5 Problem Invasive Species In Australia

In this video I will be going through 5 problem invasive species that can be found in Australia. Australia has been separated from the rest of the world for around 180 millions years. This separation means that there are many unique creatures in Australia that can't be found anywhere else in the world. This unique ecosystem is also a very vulnerable ecosystem and invasive species are a big problem on Australian shores.

For our first problem invasive species we will be heading over to north Africa and the middle east as we have the dromedary camel. The dromedary camel is the largest and most common camel in the world and there is a large feral population in Australia.

For our next invasive species we will be heading to the freshwaters of north America as we have the rainbow trout. The rainbow trout is one of the worst invasive species in the world and is listed on the IUCN's 100 most invasive species list. The Rainbow trout was imported into Australia for the recreational fishing industry and is still a problem today.

For our next invasive species we will be heading to the northern hemisphere as we have the red fox. The red fox is one of the most widespread mammals in the world. One of the reasons behind this is that they're very adaptable and intelligent animals.

For our next problem invasive species we will be heading over to the freshwaters of Eurasia as we have the smooth newt. The smooth newt is a relatively small species of newt and is now the only species of newt that can be found in Australia.

For our final problem invasive species we will be making the short trip over to south east Asia as we have the water buffalo. The water buffalo is one of the largest bovine animals. Water buffalo are commonly domesticated for use on farms. There is a large population of feral water buffalo in Australia and it's population could be growing.

If you know of any more problem invasive species then let me know in the comments below.
Thanks for watching :)
