Interesting/Little Known introduced populations

I think they have found a couple of nile crocs, my understanding not a population

 

I seem to remember hearing they found quite a few, though I don't remember where I read that. A couple crocs could easily start a small population...

 

Wallabies were released by a Duke of Bedford, in Bedfordshire, UK., possibly in the late 1940's or early 1950's. I believe that these were the Tasmanian red-necked species, Bennett's. Several other species were released by him but I do not know if any others survived; possibly some deer are still there.

A few were found, but surveys have discovered no populations.

 

And hopefully it stays that way for the sake of Florida's ecosystem...

 

Its possible you are thinking of the American Crocodile, whose populations are growing rapidly in S. Florida

 

No, it was Nile. DNA analysis proved two for sure.

Chincoteague Island in Virginia has sika deer and key deer.

 

I know Sika Deer are fairly well established on the southern Delmarva, but I do not think the Key Deer subspecies of the Whitetail Deer is present at all.

 

You're correct, I looked up my source for that and had gotten key miked up with sika, then included them both So just Sika.

 

I suppose they are the New Sikas and not the Sikas

Hippos in Texas ! ( from Facebook ) :

Say Hello to our newest invasive species!

4 to 6 adult Hippos were spotted in the Rio Grande this weekend and are plans to capture them are on the way by Texas authorities. It’s thought that they escaped from a captive group housed in Zapatas Mexico further down river. These are likely relatives to the "wild" hippos of Colombia that are the result of Pablo Escobar's private zoo gone wild.

 

It would be cool to have wild hippos in America though, no need to go to Africa!

 

This is why you dont release your pets kids.
