5 Introduced And Non Native Species In The UK

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.

    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

    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.

    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.

    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! :)

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.

    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).

    Just a small VO tip, if that's okay: Whilst the diction, intonation and pacing are fine, the wide dynamic range is a bit jarring. Try not to hit each part following a breath with so much punch, and then don't tail off as you approach the next pause; level it all out somewhat. ;-)

    I know it's a big can of worms but there are also the big cats. I don't know if they are still around (or rather managed to breed successive generations) but know for certain that a lot were released into the wild in 1976 when the DWAA (dangerous wild animals act) came into effect prohibiting the unlicensed keeping of certain animals, those who already had these animals were faced with either handing them over to licensed zoos or more likely having them put down by vets because the zoos were full. As such people took them into the countryside and turned them loose, I know two families down in the south west who did this and they apparently weren't the exception

    You even have the Woodwose or Sasquatch in Wales, central England and around mount mac dhui in Scotland. There are about 500 sightings and encounters the last 20 years in UK. Believe it or not. Even in Scandinavia and especially in Sweden 🇸🇪 are some of those extremely shy bipedal creatures and in the Black Forest (Schwarzwald) in southern Germany. Look on KZread for „Near death experience in the black forest“ or for „Discovering the Swedish Bigfoot 1 - 3“. You will be surprised what’s going on even here in Europe.

    I have seen UK wallabies twice. The first time I was driving to Leeds in Yorkshire, I was between Bawtry and the A1 and I thought I saw a hessian sack of sand, like the sacks used to hold temporary road signs in place…until it moved and I saw it’s face. Oh how everyone laughed when I said “I saw a kangaroo on my way here” Second time it was on the side of the A46 as I was approaching Newark. I also had a ‘mouse’ in my house when I lived in Derbyshire. Courtesy of my warrior cat Ronnie. Only this mouse size creature looked like a mouse and a kangaroo had had babies. I released it, unharmed. Only years later did I find out the poor thing was not native and I’d probably sentenced it to certain death. Most _exotic_ animals can’t survive a cold winter. Such a pretty little pale grey/creamy beige thing. Sorry I can’t remember it’s name. Edited to add, I live in the West Midlands, pretty damned close to Birmingham. (8mile to city centre) and I have badgers, non invasive in my garden!
