5 Introduced And Non Native Species In The UK
Vložit
- čas přidán 7. 06. 2024
- Many Brits across the UK are saddened by the lack of large animals across our landscape. Many of our native large animals have gone extinct mainly due to overhunting and habitat loss. Even though many of our large native animals are now gone, we actually have some secret non native species living in the UK. In This video I will be going through some of these species as I will be going through 5 introduced and no native species in the UK.

In this video I will be covering the red necked wallaby, the south American coati, the Siberian chipmunk, the European yellow tail scorpion and the New Zealand stick insects.
Thanks for watching I hope you enjoyed :)
I’m surprised no deer species were mentioned, considering there’s 4 non-native deer species in the UK
they will most likely appear in the second part
We need a few predators before more deer species first we need the balance
I didn’t know that! Which ones are the non native species that have come to the uk? And how did they get here? I know we have deer almost everywhere ( where I am anyway) out in the forests but also under a nature reserves oh my gosh and the amount of rabbits/ hare 😅
Massively damaging species
Chinese Pheasant, American Shrimp. Grey Squirals, Rainbow Trout, The Royal Familly e.t.c
It’s nice to know not every introduced animal is destructive.
Nice try Dodo. You wont be coming back from extinction tho🤔✌
@@zekejeager2451 :(
@@zekejeager2451 😂
Not destructive but even if it provides a beneficial role for a lot of animals theres always one animal that loses out. For example norway spruces, lots of red squirrels love them but they also outcompete scots pines in mountainous areas meaning they have the potential to become extinct in some areas and lose their status as a dominant species in others
Not destructive yet*
I can imagine the wallabies can cause some confusion with the locals, especially if they're seen on the way home from the pub! :D
Lol 🤣 I can imagine their faces right now hahaha
genuinely never knew we had kangaroos in the uk lol
@@DavidL1986 Apparently there's a group living on the Sussex downs.
I did not know that wallabies was going to the pub
i saw one in the woods in bedfordshire at a free party once! i followed the fucker for about half hour before it hopped off into the ferns never to be seen again! when i got back to the car i told my mates and they all took the piss and said i must of been trippin out! i knew they were out there!
Maybe in part 2 you could talk about the parakeets in London! Theres so many of these tropical green birds flying about in the local parks 😁
Not just London. They're a colony round my allotment in Newcastle
In my city, Derby, there's a park (Elvaston Castle) with a colony of parakeets in the grounds!
I'm in North London right next to Gladstone Park and there are thousands. It's still a lovely sight and sound .
Near Leeds. Parakeets and love birds. And they all kick around together.
In Manchester as well
Wallabies are gorgeous little things. I'm an Aussie and we are very fond of them. They aren't dangerous at all, and if they're accustomed to getting food from people then they will definitely try to be everyone's friend. In general they will just watch you from a distance though. Tasmania is a climate analogue for England with cold snowy winters. The wallaby species from Tassie should be fine, but for mainland species it might be too cold.
lived in tassie for 4 years! can confirm that Tassie wallabies are part snowman
Wallabies are great. They’re really stupid tho, they just sit and stare as I ride towards them on my mountain bike. I nearly hit them.
they will breed in new zealand wallabies are pests
When you mentioned scorpions I automatically wondered if there was a steak house nearby. We had scorpions showing up in areas on the US east coast years back that were from the Southwest. Turns out they were coming in on mesquite wood shipped in for cooking steaks at a major chain. They most likely didn't survive the winter.
It gets weirder. Some of these scorpions live in a sand bank in a disused train station.
@@tyranitararmaldo Are you talking about the the UK or US?
@@realtalk6195 UK.
Uk wont have any wildlife left soon, due to over building on greenbelt land. Houses are put up quickly which are of poor quality & built on flood zones or greenbelt land.
Stop bringing in more people then!
@@bjollnirbjordsen9795 our government trash + most people coming in are illegal migrants
@bjollnirbjordsen9795 Well said. If our government stopped letting people flood in, our green spaces would be safe from being built on.
@@bjollnirbjordsen9795yeh hold lemme just call rishi yeh?
A few years ago I had a farmer's vegetable box delivered weekly. One week they sent a video out to their customers that one of the drivers took while delivering the boxes early one morning before it got properly light, and ahead of the van in the headlights was a wallaby bounding along the lane. It was fabulous! :)
I saw a chinese water deer crossing a river once
Took me by suprise but cant lie it was an amazing sight with its tusks
Looked it up and they look regal, ngl
That’s AMAZING! They are stunning! I wonder how they got here
@@Boo-pv4hn escapes from Woburn and whipsnade Bedfordshire
Shoot and eat
That was great, your videos are consistently good. I would love to see a part 2.
You have no idea of the destruction
Loved this topic! Thanks for sharing great content as usual
i remember seeing a scorpion in an estate like 25 years ago i was younger than 10 thats alls i know. it was just walking along the road never seen anything like it. then someone squashed it with a brick
It's for the beat. They're awful.
Killed by the object that brought its ancestors here in the first place.
The Irony.
I enjoyed the last part of your comment ☺️
what an awful death. Just because it’s not astheticaly pleasing doesn’t give anyone the right sane with boiling lobsters it’s just fuckin sick man
@@dubuyajay9964 They are another species of arachnid and related to spiders, they feed on insects just the same. People kill spiders too, through ignorance, just the same
Wow you have Wallaby’s too? How lucky we are to have such beautiful creatures ❤️🇦🇺
Indeed we are
I'd love a part 2! And more videos like this, keep it up!
Part two please thanks for a great video always looking forward to watching one or two
great video!! I'd love to see a part 2.
I had no idea about some of these, always learning from your vids!
I loved this video! If you do a part 2 on the subject I'd love it!
Awesome Vid Tsuki! That Scorpion is very cute.
Hello. Good stuff buddy. Thought I knew it all. Part 2 would be good. All the best👍🏼😉
Liked the video and your dog. I’ve subscribed as would like to watch more. You have a good presenting style.
Wow
I never knew about these
Honestly sounds surreal
I also can't believe just how horribly underrated your channel is
I can't imagine seeing any of those species in the UK 🤯 super cool video!!!
Damnit i love how these episodes are so professional....amazing to produce content like a channel with 5 million subs but have 50k....this dude is gonna go a long way
I don't care what you post, I'll still watch it. Thank you for making these great videos.
Great stuff! I’d like a part 2.
cool video keep up the good work
thank you, i will do :)
Would love more videos on this subject! And also anything that’s being done for rare species in the uk to help the population like the red squirrel
Awesome video
I always love seeing these videos
Very interesting and informative thank you.
I grew up and now once again live in Lewes East Sussex and I vividly remember two separate occasions of seeing and (carefully) interacting with a wild scorpions. They were small and black in colour.
When I told my Dad he shrugged it off and asked if I'd seen any elephants or giraffes too! To this day I know what I saw and exactly where to within 6 inches. No evidence now though, there were no smart phones back in the 90's.
There have always been scorpions and the like around the walls of docks out of banana boxes etc.
I found a dead scorpion in a hospital corridor back in the 90's. I think they have spread a long way throughout England now.
It still breaks my heart that the red squirrel was basically killed off by the American grey squirrel
It happens to other species too
The Greys need to be eradicated yes they are cute cheeky critters But they are too harmful to the environment and property they are actually Vermin they can be dealt with HUMANELY that is the important part
In Eastern Europe there still are tons of red squirrels
@@yura2424 But are they the same as the reds here they have reds in america as well but they are not the same as our native reds
@@petenikolic5244 We have red squirrels with red and also rarely black fur. They are very fury czcams.com/video/xvB1h9oxX5U/video.html
American squirrels are not that beautiful
Please do a part 2 🤘🏾🙏🏾
Found your channel like 3 days ago and i love watching these kind of videos, could you try doing Sweden for a video :) would be intresting! All the best :)
Never knew about coatis
Brilliant vid bro
I would love more of this!
There was at least 500 wallabies on lambay in 2016 and roughly similar numbers now, I live there currently
Great video
My mum saw a yellow-tail scorpion 2 years ago in a park in Hull. There was also a confirmed sighting several years ago in Cleveland. They are slowly making their way north.
There's wallabies in the UK on some islands of the UK and stuff. Wow, that's so cool actually. They seem like they might be totally fine at being around in small numbers in the ecosystem. They don't seem too destructive? I'd enjoy seeing them around if I visited a island around the UK. Oh the racoon type critter is really cool too. Idk those 2 animals would make the UK kinda exciting.
When I visited México a few years ago, and Belize about month ago, I saw some coatimundis (coatis), and they are as weird as they sound. Also they don't mind people a whole lot
The UK already is exciting. We have tons of amazing wildlife, just everyone here takes it for granted
@@theotheseaeagle Very true
I imagine its ok because theyre cut-off on an island too
one island in the UK
Them st ives shots look stunning ❤️
Very interesting 💚

Red Necked Wallabies in the UK!? Now that's something I never thought I see.
There is between 20-60 wallabies in loch lomond in Scotland
In Wendover I was shocked to see mandarin ducks in the wild on the canal, I find them to be beautiful birds but they shouldn't be there. luckily they don't seem to be causing any problems for the local duck population so they're aloud to stay even being added to the RSPB's UK bird book which my mother tried to use as a way to say they're native, luckily as an animal lover I stuck with my knowledge and informed her that they're from a Asia hence their name.
Yeah i saw one on my dog walk the other day near Bristol, they're so beautiful but you're right they should be here
@@TsukiCove it's funny that even though I'm the known animal person in my family yet mum wouldn't believe me XD
Honestly though they're so beautiful and I got some video of a male and a female swimming there if you ever want some footage of them here in the UK.
I pop any videos on CZcams because it's the only way I can send to my partner, they're always free to use if you ever need :)
@@TsukiCove in my area (a very small secluded foresty area) some of my leaf insects escaped, and they're still here after 2 years.
That was really nice. Could you make such a video about mainland Europe?
I used to live near the wallabies in the Staffordshire Morelands, Peak District. There was around 100 at one time but cause it's the highest point in England it gets very bad winters and that's what eventually killed them off.
I used to catch stick insects when I was kid so they live in the Midlands too, or at least did.
Highest point in England in the peaks lol....
@@kjn6505 I meant highest habitated place in England, you know, how I said i lived there.
Sorry my comment wasn't to your standards. Lol.
I saw one in 2015 hiking in the roaches. It was in a field in the valley near black brook.
@@stephenTcartwright if you managed to get a photo there is a website dedicated to sightings you can email them to
I remember seeing a scorpian in London Lambeth and my dad chopped its stinger off garden shears our home back in the 90s. Never seen one again since.
Could you please do a part 2?
There have been Scorpions in Dover in Kent and Onga in Essex for a couple of hundred years they dont seem to have expanded elsewhere
They are protected and live in the Docks of Dover from back in Sailing Ship times they also live under the platform in Onga Railway Station . they are harmless
There are no Coati wild in the UK now - they were here up until about 2010
I love these videos
Defo need a part two maybe even a part 3
In germany there are nandus (greater rheas) ...i dont understand to this day why nobody did something when they escaped from a farm. There was only a handfull and now there are a few hundred.
Very interesting
Fascinating!!! As an Australian I never expected this!
I have eaten 3 out of 5 of these species at one point or another. Happy to help and do my bit!
Can you share the introductory song on your videos?
Please make part 2 :)
could u do a vid on the care of snakeheads?
Wallabys are often seen on the Hertfordshire/Bedfordshire border in Southern England, many have escaped from Whipsnade Zoo over the years.
Hey, I've seen you do a bunch of videos on endangered and extinct animals. Would you consider doing some on extinct and endangered plants? There's some really interesting ones like the Star Cactus, which is critically endangered in the wild due to mass poaching
Hoped the Wallaby would be mentioned. Have actually seen them at large on the Downs, a truly marvellous sight to see and I hope they thrive for years to come.
When you finally mentioned NZ I had the really nightmarish thought that you were going to say that the weta was living in the UK (sorry but the best weta is a DEAD weta, they used to thrive in our garden and every time you opened the shed door you would have to swish around with the broom or they'd drop on you from the rafters, I still have nightmares).
Gonna watch this later but I know it’s gonna be good
Please do a part 2
I live in Paignton i believe that the stick incect was brought over in a plant shipment ordered by Isaac Singer in which he was using various foreign plants to decorate his garden at oldway mansion in Paignton
Have you done a vid on the invasive crayfish and other fresh water invaders
There's Wallabies in the wild near me in Staffordshire, just outside Leek. I've seen them myself, out in the moorlands near the roaches. I know they're supposedly extinct there now, but they're still there afaia.
One for me was seeing wild Turtles (terrapins) living in the canals of Birmingham. Also mandarin ducks
Terrapins and mandarin ducks are all across the UK, terrapins in particular are pretty common (though elusive)
I’m Australian, and I found it rather interesting that wallabies were found in another country other than Australia.
They in NZ too.
They're on Lambay island in Ireland too.
There's the Eastern Grey Squirrel from North America, also a problem on Vancouver Island, where they are also introduced.
I saw a stick insect once in the north east of England so it seems they are alright in slightly colder climates as well possibly
Yes, please do another one.
How about the false widow spider is it an introduced species? And is there any spiders that are confirmed invasive species?
Yes part two please.
Can you do a video on the Iberian Peninsula ?
Lived the video and would love to see a part 2
You missed out pheasants, red legged partridge and other various non-native gamebirds. Not to mention the fact around 60 million are released into the countryside every single year.
You could mention the grey squirrel, it’s nearly wiped out the native red squirrel in the UK, I don’t think I’ve ever even seen a red squirrel. But I suppose you’re doing more surprising animals in this video. I liked this video though, I would be interested in a part 2.
Suprised you never mentioned there's a whole island of the wee wallabies at Loch Lomond, kayaked out there a few times and tried getting a few pictures
It's weird how I just found out day before yesterday about wallabies existing on Lambay Island and now you post about them existing in the UK
2:45 weren't hares and rabbits also introduced to Britain, or only a particular species?
The wallaby’s didn’t get there on driftwood?
great video i wan tot go find a astick insect now
What’s about Woodwose -Sasquatch or the black big cats in UK 🇬🇧 ?
I don't know if it's been covered in a previous video yet, but the US Common Squirrel is also a problem especially in urban environments in the UK.
That's a problem that is easily mitigated, if you get people to try them as food. They already have traps designed to cleanly kill them.
The beavers where all over me need because they really helped with dams and help with flooding areas, I do think we need to do more to reintroduce and rehabilitate out numbers of animals and insects of all sizes that we’ve pushed out of its habitats in our country
A great video, most important it raises awareness of our native island species. Coypu? Muntjac are an issue, some in my garden a week ago they are everywhere. Greys .. cute, but need to be gone for tufties sake.
The anima im surprised hasn’t been mentioned are the parakeets of London which, according to legend, were first released by Jimmy Hendrix
i saw 3 chipmunks a few years ago on a golf course near Birmingham. They were 15-20yrds away just chasing eachother.
I found a Fire Salamander when I was digging near a river in Wales as a kid
They say theres currently between 10-20 breeding pairs in the UK
Are those not native to the UK? I'm from the Netherlands and they are native here, rare but native.
@@rafox66 Nope they were brought here for experimentation and escaped.
You can buy them as pets though.
Nothing on the green ring necked parakeets around London and the South East?
No mention if the red necked wallabies in Scotland?
I got to admit apart from the scorpion I had no idea about the others and found this quite interesting
Funnily enough I knew about all of them _except_ for the scorpion haha, that surprised me a little.
There is a very famous music producer in the uk also called tsuki
I live in cornwall at the most southerly peninsula and I’ve seen loads of Stick insects and Wallabies(they escaped from a local Cornish Camel Farm and have reproduced), we also have had loads of Big Cat sightings ranging from puma-panther. Even I’ve seen the puma over ten years ago. Cornwall is the best!
We also have wallabies in Inchconnachan, Scotland. They have been there since the 1940's.
There are wallabies on an island in Loch Lomond, in Scotland. I thought this was the most well known population but you didnt mention it. Shows how much I know lol
