The cane toad, introduced to Australia in 1935 to control crop pests, became one of the country's worst environmental disasters due to its lethal skin toxins, lack of natural predators, and explosive reproduction (one female can lay up to 30,000 eggs), demonstrating how well-intentioned biological control measures can lead to severe ecological consequences when species are introduced without proper risk assessment.

Why Australia HATES this toad🐸🇦🇺Added:
This frog turned into one of Australia's worst environmental disasters. In 1935, Australia imported them to kill crop pests. Big mistake. They ignored the bugs and went full Julius Caesar, conquering everything in their path.
Their skin is packed with lethal toxins.
Snakes, crocodiles, and even pets try to eat them and get absolutely obliterated.
One female lays up [music] to 30,000 eggs at a time. That's not reproduction.
That's an invasion force. The cane toad, Australia's ultimate survival horror.
