Question

What problems is the Cane toad causing in the US?

Answer 1

Native to South and mainland Middle America, Cane toads were introduced to Australia from Hawaii in June 1935 by the Bureau of Sugar Experiment Stations, now the Sugar Research Australia, in an attempt to control the native grey-backed canebeetle (Dermolepida albohirtum) and French's beetle (Lepidiota frenchi).

Answer 2

Explanation:

Cane toads have been linked to the decline and extinction of several native predator species in the Northern Territory and Queensland, including the northern quoll. Their toxin is strong enough to kill most native animals that normally eat frogs or frog eggs, including birds, other frogs, reptiles and mammals.
