We collected 12!!! tonight Have the fridge running and they r now refridgerating humanely And then they will go into the freezer this time tomorrow night 😊😊😊😊 Then I’ll call the frog-road collectors and they will extract the venom and use it to make antivenom In the process we r saving these πŸ‘‡πŸ½ little fellas so they can freely live 😊 🐸 😊😊 🐸 this beautiful little fella was on the front fence. I hope to make them a frog hotel No flash used just slower exposure

This amazing 2.7 kg cane toad was found nearby where I live. It might have been a record... just look at this beastie!

I'm kind of sad it was euthenised, but it's for the best. Cane toads have completely devastated our native wildlife.

are an invasive species in Australia. We take them out of the environment on a regular basis. They are ethically and humanely euthanised. Their bodies go to create a bait to remove their toadpoles from watersources.
Last nights adventure included a male Koala bellowing, Boobook Owl, geckos, FrogID recordings and frog sightings and about 90 Toads removed. Count for this property is now about 450.

Fascinating behaviour. Birds have learnt how to wash the toxins off cane toads so they can eat them.

Since 1930 when they were introduced, have had limited natural predators in Australia.

The times are changing as we can add to the list.

The much maligned Ibis has learned to eat cane toads. Surely this is a case of Zero to Hero.

The ibis, a.k.a. "bin chicken", is now eating cane toads. Adaptation at its finest.
