Africans are invasive species as well ((
@@tadcotadco6344 good point, homo sapiens are by far the most destructive species.
@@tadcotadco6344 …and they just keep multiplying !
Axis deer, also called chital, are beautiful, hardy animals, and their meat is said to be good. That is one "invasive" species that should be encouraged. Also, keep in mind that horses, pigs, sheep and cattle are also invasive - they were imported from Europe.
As an Australian, I am well aware of the invasive species problem we face, from feral camels to feral goats.
Then sort them out
As an Australian, you're well aware of the invasive species problem we face, ranging from feral camels to feral goats. This recognition is important, and collective efforts are needed to address these challenges and preserve our unique ecosystems.
The video sheds light on the complexities of invasive control.
The ecological impact of wild goats and camels on Australia's unique environment is a growing concern.
That's correct. Wild goats and camels are becoming a significant threat to Australia's fragile ecosystems, and the environmental damage caused by these animals can have long-term consequences for Australia's biodiversity.
As well as the white man
It's stolen land
@@stephansteohanlarsen7457 generalising and bigotry such as yours is ridiculous
In Australia there are no wild goats or wild camels
Dealing with the damage caused by camels and feral goats has been a constant struggle for me and my neighbours.
you know you can eat them
The use of motion-activated cameras helps track the movements of wild camels, aiding their management and control efforts.

Wild goats and camels causing havoc in Australia? Mind blown!
Its intriguing to learn about Australias enduring wildlife issues.
Goats can be used for sustainable grazing practices.
However, their numbers have declined significantly in recent years due to habitat loss and hunting.
About time you lot got a grip on these critters. It's ironic that they are by far the most interesting animals in Australia. All power to you.
Goats and camels? Who would've thought they'd be invasive in Australia!
It is interesting to learn about the challenges of managing invasive species.
As a native of South Texas, I can confirm how invasive and destructive hogs can be. One thing that isn't mentioned about the geese is they can be extremely aggressive toword humane. A small child could very severely injured in an attack. "Swamp Rats" are actually called "Nutria". Keep up the great work. Cheers, Dick from Vancovuer.
and migratory birds carry a lot of disease
These species really cause a lot of problems
Only Aborigines are natives ,you guys not...So you have no right to kill hogs
The failure of the government to find a lasting solution for farmers affected by invasive species is deeply concerning.

What’s Mustering? Never heard of this
The scale of the invasive species problem in Australia is staggering. We have to deal with it urgently.
Yes. 100% agree. These invasive humans from Africa, Asia, but mostly Europe completely dominated local Australian aboriginals. Did you know there is only less than million left of them.
It's hard to imagine these species becoming a problem in Australia
It may be difficult to imagine, but the introduction of non-native species can have severe consequences. History has shown that invasive species can disrupt ecosystems, harm native wildlife, and damage habitats. It's crucial to remain vigilant and take proactive measures to prevent their establishment.
The use of culinary arts to promote the consumption of invasive species is a creative solution.

The impact of wild camels and goats in Australia makes me sad.
Can't believe wild goats and camels are invasive in Australia!
Australias efforts against invasives are inspiring.
smthing like this, Australian farmers and land managers use a range of methods, including:
Baiting: Farmers often use baiting as a method of controlling invasive animals. They lay poison baits in areas where the animals are known to frequent, which are often protected by bait stations to ensure that other animals do not consume the bait.
Trapping: Trapping is another common method of controlling invasive animals. Farmers use live traps to catch and remove animals from the environment, reducing their impact on native wildlife.
Shooting: Shooting is also used to control invasive animals, particularly those that are larger or more dangerous, such as wild dogs. Farmers may use firearms or hire professional hunters to cull populations of these animals.
Fencing: Farmers also use physical barriers like fences to prevent invasive animals from accessing sensitive areas. For example, farmers may erect a fence around a national park to keep feral pigs out and protect the native wildlife.
Biological control: In some cases, farmers may use biological control methods to control invasive animals. This involves introducing a predator or disease that specifically targets the invasive species. For example, the introduction of the myxoma virus in the 1950s was successful in reducing rabbit populations in Australia.
Have you ever had problems with invasive animals?
