Documents the history of the Cane Toad in Australia. The cane toad - Bufo marinus - was imported to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to rid the country of the greyback beetle, which was devouring the sugarcane crop. Problem was, the beetle could fly, and the cane toad couldn't. What the cane toad was unusually proficient at, however, was making more cane toads. A humorous look at a serious problem.

COMMUNITY REVIEWS
interesting, but not ribbeting? submitted by 21621031390949 on July 12, 2012, 11:33am Having recently visited Australia and seen cane toads, this was interested. Horny little creatures, aren't they?
Hilarious submitted by godzilla on August 24, 2013, 9:17pm Very funny and well edited. Is less about the Cane toads than it is about the human adaption to them.
