- North America and Asia are home to some very hard animals and they are also home to some of the largest predators on this planet. The ecosystems of North America and Asia are both very competitive and i'm sure some north american animals would be able to survive in Asia and some Asian animals would be able to survive in North America. in today's video i will be focusing on the second scenario as i will be going through 3 Asian animals that could take over North American ecosystems.

The U.S. military actually did an excursion through the Mohave using camels. They were amazed at how naturally the camels from the other side of the world could eat the cactus. The reason is of course because camels came from the Americas. There have even been talks about releasing camels into the deserts because many cactus species used camels and other species to spread their seeds and keep some species down. It’s unlikely they get introduced tho unless they bring American camels back from extinction.
Hopefully they don't, camels are an ugly animal
Reintroduce cheetah's to hunt the pronghorn next. :P
The introduced camels were sadly hint to extinction tho, but it probably wouldn’t be a big issue now
@planescaped why not?
@@planescapedyesss we need American cheetahs back after so long
Short, but not brainrotting. Straight to the point, but well explained. And, most importantly, well done entertaining content. I really like this channel, and props to you mate.
Hope you continue to grow and get the recognition you deserve
my thoughts exactly 👏
thank you i really appreciate the feedback and support :)
@@TsukiCove You keep doing what you're doing. The biology (i guess) community in YT is not that big, so don't get frustrated if you don't get the numbers. You'll be there someday
It is worth remembering that dholes existed in North America during the Pleistocene, another animal for this list among many others that could also thrive
I can think of at least 5 more animals (2 of which are already invasive in the U.S.) that could do a lot to North America’s current ecosystem:
-Axis deer (already invasive in Texas)
-Asian Elephant
-Indian Rhino
-Bengal Tiger
-Burmese Python (famously already invasive in Florida)
That’s not even taking into account of any primates (especially any of the types of macaques), birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, or any of the insects.
The Asian elephant is an interesting one, i don't know if there would be enough food and space but maybe it would work
@@TsukiCove I don't believe the Asian Elephant would do well just because forests in the US aren't as dense as many asian rainforests. And in the places where it is dense, it's also much colder than their asian habitat.
@@TsukiCove Maybe in the Amazon or other South American rainforests?
Most Asian animal would perform well in the North American continent as it isn't as competitive as it used to be in the past. It has so few apex predators which cannot be replaced like the brown/white bear, but most other apex predators are outcompeted by animals from other continents and as for herbivores we can already see that Axis deers got no natural predators in North.A, besides cougars which take them dowm on a regular basis.
This would be more fun if African and Asian cornerstone apex predators were swapped.
What if the African Bush Elephant was introduced to the deserts or very large grasslands of North America?
Really enjoyed this vid! More cats please 😁
Can you please do a video on feral invasive animals, like bees, horses, goldfish, cats, &. Dogs
Could you do a video on this topic?
Endangered at home invasive abroad
Fishing cat would thrive as stated. I have my doubts about the sloth bear. The black bear is more timid but is more versatile in my opinion and I think the food sources in North America could be a bit too spread apart for the sloth bear. I could be wrong there. Camels started in North America before becoming extinct at the end of the last ice age. They would rock in the desert if brought back.
Yup. More likely black bear that will invaded Asia. The population from southeastern USA and Mexico probably can thrive well in tropical Asia and replacing more specialized sun bear and sloth bear
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434 bIack bears dont do weII in the tropics, there is a chance that maybe theyd become dominant in temperate asia, but defo not tropics
@@user-mn5tt8wk6fTrue they would probably get overheated due to their thicker fur.
I love these vids so much but where do you get your footage/clips from? Keep up the good work!!!
Excellent video!
Thanks i appreciate it as always :)
Yes. Bring the fishing cat over to the Everglades to clean up the ecosystem
Keep up the awesome work Mr. Tsuki!
Will do, thanks for the support :)
Mr Kraaabs~
I have an ideeeaaa
Excellent video 😊
I think the Siberian Tiger would do well in places like Alaska and Pacific Northwest.
True.
Tigers definitely should be given some land in mainland America
@@teejayman215 yeah, they could definitely fill the niche left vacant by the American Lion and Sabertooth.
Same reason why elephants should be reintroduced to the America's. They're too intelligent and are better for forests too
no, human would kill them, tigers actually hunt humans.
Request New Video: 5 North America Animal that could take over Asian Ecosystem!
1.American Crocodile or American Alligator
2.Mountain Lion/Cougar/Puma or Florida Panther
3. Alligator Gar
4. Bald Eagle
5. Hellbender
6. Armadillo (displacing pangolin as it has more versatile diet and quick reproductive rate)
7. Raccoon
8. Snapping turtle
9. Canadian goose
10. Skunk
11. Sunfish (the freshwater bass like form, not one from ocean)
12. Bullfrog
13. Opossum
14. Bass
15. Blue catfish
There are alligator gar in parts of India (West Bengal) and Thailand. Releases from the pet trade.
@@prasetyodwikuncorojati2434raccoons bullfrogs sunfish and bass is already wrecking Asia while common snapping turtles and Canada goose are starting to show signs of spreading into the wild. 😢😢😢 some other famous American invasive animals in Asia are crayfish, American white moths and mosquito fish.
@@natquesenberry6368they maybe able to survive but due to the timid nature and slow reproductive rate I doubt it is going to become a problem in the extremely competitive waters of Asia
@junchan_3200 I disagree, because there are ALREADY established populations in West Bengal state in India. Near the Sundarbaan forests, home of muggar crocodiles, bull sharks, etc. The alligator gar is a fish with toxic eggs, which means local animals die when they eat them.
The South Eastern United States is the region where a number of invasive species worldwide come from: large mouth bass, channel catfish, red-eared sliders, bluegill, mosquito fish, red crayfish (Louisiana crayfish).
This is awsome great video :). Could u do a video about the percentage of seeing and extremley rare animal in the wild plzzz.
Love your videos, animals are so interesting to me. Do you think you could make one about animals you didn’t know could be hybrids? Obviously there are commonly known ones, like horses and donkeys, or even lions and tigers, but how about some of the lesser known ones?
Nice video
Baloo from jungle book is a sloth bear
Fishing cat could take over most of the Gulf Coast.
My first thought about the fishing cat was that it would do well in the bayous.
Certain parts of the gulf coast don't harbor mammals too well anymore.
South East texas is full of marsh and swamp just like southern louisiana,it would do great here fs
@@thokim84 It is a cat, and another cat does extremely well in North America as arguably the most succesful predator ever. If it has any tolerance for cold it could thrive at least asfar north as the Great Lakes.
Pandas. They breed like crazy and eat anything
I think Indian Peafowl might do really well if introduced to Texas and Louisiana. The Komodo Dragon and Monitor Lizard might also do really well in Florida and Louisiana due to the abundance of prey. In fact, a few Komodo Dragons and Monitor Lizards that were escaped/released pets were already captured in Florida. If a breeding population could be established then I think they'd do really well.
People raise peafowl, and they would do well enough facing the top land predator of most of North America (dogs). I have seen rhem as far north as Michigan, which has real winters.
Fascinating.
This was very beautiful and very interesting I’d love to see the fishing cat in person
thank you i really appreciate it and i'd love to see one too :)
This is incredible and interesting
thanks for the support :)
You're welcome
And yet another great video! I agree for the most part. I think the desert most suitable for this species of camel is the Great basin. It's most similar to it's native habitat being a cold desert most of the year. The land mines at waterholes has me very angry! Those things need to be completely banned in every country. They kill animals even when left for people which is bad enough.
Would Red Pandas thrive well in North America (especially since they do have a fossil record of relatives that once lived there)?
@@JobyFluorine-ru4bd Maybe they could survive in the great smoky mountains as it's similar to their enviroment but i'm not sure.
The cat and camel ideas are very interesting. I would like to explore these options in more detail. For example, what effects do camels have on ecosystems? Is it like bison? That they are a key species or don't they have much effect or even negatives effects?
I think both the wild Bactrian camels and domestic bactrian camels can adapt well to North America!!!
P.S camels once originated in North America from 46 million years ago before Spreading into Asia and Africa crossing the Landbridge and then they migrate down to South America 3.2 million years ago and they continue thriving on the North American continent and they survived until their extinction in North America 10,000 years ago at the end of the Ice Age!!!
yes i had this in the back of my memory somewhere but forgot to mention, thanks for reminding me :)
@@TsukiCove you’re welcome
@@TsukiCove I still believe those Bactrian camels and dromedary camels can adapt well into North America if they were ever re-introduced into their ancestral origins here in North America!!!
Dromedary camels were used by the US military, then released. The last sighting of one was about ten years after the release. The only reason camels do so well in Australia and their native homes is a lack of serious predators. American camels do well in the upper areas of the Rocky Mtns, but often lose their young to coyotes, bears, and eagles.
@@user-hh3cz1km6h but in their native homes in Africa and Asia their main predators are lions,wolves,hyenas,african painted dogs and tigers!!
the fishing cat would also do well in south louisiana swamps & south mississippi swamps where the mississippi & pascagoula rivers meet the gulf of mexico.
Yellow throated Marten
Males weigh 2.5-5.7 kg (5.5-12.6 lb), usually hunts in pairs, but may also hunt in packs of three or more. It preys on rats, mice, hares, snakes, lizards, eggs and ground nesting birds such as pheasants and francolins. It is reported to kill cats and poultry. It has been known to feed on human corpses, and was once thought to be able to attack an unarmed man in groups of three to four.[ There was a report that of 3 them killed a 3yr old panda in china
Fishing cat could adapt well in the everglades Florida
The fishing cat would get smoked by anacondas in the Everglades instantly. Almost all the mammals in the area are extinct there now.
The invasive anaconda population is very small in the everglades, are you referring to the Burmese python? The fishing cat can be found in the same ecosystem as the Burmese python in it's native range.
Anacondas? You mean Burmese Pythons right? I hope…
The one animal that can survive and thrive in America is the Tiger.
I have to disagree the fishing cat would be better suited for the America's tigers would be in direct conflict with both bears and angry armed Americans
Anything Asian, I say.
@bradyclark8750 if a populated country like India could keep their tigers alive, Americans could sacrifice some land for endangered species
U wanna give up ur house for habitat?
Everyone cares till u gotta give up that iPhone
Sounds like a great idea the glades❤❤😂😂😂
3:03/3:07 What about certain South American felids (especially those with a fossil record or historical occupation)?
Primarily the Jaguar, Ocelot & Margay.
you should try 3 Of The Most Distinctive Subspecies Of Brown Bears From Around The World.
America needs to refill the empty niches in its ecosystem with endangered species. Elephants, camels and rhinos should definitely be given sanctuaries and parks in the massive and empty Americas
Neat fact: the camels genetically come from the americas, traveled across the bering land bridge during the pleistocene and Holocene ice ages. Closest relative are the llamas and alpacas of South America
Might as well drop some fishing cars in the Everglades...
You know, you could do videos comparing Disney Animal Characters to their real world animal counterparts. Mainly The Jungle Book, The Lion King and Tarzan.
can u bring back the intro!!
I automatically thought of Asian brown and black bears simply because they have counterparts native to North America.
I also thought of the Asian giant hornet, which would probably do well in warm climates.
Thumbnail is crazy though
Disney movie Hawmps was about cavalry unit in southwest USA using them with success. Good comedy as well.
I reckon sloth bears need more water than we got down here in the Chihuahuan Desert. EVen at peak population there was only ever like, one black bear on every mountain down here.
Would you like to do a video on the largest fish species from South Africa?
The fishing cat is one evasive I wouldn’t mind here in Florida.
Two hump camels are huge. Very large animals need a lot of space. I wonder how they would get along with bison because in my thinking they would be in the same places.
Nah, the camels would thrive in the desert regions of Texas, New Mexico, AZ, Utah etc
The sloth bear is a tropical species so it won't do so well in North America. The asian black bear would do much better. It lives in temperate climates in the northern part of its range and also coexist with tigers, leopards and wolves as well as the ussuri brown bears in the russian far east.
And far more aggressive and vicious than American black bears.
Animals that could take over North America:
The Giant Panda! Imagine! It munches away the Arundinaria gigantea population to extinction in eastern USA! ^^
animals that should have been included:
Indian cobra. So long as there is no frost, and the winters are mild, this snake would be able to survive. They would go completely nuts trying to chow down on smaller snakes and rats in Hawaii and the birds would be toast.
Cockatoo. A lot of people forget that the actual range of these birds extended Indonesia. The USVI would be like heaven tothem, and so what parts of Florida. We’ve only gotten lucky that we don’t really have a huge population of Indian ringneck parakeets on the scale that say London does. But given London’s climate, that doesn’t mean we can’t.
Yak. they would LOVE the Rockies and Alaska, and I mean the wild Himalayan ones. Give it time, and trust me, some cowboy will try it if only to say that he roped the liriest bull he has ever seen.
Siberian tiger. The habitat in Alaska looks so much like Russia. It would compete heavily with the grizzly, and it would win. The leopard would also live a fine life in most of North America from Alaska south into Canada and well into Mexico.
The sloth bear looks like a badly drawn bear with a silly flat neck
The Siberian Tiger would do well in Alaska and Canada.
Fishing cat always seemed like the overpowered jaguar/tiger of small cats to me. Really sad they are extremely rare and endangered in my country
The Sloth Bear is pretty powerful 😲😲. It’s aggressive behaviour would make it a worthy adversary for the local wildlife of North America maybe🤔.
It just lacks strength.
The sloth bear has been successfully killed by leopards. North American cougars, grizzly bears, and wolf packs can handle it.
I will let you know about the fishing cats once we start getting data back from the settlement.
Hi 👋 Tsuki congratulations 👏🎉 on a job well done 👍 explaining 3 Asian animals that could destroy American ecosystems. I 💯🔥💪 percent agree with you about the Fishing 🎣 Cat 🐈 could survive in the Everglades. I enjoyed watching this very well 👍😃 made video 📸 and your explaining these animals that could survive in American ecosystems. There was another animal that I thought 💭 of that is 🌏 Asian and it's the Siberian Tiger 🐅 this species of Tiger 🐅 could survive in a certain part of America. Specifically the State of Maine which has a large moose and white-tailed deer 🦌 population. If the endangered Siberian Tiger 🐅 was released into the State of Maine it could definitely 😁 keep the Moose and White-tailed deer 🦌 population in check ✔️. Another benefit would be that it could bring the species 🔙 from extinction 🦣 and a lot of people would be interested in seeing Siberian Tiger's 🐅 and Maine would make a lot of money 💵💰 from tourists. Thank 🫂🙌👏 you again it's always a pleasure 😁 to watch your videos 📷.
Not an asian species, but another introduced cat I am pretty sure we have in the southeastern US is the Jaguarundi. I've mapped three "hotspots" of sightings and suitable habitat where the main populations probably are.
Anyone know what animals from Australia could take over African ecosystems?
Dholes...I think they'd out compete coyotes.
They wouldn't take over but could for sure live
Edit: If this gets a sequel, I'd like to see some more Canada/Northern U.S States animals since all of these were more southern based
As someone has said, camelids came from North America originally. Camels would do really well if they had a good diverse breeding population and would probably do well in Southwestern US and Mexico.
I also think tigers would do well in North America, but personally I don't think any apex predator outside of wolves need to be reintroduced. We need wolves to have their range expanded in North America to keep in check wild boar and deer populations. Hunters can't be the only ones to keep these populations in check. Tigers ironically would probably be the best bet to take down the feral hog population, but would definitively come into contact more with people and would get killed on sight. I know wolves do, and coyotes especially, but coyotes don't really go after feral hogs or deer, but wolves do.
There's more than enough land in America for Tigers
Even though they would be an invasive species I feel like we should bring the fishing cat over here to help it
Early
I think it would be a great idea to introduce a breeding population of Fishing Cats to clean up the everglades from the Burmese Pythons... I mean, what could go wrong? ;)
Fishing cats would compete against bobcats, both are similarly sized I think.
Idea: 3 North American animals that would destroy African environments
i'll try to remember this when i make another video in this series
@@TsukiCove I was thinking of animals like the
Pronghorn antelope
American Alligator
Cougar
Make north American animal that can survive in African
Komodo dragons small Indian mongoose tiger Chinese giant salamander and king cobra
👍
I think vast majority of North America is too cold for Sloth Bears. Meanwhile, they would have difficulty finding enough food in a temperate climate where fruits and insects are unavailable for much of the year. Finally, Sloth Bears don't hibernate. ... American Black Bears are far more cold-tolerant, have a more varied diet and are capable of hibernation. ... The Asian Black Bear might fare better in North America than the Sloth Bear, but it would compete directly with the larger (on average) American Black Bear.
Interestingly, camels did come from North America. During the ice age I'm sure they looked like those Asian ones.
Watching u since u were at 90k+ 😡
The fishing cat wouldn't just do well in the Everglades, it'd do well everywhere American Crocodiles and American alligators thrive, from Carolina to the Everglades and then back up around to the Mississippi river and possibly all the way into the East Texas swamps. look at a river map of north America, they'd never have to go far.
Honey badger enters in the northern america ☠️
I think the Siberian Tiger would do well there
Sloth bear wouldn't last long nothing that aggressive would last in the US in the wild. Grizzlies used to occupy more of the US because of the same trait and were eradicated from much of their range.
don't give me any ideas
Would they compete with other cats
Yes i think they would but maybe not directly as they focus more on aquatic prey. It's a good point though
7:29 Wasn't North America their ancestral homeland?
yes i do believe you're correct
There are camels in Texas
Those are dromedaries
Banzaii
So 3 animals that would do well in the US
I wouldn’t Bering the sloth bear over because how agrassive they are but they do deserve the same protections all animals should have
Yes bring the camels 🐫🐪 over and didn’t they evolve here ?
And yes bring the fishing cat too
Camels would be good. - T
Please think this through! I love your channel, just lovd it. However: the United States has more then enough introduced species which have become invasive. Our ecosystems do not any more outside species. They create,over time,many more problems than the main purpose for why they were introduced. Think it through, and spend time and money trying to rid our systems of unwanted invasives.
Bears might breed and Black Sloth Bear 🐻
i thought Filipino nurses would make the list
Hi Pup Send to Britain
The sloth bear would not thrive here in the states. They are 2 aggressive. They would b eradicated after the first attack.
Sloth bears killing tigers? Probably just young tigers...
Yes i think you're right. It is very rare but it has happened
2nd
Im sorry, poaching using land mines!?
Yes it's awful, you can read about it under the threats section of the wild bactrian camels wiki page
They tried bringing camels down here 100 years ago, didn't end well. I'm not sure you understand quite how hard it is for life to find a purchase down here in the American deserts. Could be wrong, though. We got rock doves and goatheads already.
Dude theres enough cats in the world already
Fishing cats in Florida? Alligators, pythons, bobcats, catamounts (mountain lions), sharks that cruise fresh water, rattlesnakes, catfish that can eat cats and do, eagles, hawks, stray dogs.
Sloth bear. Hmmm, wolves, coyotes that will hunt in large packs. These animals can take down grizzlies. Grizzlies hunt black bears. Grizzlies live from Alaska all the way down passed Mexico City. In the tropics, there are crocodiles the size of saltwater crocs.
Bactrian camel, maybe, but Andes or the Canadian Plains. Most predators in Mongolia are small or very rare. Deserts here are deadly. Dromedaries failed badly when released. The desert holds arsenic wells (springs), steep arroyos, cliffs, bears, more.
people should just stop kiling fishin cats for tryin to live.. humans are way overpopulated it your fault not the animals
Traditional Chinese medicine…. What a joke.
Jesus Christ loves you died and rose again for your forgiveness accept Christ into ur life 🙏🏽❤️🔥
