What is a "cane toad"?
A cane toad is a large and highly adaptable amphibian native to Central and South America. It has a distinctive warty appearance, ranging in color from brown to gray, and can grow up to 10-15 centimeters in length. The cane toad is infamous for its introduction into various regions around the world as a biological control agent for pests, but it has become an invasive species in many areas, posing a threat to native wildlife. Its toxic skin secretions serve as a defense mechanism against predators and can be harmful to animals that attempt to prey upon it.
