I went out to let the cats out and look at the little fellows in their cat food.

Please excuse our construction mess.

Yes, I saw one once foam up really big at the mouth when a cat tried to attack it. I think it is poisonous. But, we have cats who will eat out of the dish with them. They seem to sense the harmless cats.

they are a pest out here

some wise guy thought it would be a good idea to introduce em out here decades ago

they are over most of Northern Queensland


The Cane Toad is native to the Americas, from the Rio Grande Valley in southern Texas to central Amazon and south-eastern Peru. This range includes both tropical and semi-arid environments. The density of the Cane Toad within its native distribution is significantly lower than that of its introduced distribution. In South America, it is recorded at densities of 20 adults per 100 square metres, but in Australia the density reaches 1000-2000 adults over the same area

Oh, they will lay eggs in the pool and it seems like a mile long of black eggs hooked together. Just a really long stream of them.
