British Animals You Won't Find in America - Anglophenia Ep 27 

***** Gotta go fast

Genta I doubt, because of their size, that robins flew to the america's

Genta Robins would be unlikely to be able to fly across the oceans. Hedgehogs are not native to the United States/North America. You can get Nile Monitors at pet stores, too, but that doesn't mean they're native to the United States.

Genta the USA doesn't have any *native* hedgehogs I think is the point. Same with the robin - which is definitely not the same in the USA as the robin in the UK (www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/American_Robin/id versus en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_robin)

Andrew Griffin Were they African robins or European robins?

Well I'll disappoint you as he's from peru

Emanuel de Matos lol took me a while to figure out what you meant

Emanuel de Matos he's from the darkest Peru though

Emanuel de Matos eyyy

Well for a starters we dont have bears in britain

Where did she move off to?

@@jamestorres1414 She moved to America to play some roles in College Humor videos and to work as a staff writer for the Rick & Morty TV series.

Those are honey badgers, I don't think they are the same species

Honey Badgers live in Africa. We have badgers that are different than the black and white ones in Britain, but those are not the ones in the Honey Badger videos. We have martens, but mostly we have blackfooted ferrets, weasels, fishers, and wolverines(the biggest kind of weasel). We don't have stoats either. They're like a light brown version of the pine marten in this video.

She's leaving? When, why, where, how????

She didn't say, just dropped the bombshell that she was moving on at the end of this video. Sigh.

***** She's moving on to pursue a career as a chimney sweep, evident by her new hat

Blimey!

***** I just saw her on College Humor! The Gluten video. Woo hoo!

In England they collect coins. It's the Japanese hedgehog that collects rings.

Maxx B. Two different species, clearly.

She moved on to CollegeHumor for awhile and I just saw that she's one of the writers for Rick and Morty.

HemlockRidge yes but obviously different species, so our one is not the same as yours.

@@Invader_Era Why yes! The American Pine Martin IS, in fact, a different species. Duh. BUT STILL, there are Martins in North America. So what's your point?

Galen Alexander Deeds Moffat was the worst

***** since when is she leaving :(

WibblyWobblyTimeyWimey I like your name.

WibblyWobblyTimeyWimey Since she announced it at the end of the video...

I know, but why? :(

WibblyWobblyTimeyWimey Because she's moving on.

I noticed d that too

+Maria Cowle I yelled "RINGS!" at the screen then quickly got over it

+Maria Cowle Maybe they changed it for copyright reasons?

Not natively, no

+Sam I just had never thought that some countries wouldn't have little spiky yet squishy creatures bumbling about at night!

Not only that, but most pet hedgehogs in the states are African hedgehogs, so they don't have dark little faces like the British ones.

candiduscorvus wow that's really interesting Xx

We have American opossums and raccoons that bumble around at night here and cause a lot of nuisance sometimes.

I know I’m 3 years late but she now works for Collegehumor.

@@obsolete_5807 thanks

Nachiket Pradhan no problem

I remember when I found one was a kid. I picked it up because it was harmless but everyone ran away. :(

Sian Louise Greenwood We actually have many species of legless lizards in the United States. I still probably wouldn't pick them up if I were you, because the mucous they secrete to get away from predators is completely disgusting.

I am glad i don't live in the U.S then lol

When I was working on the BT network some years ago , I found a gang of the little guys in an underground network box. As they are a protected species, we had to inform the local council to look after them. A few hundred metres down the road, there was another box with a colony of a hundred or so red and black spiders with hourglass markings on their backs. I was the only person not petrified to get into the pit... Fun times. As an aside, I am surprised not to see the British badger included in this list.

Sian Greenwood Unfortunately she was wrong about them not being in America. We call them glass snakes and they are very common at least in Florida. Caught many of them myself. Not slimy and have no teeth to speak of and completely harmless.

Exactly, therefore they don't have the ones in the video..

Don't be obtuse dipshit.

Chris Jenkins Calm down, i was only stating a fact...

No you're still being obtuse, because you will find pine martens and red squirrels in America and even if they are different species the differences exist on a purely genetic level that is unnoticeable to the naked eye (in fact at one time they were considered the same species before genetic testing was possible). Clearly the aim of this video was to showcase animals that might seem unusual to Americans. By your logic they could have put brown bears, bison, crows, or pigeons in this video just because they are technically different species than the American variants but of course all Americans are very familiar with those animals so it wouldn't make sense to do so.

Chris Jenkins No, but what I mean is that if they are a different species, they're fine to be shown in the vid, regardless if thre's an animal which looks the same but is genetically different..

***** Well, they aren't *in* the wild around here.

Same as in Canada, and I almost adopted one Lol

America has hedge hogs.

You don't have hedgehog get your facts right

***** Well it sounds like those people need to read a book.

Girls can't play video games!

+Brad Evans How can a five ounce bird carry a one pound coconut?

+Matthew Coullace No, they'd have to have it on a line.

+Daniel Lawson It's a reference to Monty Python

+Michael Panggabean he was referencing the next line

+evilmick66 Simple. Just use a line of creeper.

Haggis is boiled and stuffed sheep stomach.

Where?

Same family.

ZombieGirl416 Where did you grow up and what schools?

I grew up in Naples, It's south Florida, the Gulf side. Went to Lely high.

I know Naples. I'm from Orlando.

Cool, I have family in Orlando :)

I've been to Orlando a few times Gator land is cool

I thought a glass snake was a Chinese grass snake

flips220 Yasssss!!!

M

Sandy Lewis We have a good amount of those animals too... lol.

Sandy Lewis A bit of research would educate yourself tremendously. We may not have Panthers or Bobcats, but we have more than you think unfortunately for you.

Xqueros You certainly don't have our native wildlife, unless you imported them. Many of the animals you think are ubiquitous have been introduced to Great Britain in the past few hundred years. A little research and some examples would go a long way in supporting your mysterious statement. The only animal on my list that you "have", is the Himalyan porcupine which is terrestrial and very small and meek, while ours is arboreal and quite large. Ours is entirely native to all of the Americas. Yours originated from around the Indian sub-continent. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_mammals_of_Great_Britain

Sandy Lewis Ummm I have a Guinea Pig and I'm in the UK...

Xqueros I'm sure you do. Do you know where they are from? Do you know what a capybara is?

+Tallie Watson Found one in my garden not that long ago. Bizzarely it had managed to get into the chicken coop and was attacking the adolescent chickens. I crawled in wearing oven mitts, rescued him, made him some boiled eggs and set him free. He hasn't been back since :)

Really! That's cool! The one I found was just wandering around the caravan site!

+Tallie Watson Irish Travellors consider the hedgehog a delicacy.

+john smith They cover whole body in clay then cook it on fire then just crack the clay shell open.

Ah, poor things.

+DMG02 It's not a swear word, it's a part of the female body

Iain Campbell But it is used as profanity these days because humanity is a failure.

+aznfangrl612 They are completely different. A hedgehog is closer to an armadillo.

no

+aznfangrl612 NOOOOOO

No they look very similar but are DEFINITELY DIFFERENT XD

Ruby Rogers They look nothing like each other...

+Kentucky 1950 Yes! They stalk my bird feeders and run the other birds out. (And the farmers aren't crazy about them, either.)

I'm sure they wish we'd take our gray squirrels back. Now THAT's a nuisance if you have a bird feeder.
