In this video I will be focusing on the beautiful country of Canada. Canadas landscape can sometimes be very harsh and unforgiving so it's home to some very hardy herbivores and some very hardy predators. Just like most other countries around the world Canada is also home to some invasive species. I will be going through just a few of these invasive species today as i will be going through 5 problem invasive species in Canada.

For our first problem invasive species we will be travelling over to Europe as we have the European starling. The European starling can decimate farms and outcompete native birds.

For our next problem invasive species we will be travelling to the freshwaters of Eurasia as we have the tench. The tench is a very hardy invasive fish and can survive in many water sources where native fish can't.

For our next invasive species we will be travelling to pretty much anywhere in the world as we have the feral pig. The feral pigs in Canada are thought to be hybrids of the wild boar and domesticated pigs. These feral pigs destroy farms and destroy habitats of native animals.

For our next problem invasive species we will be heading to the coastal waters of Europe as we have the European green crab. The European green crab is one of the worst invasive species in north America as it outcompete native crabs and can negatively effect the fishing industry.

For our final problem invasive species we will be travelling to Russia and China as we have the emerald ash borer. The emerald ash borer is a small metallic insects that feeds on ash trees. This insect is responsible for destroying millions of trees.
