The Plants and Animals DESTROYING Ecosystems | Invasive Species

Invasive species are everywhere. Plants and animals have been crossing borders into areas they didn't evolve in since humans started bringing them along. But not every plant and animal that is brought into a new area is invasive. So what makes something invasive? In this episode we explore the Kudzu vines, the Zebra Mussels, and even cats.
This channel serves to be a fun, entertaining, and educational source of answers to commonly asked questions. New episodes are every Thursday.
I appreciate any support and feedback on the channel to help me improve and make the best content possible for you.

    Why doesn’t the government do something about it? I can only do so much as an individual

    No one needs to do anything about it except stop fighting it and behaving as if this process, which is one of the main drivers of the process of evolution, is bad. Challenging? Sure. Horrible and something that must be stopped? Not in the least.

    they change the eco system not destroy it. every plant and animal started as an invasive and they have came and gone ever since. ya can't just stop time and everything just remain stagnant for eternity.

    Species disperse. With and without our help. They have for a long, long time and if we want to survive as long as possible, ourselves, we will make sure they continue to do move around the planet to find suitable habitats as the climate changes rapidly and we will certainly stop fighting it.

    Not logical - virtually all foliage has graze value for ruminants. The issue is we don’t graze ruminants on side of highway, power lines, any open space like your neighborhood or yard!
