Cane Toads in Oz

Just hearing those words creates fear and loathing in many Australians. These feral amphibians have become a major invasive threat to Australian biodiversity since their introduction in North Queensland. Reports that these poisonous amphibians have invaded the Northern Territory and are heading for Western Australia fuel this national sense of fear and loathing. Community groups have been mobilized in the attempt to quell this stampede.
