Published in Daily Trivia
The Cane Toad is a large, terrestrial toad native to Central and South America. Because of its voracious appetite, the Cane Toad has been introduced to many regions as a method of agricultural pest control (most notably Australia). However, it's now considered the pest in many of these introduced regions, as its toxic skin kills many native predators when ingested. It has many negative effects on farmers because of pets and animals eating the creatures.
