Raises a lot of questions and my wife won't let me ask her any more. Who is that seagull on the lookout for? Does it think that someone wants to take the half-devoured squirrel from its mouth? Does someone want to? #Gardening: If I put French fries in a bird feeder then gradually decreased the amount of french fries would seagulls eat the squirrels? Is this a viable squirrel deterent? Would this be an #australian #canetoad situation? https://www.tiktok.com/@planetaferoz000/video/7246411862424767750?referer_url=www.cbc.ca%2Fradio%2Fasithappens%2Fgull-eats-squirrel-1.6890338&refer=embed&embed_source=null%3Bnull%3Bembed_blank&referer_video_id=7246411862424767750

I remember seeing that #canetoad documentary decades ago. Great big toads brought to Australia to eat cane beetles, but that didn't really work. They just multiplied as an invasive species.
There is a scene where it is shown that the #toad will eat anything that moves and is small enough to gulp. A ping pong ball is bounced past a toad and it goes for it...
My worry is that we are the toads now and #AI will be an endless source of ping pong balls.

The #CaneToad was NOT a great decision. 🤬 Here's another one Australians are introducing... camomba weevils.
Add it to the list of invasive catastrophes: #Camel #Rabbit #FireAnt

This week, Bigfoot has been sighted in Colorado on Google Earth (maybe), Japanese fish that play Pokémon commit wire fraud, and Toadzilla — the largest toad ever seen — is uncovered in Australia. (And check the comments for…Phallus Texas!)

‘Public enemy number one’: on the hunt with #Queensland’s volunteer #canetoad busters "After 24 hours in the fridge, the cold-blooded creatures slip peacefully into a state of torpor. The freezer induces sleep from which they never wake. This leaves the obvious problem, though, of what to do with so many frozen toads."

Could 'Toadzilla' be the world's largest cane toad on record?
This 'monster' amphibian, spotted in Queensland, weighs a whopping 2.7kgs and is 25cms long.
