Rating: 4.0; Vote: 1
Massive vines that blanket the southern United States, climbing high as they uproot trees and swallow buildings. A ravenous snake that is capable of devouring an alligator. Rabbit populations that eat themselves into starvation. These arent horror movie concepts theyre real stories. But how could such situations exist in nature? Jennifer Klos gives the facts on invasive species. Lesson by Jennifer Klos

We are the most invasive species there is, we have literally invaded every single continent, we have destroyed ecosystems, animals habitats, wiped out entire species, I just really don't know how to explain it, I don't like humans because of this, earth needs our populations to drop, it might sound rude and like im a psycho but coronavirus is doing us a favour, by killing us naturally, before we will actually need to resort to hunger games stuff.

Kudzu, besides being a plant that certainly has NOT ate the American south, is a plant that has significant medicinal and nutritional properties.
Yes, Kudzu is widespread in the southern USA, but so are second homes and other unneeded man made structures, which have caused the loss of far more native species, and natural habitats, than has Kudzu, or any of the other, so called, ''invasive species'' discussed in this video.

Are humans an invasive species
No: in the sense that we define invasive species based on how it negatively effects us and we dont place ourselves into this category
Yes: In that weve invaded just about every corner of the planet and have massively thrown the ecosystem out of balance

Are all species invasive? Yes! In fact invasiveness is a life most appreciated feature! Without that we wouldn't know nature as it is!
