Wildlife on Two - Cane Toads

Logo for Wildlife on Two - Cane Toads

When 101 South American toxic cane toads were transported 15,000 km to Australia, disaster ensued. Australian animals, having never seen a toad, tried to eat them. Many died. Meanwhile, the toads bred wildly, spreading through the bush and into the suburbs. The toads live for a long time, can eat almost anything and have no predators in Australia.
