Cane Toad
Uploaded: July 08, 2007
One of Australia's biggest pests. The Cane Toad. Yes they look cute to some, but when you get numbers in the millions they are kaotic. They were deliberately introduced from Hawaii to Australia in 1935 to control scarab beetles that were pests of sugar cane.
They're a massive problem as the females lay 8,000 to 35,000 eggs at a time and may produce two clutches a year. The eggs hatch within 24-72 hours.
You can imagine how many millions bread each year and what a plague this creates.
