Species You Didn’t Know Weren’t Native to North America
There are some species found here in North America that are so common that many people just assume they’re part of the native menagerie. They’re naturalized, which means they’re non-native but have managed to establish reproducing populations here. Some may also be considered invasive, in that they aggressively compete with native species and may even displace them in some places.
I know some of you readers will already be familiar with the fact that the following species aren’t native here. But I bet there’ll be surprises for the rest of you! Let’s see who our not-actually-natives are.
Ring-necked Pheasant (Phasianus colchicus)
Hunters across the continent have long hunted pheasants for the table. First introduced in 1773–exactly 250 years ago–they have since made themselves at home in fields and meadows. While the largest populations can be found in the Midwest, especially the Great Plains states, they can be found throughout the United States, with additional scattered populations in southern Canada and Mexico.
While sometimes assumed to have integrated into their introduced habitats, pheasants actually wreak havoc on native game birds like quail and grouse. They compete for suitable food and nest sites, and may also practice nest parasitism, laying their eggs in other birds’ nests. This competition has led to decreases in native bird populations, as has the spreading of diseases that the pheasants tolerate, but which decimate other species. Pheasants will even attack and kill other birds.
So what other species made the list? Keep reading to find out!
Animal of the Day!
Argali (Ovis ammon)
(Photo by Rigzen Dorjay)
Conservation Status- Near Threatened
Habitat- China
Size (Weight/Length)- 180 kg; 2 m
Diet- Grasses; Shrubs
Cool Facts- The magnificent argali are truly adapted for sheer cliffs and vertical drop offs. While the smaller females and their kids prefer staying at lower elevations, larger males reach elevations of 5,800 meters with ease. Females gather in massive herds of up to 150 individuals while males stick it out in bachelor pads of 30. Herds mingle in the fall and winter in preparation for the mating season where males duke it out. Slamming into each other head first, a clash between fully grown males involves two sets of 20 kilogram horns hitting each other loud enough to be heard 800 meters away. Sadly, argali populations are dropping steadily from livestock ranching and trophy hunting for their massive horns.
Rating- 13/10 (Killed for being beautiful.)
If you’re looking at this, you are one of the first in the world to see the brain cells of the Australian stingless bee (Tetragonula carbonaria).
I’ve been learning the isotropic fractionator method to count brain cells in the brain. The plan is to apply this method to Australian bee species to find out the number of neurons in their brains.

Endless Forms Most Beautiful
LXXXVI: Upupidae
Taking another step into Cavitaves, we come to the order Bucerotiformes, the first family of which is Upupidae: the hoopoes. There are 3 species spread across Afro-Eurasia. Pictured are the Eurasian (Upupa epops) and Madagascar hoopoe (U. marginata).
The name hoopoe and genus Upupa are both onomatopaeic, derived from their hooting "hoop-hoop-hoop" call. Adorning their head is an iconic crest that can be raised and lowered based on mood. Their beak is just as striking: a long, thin, curved tool which the birds use to probe into the soil for invertebrates as they walk or hop along the ground. The flight pattern of hoopoes is often described as "butterfly style", having an undulating and erratic quality, though they are highly capable of avoiding aerial predators nonetheless.
Hoopoes are birds of open areas, such as savanna, dune, and farmland habitats. Like all Cavitaves, they nest in cavities, building a loose platform in a tree hollow or rock crevice. As a striking bird with a wide range, it is no surprise that they have featured in human cultures throughout the ages. Hoopoes are mentioned in both the Torah and Qur'an, are depicted on Egyptian tombs, and were associated with royalty in Crete and Persia.

What is your connection to issues of incarceration (including jails, prisons, detention centers, psychiatric hospitals, etc.)?
I have been incarcerated
I have at least one family member or close friend who has been incarcerated
I know at least one person IRL who has been incarcerated
I talk to at least one person online or by mail who has been incarcerated
I don't *personally* know anyone who has been incarcerated
The sheer number of people answering a big ol’ 0 really surprised me. I really encourage everyone, but especially those folks, to find ways to be involved. Even simple things, like writing letters to incarcerated individuals.
all of these programs also include resources on getting started if you feel intimidated or have no idea where to start!
Black and Pink can connect you to LGBTQ+ and/or HIV+ individuals on the inside.
Survived + Punished has a more general list of those with whom you can correspond, and they also have other ways to be involved in defunding prisons.
Finally, Critical Resistance has even more robust resources, such as abolition newspapers, incarcerated mail programs, several local chapters, and options for direct action. Critical Resistance and Angela Davis are known to be at the forefront of the fight for prison abolition, so I can’t recommend enough.
