5.9.1 Cane Toad
Cane toads (Bufo marinus) are large terrestrial frogs (Figure 5.26) native to Central and South America, but they are also found naturally in southern Texas. The cane toad has a voracious appetite (it is known for swallowing prey whole) and is a prolific breeder. It was introduced into areas it previously did not occupy for pest control purposes. These included countries bordering the Pacific Ocean (Australia, Fiji, New Guinea, and the Philippines), the Caribbean islands, and Florida. The cane toad will consume almost anything, and its diet includes small rodents, reptiles, amphibians, birds, plants, and many types of invertebrates. Unfortunately, this invasive toad excretes a poison that is toxic to anything else that attempts to subsequently consume it. As an interesting aside, the Embera-Wounan tribe in South America is thought to have once used the toxin from the cane toad for their poison arrows, although this cannot be confirmed.
