Every year, invasive species cause up to $1.4 trillion worth of damage in places they weren't meant to live. Now, people are hunting harmful crabs, snakes, fish, and plants to make whiskey, wallets, and dinner.

Snakes are an absolute gem on Earth, and constrictors can be amazing pets ; but python leather growing in popularity might be the best solution to encourage Burmese python hunters in Florida to help save this ecosystem.

@RaptorRockDrakeJesus Год назад

Gets annoying when they just don't put the snakes out of their misery in the video. No, no, they gotta be alive for the bounty? And for what, just to cause more stress and pain on those animals. Also I doubt the water hyacinth is the main reason the rivers are losing life, pretty sure it's the floating trash heaps those ppl call villages

@hunterhq295 Год назад

Been looking at this another perspective, If only invasive species could be returned to their homeland as easily as they were brought over? I mean they're just doing what they need in order to survive in a habitat they're not used to and were brought to against their own will.

@ShhhHhhhz Год назад

do a little google seach and it will tell you that Burmese pythons are classified as vulnerable species. do you think the hunters will simply stop when Florida's pythons are all hunted out?

Touring the Everglades several years ago in an airboat, we came upon an area that was brimming with raccoons. The captain stopped and the raccoons came aboard to check us out. Last year, we went out again and I asked where the raccoons were. I got the answer, “The pythons have eaten them.” They are decimating the bird population in the Everglades.

@victory8928 10 месяцев назад

I mean there are more than just pythons introduced the monitors and other large lizards love to snack on raccoon young and raccoons are also being competing with these invasive species. The python just gets the most blame cause they are the most easily vilified. Alligators do hunt pythons though albeit until a certain size.

When we get backache or knee ache, we rub this on the part and its work almost instantly. That thing sells for 1-200$ per jar and catching 1 single python is enough for a village family to live for half a year. Thats why python became so rare in asian countries and are redundant in the west. And also, python skin could easily become belt or purse, which easily get people 3-500$ per python

@redtsun67 10 месяцев назад

We're more like regulators than predators. If this were truly a natural process, then the invasive species would simply occupy it's respective place on the food web, and the ecosystem around it would adapt to this new influence in the area. We as humans attempt to regulate nature, because we have advanced to a point where we are no longer a part of the natural order.

There's this Vietnamese noodle dish made from crab: Bún riêu or bún riêu cua đồng (field crab noodle)... Basically small fresh water crabs are caught on the rice fields, since these crabs are small and don't have much meat, they get smashed into a paste, then filtered through a thin cloth to separate the hard shells, what left is this muddy flesh mixture residue from the crabs. Vietnamese would use this crab residue to put in boiled soup and it form a sponge like substance call riêu in bún riêu ... Nowadays it's hard to find crab on the fields, and for economic reason, people would mix this crab residue with eggs to form crab cakes for Bún riêu .....If Vietnam has this much crabs they wouldn't have to mix it with eggs at all . Vietnam cua đồng or field crabs are like 1/3 or 1/4 the size of these invasive crabs, imagine how much meat residue you get with these big crabs being smashed up and ground to a paste.

Great video! This is teh kindd of environmentalism I can get behind. It is practical, solves problems, is borne from human innovation, is capitalist, provides jobs and actually benefits people.

Ironic that the typha briquets produce less smoke... but they have to burn them for 6 hours beforehand, thereby releasing all the pollutants that wood would have anyway.

"Then, in 1992, dozens of Burmese Pythons escape a breeding facility, when Hurricane Andrew hit." Don't know where you're getting your facts from but, Pythons were already on the loose and out of control in the Everglades long before Andrew. When I was in elementary school, back in the early to mid 80's, we took a couple field trips to the Everglades and the Rangers talked a lot about invasive species and their impact. Pythons were the primary subject. Just about every little Cuban boy thought it was cool to have a pet Python, until they grew to large to manage. Then, they'd just release them into the wild because they were a pet and they couldn't be bothered to take them to a zoo.

It's horrible to see aguapé (water hyacinth) causing problems in other parts of the world, I never knew that, because they are native where I live. I guess it's a case of you reap what you sowed

@laattardo 10 месяцев назад

This was an interesting video, thank you. I live in New England and had no clue about the green crabs. Ive known about the pythons in the everglades for a while now and they too struggle with water hyacinth. I went to a aquarium in LA and they had an educational section all about them. I'm highly impressed with the ingenuity of the people dealing with the Typia (spelling?) The clay bricks made with the plant materials are a great approach to handling the plant. I do understand the concern of creating a demand with these approaches but, i also dont think any of these issues will completely go away, so methods and means of controlling them are necessary.

@peterparsons7141 7 месяцев назад

“ they keep the snake on the ground, lifting it in the air, would scare it “ Really? I didn’t think snakes were afraid of heights. How do they know ? Do they ask the snake to rate its fear level. Compared to having someone step on your neck, would you rate heights as the scariest thing ? I really enjoy these videos, and the camera work is very well done. The narration often is questionable.

@tenderapple1671 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for sharing this. I don't live in any of those places. Could you do a video on invasive plants/animals from lots of different places? Something that I could identify and use. Show how to identify it and how to use it. I want to do my part but the internet is big and not all together trustworthy also there is a lot of conflicting information.

Idk how we can drive other things extinct but not invasive species

@QuesoCookies 7 месяцев назад

Things are being driven to extinction already in their natural habitats by their natural predators. Our removing enough to keep them from being able to repopulate quickly enough to sustain themselves agains natural threats is what causes their populations to collapse. It's not like we're going out and killing every single one of them. We're just tipping the scales until the problem cascades irreversibly.

I wish I lived where you do. I would be SOOOOOO into this. I have a 5ft ball python and a baby cornsnake as pets and the python is a Reptile Rescue animal. I love snakes and grew up along the Ottawa River so I have encountered many different wild animals. As much as I love my animals, I would not have a problem hunting these snakes just for the thrill of it. Also they would probably be meeting up with my BBQ as well.

@TinaTissue28 7 месяцев назад

I'm in Australia and i grew up with my parents being wild life carers. Taught me how to love an animal but also be fine with being let go or euthanised. Like foxes and rabbits are a massive invasive species here. We did not hesitate to play with the fox cub for an afternoon, but was completely fine and understood why it couldn't be alive in Australia.
