Mr. Toad

The Cane Toad is tough and adaptable, as well as being poisonous throughout its life cycle, and has few predators in Australia.They were deliberately introduced from Hawaii to Australia in 1935, to control scarab beetles that were pests of sugar cane. In 2002, Cane Toads occur throughout the eastern and northern half of Queensland and have extended their range to the river catchments surrounding Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory (source: Australian Museum)
