I new it wasn't a cane toad...
but I haven't seen one for quite a while....

I was just in Queensland, I Saw a lot of sugar cane....and never saw a Cane toad...


Lucky?? Probably....

I don't like them... and i wouldn't like putting one in My Freezer either....
Do they hop about until they are Frozen??

Do they kill dogs??? if a dog bites one???

Now I'm glad its too cold for them to live here....

Hmmm....not the frog I'm thinking of....the ones I'm talking about actually burrow down in the sand....we call the "Barra" frogs as,like previously mentioned, they make good bait for catching barra.:puke

YES Lee...they can cause death to your dog if it chews the toad.They are slowly moving down to your house (check yer letterbox!) it was previously thought it was too cold for them but it is now known that the temperature makes little difference to where they can live.We used to cut them up in Biology in school and they would hop around everywhere with the piths still in and their hearts missing.If you used Chloroform t\to knock them out you could remove their innards and they would wake after a while and hop around:puke Hardy little bastards. Would you like me to email "Shaz Baz" to you ???It's aboput 9megs.....very funny!!

that is a BIG cane toad....

mick h... cane toads do make good post cards... find one that has been squished and dried out... out with the artline and into a snapseal bag (to keep the postal workers happy). :)

seriously i sent one to a friend once... he wanted a postcard and was very pushy about it.
