- In this video I will be focusing on the beautiful country of Canada. Canadas landscape can sometimes be very harsh and unforgiving so it's home to some very hardy herbivores and some very hardy predators. Just like most other countries around the world Canada is also home to some invasive species. I will be going through just a few of these invasive species today as i will be going through 5 problem invasive species in Canada.

For our first problem invasive species we will be travelling over to Europe as we have the European starling. The European starling can decimate farms and outcompete native birds.
For our next problem invasive species we will be travelling to the freshwaters of Eurasia as we have the tench. The tench is a very hardy invasive fish and can survive in many water sources where native fish can't.
For our next invasive species we will be travelling to pretty much anywhere in the world as we have the feral pig. The feral pigs in Canada are thought to be hybrids of the wild boar and domesticated pigs. These feral pigs destroy farms and destroy habitats of native animals.
For our next problem invasive species we will be heading to the coastal waters of Europe as we have the European green crab. The European green crab is one of the worst invasive species in north America as it outcompete native crabs and can negatively effect the fishing industry.
For our final problem invasive species we will be travelling to Russia and China as we have the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is a small metallic insects that feeds on ash trees. This insect is responsible for destroying millions of trees.
A tsuki video in the morning makes my day better
I'm surprised you didn't mention that the reason European Starlings were introduced into North America was that someone wanted all the birds mentioned in Shakespierres work to be living in Central Park, NYC
Imagine damaging an ecosystem for the sake of novelty.
@@bigfoottroisiemepartielave1759 To be fair, this was in the 1820s. Long before anyone realized what kind of damage invaders can do.
@@moblinmajorgeneral Good point.
Starlings are in decline here in the UK, so we’d be happy to have those starlings back lol
And some for the netherlands too!
Come get ‘em, they kept moving into my bbq at home and pulling up all the sprouts in my garden to put into said bbq
I shoot a few hundred every year. If you can catch them, you can have them!
Take some English sparrows while you're at it
@@deadhorse1391 yeah, I think you're right about that. Once when I was a kid, I was given a pellet gun, dropped off at the barn, and told I'd get paid .25cents for every starling I shot. By the end of the day, I had a 50gallon barrel FULL of dead birds. Went through an entire 300 pack of pellets, and most of a second. My Dad ended up dropping the bounty to .05/bird, because I had over 400 of them.
I don't see nearly that many nowadays, which is good. To me, they'll always be a shoot on sight bird
I love our starlings here in Ontario Canads as I have a dozen feeders and several suets and they are just one of the dozens of species that visit me .
OMG I ASKED FOR THIS 3 MONTHS AGO THANK YOU TSUKI YOUR THE BEST!
We have swim really odd invasive fish in some small areas, there’s mollies, mosquito fish, and at one point there was jewel cichlids all in a hot spring in Banff. There’s also dojo loaches and Amur gobies that can be found breeding in BC!
Fun fact I named my dog TsukiYomi because he had a crescent moon patch of white fur on the back of his neck, I call him TY and just Tsuki for short :) so this channel makes me smile with every upload for more reasons than one.
thanks for doing Canada but now can you specifically do Ontario Canada ? The wildlife in Ontario is super weird because we have a large diversity of temperature and rural aawell as urban areas in our province .
yess
Suggestion: a video or part of a video on the massive population of white tail deer in Finland? It's said they originated from possibly 1 single male, could be interesting for a video. Keep up the good work! Really nice to see how the channel has developed and grown over the past year :)
As a Canadian, in the spring of last year, I’ve been seeing tons of starlings, and now today, they’re just gone.
A great vid as always bro, I really enjoy your content.
Thanks man i appreciate it :)
cool little channel you got here. Very much enjoy the thumbnails too. Good job!
thank you for this video for making me better just lost my grandpa 🙁
rip sucks lmao
I'm so sorry to hear that, my thoughts are with you
Tá brón orm as do chaillteanas agus b'fhéidir go mbeidh sé i síocháin
Could you do a video of "native" species that have increased in population and range due to humans? It's not always a good thing. In North America alot of "edge habitat" species have thrived at the expense of others. Like White Tail Deer, Coyotes, Turkeys, Groundhogs, Black Bears, etc.
i have been thinking about doing a video like that it's a great idea as there are a few animals that do well in suburban areas. We have tons of foxes where i live and they just thrive off peoples garbage
You forgot Canada Geese!
@@ericburton5163 i never know that the canada goose is invasive in canada
And raccoons.
And Opossums and Skunks
Awesome content as always. Great education source. I never knew about the pig problems in Canada.
thank you i appreciate it :) I didn't know either until I started researching the topic
The pigs are a problem out in the prairies more, and there are few sightings in southern Ontario.
@@silverslugger1535 I took out a 417lb and a 638lb feral hog this winter in Ontario. They're extremely rare but they're definitely here.
Glad you covered my home country.
Arnie makes me smile every time
Maybe its just because I live near the great lakes but the invasive species I hear most discussed in Canada are the zebra muscle and round goby
Yeah, those Mussels have been a game changer.
The mussels have been really hard on the great lakes. They filter the water to be crystal clear, causing the native grass and seaweed species to explode in size from extra light and choking out the fish that used to live in them, that then rot causing massive algea blooms turning the water toxic making more food for the mussels to filter out
Woohoo my name was on the video!!! I'm a Tsuki Super Fan!!
haha thank you for your support as always :)
Hey so I've been wondering since you have mostly covered Europe, North America and Australia in this series how about you look into Brazil or Congo?
As those have huge rainforests I am certain they are effected by invasive species.
that's what I'm planning to do, I'm thinking about doing somewhere in south America next. I'm planning on doing some places in Africa but it's a lot harder to research about invasive species in those areas
@@TsukiCove Do invasive spices in the PH.
@@TsukiCove im looking forward to what you will put out in the future :)
You did awesome =)
Thanks i appreciate it :)
You could probably do a whole video on invasives entering via irresponsible shipping (e.g. untreated pallet wood--I once worked for a packaging company and can testify that the U..S. requires pallets for export be made of heat treated lumber). In addition to the Emerald Ash Borer in Canada (& Midwest USA), we also have the Redbay Ambrosia Beetle (+ its fungal symbiont, Laurel Wilt Disease) which is on a trajectory to wipe out the entire Lauraceae in the SE USA (& possibly into the eastern neotropics if it can jump certain dry areas in south Texas and NE Mexico, except in areas too cold for the beetle (but only Sassafras albidum and Lindera benzoin are found up north--the laurels are almost always sub/tropical). Bays (Persea sp., as with avocados) were once keystone species in that area, and two species of US butterfly (Palamedes and spicebush swallowtails) exclusively eat plants in the laurel family.
Sassafras is pretty rare in Canada
@@agricola So?
these invasive species videos are awesome
Here in BC Canada we have the mountain pine beetle (not sure if it's the same species as mentioned in your video). The trees all turn red when infested with them and die from being eaten alive from the larvae. The good news is the Norther Flicker (a woodpecker bird) has flourished and are more common than ever before....
Life breaks free. Life expands to new territories. Painfully, perhaps even dangerously. But life finds a way.
Beautiful ☺ species‼️
Great video
thanks i appreciate it :)
good job tsuki
Great content as always, please do a SouthEast Asian country soon. Cheers from Malaysia 💪🏻
I have two Golden Tench in my Garden Fishpond - very beautyful - and peaceful to the other Fish. I live in Austria, so it's no Invasive Species here
Recently subbed and my fiance and i love your videos
As a Canadaian, love this
Nice vid :)
Eighth attempt at asking Tsuki to please 🙏make a video about invasive species in Colombia and / or Brazil for the next episode. If so, I’ll become a member of the channel 👀
haha you don't need to bribe me, i'm planning on doing somewhere in south America next :)
@@TsukiCove Finally, the day has come. Thank you Tsuki, your channel has some of the best nature-related content in yt. It will mean the world if Colombia or Brazil could have some representation in your videos (even if its about something concerning like invasive species). If you need info or any help at all, I'll be more than honored to give you a hand.
Best wishes from Colombia!
Could it be that the Creyfish injury you in your intro is what caused the CZcams demonization event earlier in the year? I'm not sure but that might be it if you haven't already got to the bottom of it.
In Alberta there is a single lake invaded by crawfish, which means it's open season on them with no catch limit. At the same time, if you catch any it's actually illegal to return them to the wild! The same goes for the feral pigs in the province, except that the government actually pays $75 per pair of ears to hunt or trap them (if licensed), and they make for good meat too!
Pine beetles are also a big problem like the ash borer, devasting huge swaths of western forests and only hindering fire management measures. 😞
Should of been the round goby, zebra mussels, house finches, Norwegian rats and herman cockroaches lol just saying eh... lol but great video these would of been in the 2nd episode line up. Stellar job on the starlings..
Boar can be WAY bigger than 220lbs (100 kilos). 300-600 is common and giants in the 800-1000 range have been shot by hunters. Ive seen two 400-600 pound boars fighting before while hunting they look like bears when they get that big.
Populations in Tennessee, Pennsylvania, and Texas were additionally mixed with Russian Boars. Between the 40s-60s as it became popular on game ranches to import them for hunting back only for them to escape. This gives them the traits to survive much colder areas I wouldn't be surprised to see them in Southern Alaska eventually.
yea, maybe true.. best information animals #goodvideo
You should do a video on Croydon Park
Yes! finally a Canada centric video
I haven’t seen a starling here in western Canada for 30 years…they used to flock around here.
Maybe a video of invasive species on the Iberian peninsula?
I live in western PA, the ash beetle is so bad here that ur not allowed to remove ash wood from the county it originated. In the summer when driving down the interstate u can see hundreds of dead Ash trees that line the roadway.
“Starling impersonating R2D2”
IMMA FINNA WATCH IT LOL
Awesome video. As a southern Canadian myself, I have seen 2 of the 5 here. One is the Starling and the other is the ash borer.
The starlings I usually see in small numbers around my place but tend to stick around small towns. I have a large flock at a farm 5 minutes down the road from me and I always see them there no matter the time of year when I drive through.
Ash borers on the other hand have gotten all my large ash trees which suck but I’m going to have some good fire wood in the future so it won’t go to waste. They haven’t gotten the little ones thankfully.
I know I won’t see the green crab and I may one day catch or spot the other fish but I’ll be terrified if I ever see a murder pig. I’ll surly get my dads friend who hunts over if that day comes. We’ll be eating good then.
I've been going to Texas to hunt hogs. And would come up and help remove them up there also be your laws on firearms stop any chance of that.
@@steveb6103 only if you're a criminal. If not, then you can hunt and own firearms, after a course and background check, but this video is the first and only time I've ever heard of wild pigs in Canada.
Emerald Ash Borers don't stop until they run out of Ash Trees.
The feral pigs seem to be at their worst in Canada in regions where the wolf, cougar and brown bear populations are scarce.
A day not learned anything,
is a day without Tsuki.
😋
Hey man i know you have snakehead in the past
Are you keep it species only or with one or two tankmate
You should do a video on bear lakes fish
You should do range maps when you talk about the animals
I had no idea there were tench in north america, I knew there were carp but I'm surprised tench were taken over due to their extremely slow growth rates
Can you do more videos on tiger Oscar’s plzzz
One of the invasive species that you for got is gobeys
You should do invasive species one on Louisiana
I've lived in Canada for 40 years and explored every province. Yet i still didn't find any of these invasive species.
You could do deep dive video on a place that was successive in removing one of these invasions.
"they are known to build PIGLOOS to keep their offspring warm" Now you are fucking with me.
make a video about clouded leopards and other species that are treatend in the rainforest
If humans went extinct and all animals escaped captivity:welcome to invasive park
Can you please make a video on large feral animals in the us or around the world? Like feral cattle, horses, dogs even camels.
I think you are very intrested in tench. You mentioned it in many videos.
Can you do a invasive species video on California?
3:35 "Tench compiting with .....bullheads" In Europe invasive bullheads are on of the biggest reasons why Tench is endangered and protected
This video is just sensationalism, tench are in 2 waterways in Canada and are having a very hard time gaining any kind of foothold, also, feral pigs are few and far between, we have an open season on them and they're not able to shoot back
@@youtubecensorseverythingIsay ask the southern US how that's going. Open season doesn't fix what breeds faster than you can kill
I’ve always wondered how many species of Pakuthere are and what they all look like I’ve only seen red bellies and black Pakistani
I HATE STARLINGS… They pecked a hole in the roof siding every morning for months until they made a nest in the whole townhouse line. Then they had a battle with squirrels that drove everyone crazy.
Man I never new green crabs were invasive since there great bait for black fish.
You should do an update on your pets
Emerald Ash Borer is no joke. There are really strict firewood regulations in place in my state because we are kind of the epicenter of the invasion.
I agree, I've never included an insect in this series before but I had to include the EAB because it's so destructive
Thanks bud bud love buddy
Okay I
Okay I love buddy’s ya bud bud
Thanks buddy bud
Wild boar were brought to the US in the 1500’s. Not the 1990’s.
Big difference.
I live in Québec and i can say that tench coming from Québec is a native species there they come from fleuve St laurent and goes trough the rivière L'assomption i caught at least 30 tench on that river
Can You Include Chital Deer, Nile Monitor, Rose-Ringed Parakeet And Fallow Deer In Future Invasive Species Videos Please?
Could you do an Invasive species of United States?
The longhorned Asian beetle is a problem, the government cut down lots of trees in my old neighborhood to slow/stop the spread of them.
Japanese beetles have also been a massive pain in my ass, have to watch the roses like a hawk to make sure they dont get eaten
its about time......
Those ash borers wiped out all the ash trees in my city.
The two most invasive species and destructive on this planet that I can think of is humans and domestic cats . I believe that they have caused the extinction of more species and the reduction of numbers of other species across thelarger global area .
I can personally saw Ash Beatles are terrible my parents have a farm in KY and they came through and completely wiped out the ash trees and our woods was 80% ash tree now it is all dead new trees are coming up but it is going to take decades for the woods to truly recover.
Can you do invasive spieces in mexico
Do invasive species of the Great Lakes
I have covered most of the invasive species of the great lakes in my other videos on invasive species but it is a very interesting topic
It’s people from Ohio and southern Michigan and Ontario mostly
Smallmouth bass is another big invader in parts of canada
Do a video on Eugene Schieffelin- he introduced the swallow and many others to North America because he liked the idea of every bird in Shakespeare's plays being here.
cant get over "pigloo" hahaha
Yes finally canada!
There's actually no difference between domesticated pigs and wild boars. Either they escaped from the farm, or their ancestors did.
2 of the 5 were introduced in the 1990s. We don't learn, do we?
Starlings are in Las Vegas
don't canadians also have a tumbleweed problem?
Please make kongo wild freshwater fish
There are feral hogs in Canada? Don't they have a far larger wolf and grizzly population to take care of that?
Also invasive species Florida panhandle would be alot different than southern Florida
Wild feral pig sounds good to eat.
Liberalized hunting policies have been the only (somewhat, and only somewhat) effective means of their control in most US states. However there is often antigun crusading by ecologically ignorant urban idiots which hinders this, and if in spite of that, ultimately if boar hunting catches on in a big way, there may be a risk that they will shift their habits like whitetail deer and become a huge nuisance in suburban areas (where hunting doesn't happen for obvious reasons) instead of rural ones.
Surprised Asian Long Horn Bettles isn't on this list.
Starlings and Sparrows have dented the populations of the native Eastern Bluebird and other native Missouri Songbirds. It was not rare to see Eastern Bluebirds or Cardinals 30 yrs ago at parks or nature areas in Mo. It is now a rare sight.
Both those birds are still extremely common up here (Michigan)
Feral pigs are doing more or less what the human extincted peccaries mylohyus and platygonus were doing in the same areas a few thousand years back.
do pumas hunt wild boars and can American black bear Asian black bear sloth bear pandas spectled bear and sun bear hunt them
At 6:14 or so talking about the green crab is it poisonous or something why don't they just harvest that and eat it and sell them blue crabs are Dynamite one of the best crabs on the planet to eat so couldn't they just turn it around and start farming those or catching them and selling them for profit I'm just asking a question unless they're poisonous or have a nasty taste to them
Starlimgs will kick out native song birds eggs and lay their own and then leave the sonbirds to raise their young. Its because a huge issue here and has decreased our songbird population.
Sadly the woodpecker that you put on the video has seized to exist.
the one in the video is a Pileated woodpecker, there is a recently extinct similarly looking woodpecker called the Ivory-billed woodpecker are you talking about that one?
The ash borer has killed every ash tree on my mountain . Am pissed
