The World's Most Indestructible Invasive Species

Texas is famous for many things, but a roaming population of African Black Rhinos and Asian Axis Deer usually isn't one of them. This film looks at the bizarre reality of "Texotics," where endangered species from across the globe find a second chance on American soil. While some of these imports offer a lifeline for animals facing extinction in their home countries, others have sparked a biological war that costs billions of dollars in damages every year. From the high-altitude peaks of Nevada where Himalayan Snowcocks thrive to the dark sewers of our major cities ruled by "Super Rats," the American wilderness is changing. You will see the territorial battles between exotic Peacocks and native Turkeys and witness how a single ship's ballast water unleashed a 4-billion-dollar nightmare in the Great Lakes. This is the story of human interference, accidental migrations, and the resilient predators that are forced to clean up the mess. Nature always finds a way to balance the scales, but the price of these "X-rated" imports is higher than anyone ever expected.
