Cane Toads - Bufo Marinus, natives of Hawaii - were imported to Australia in 1935 in attempt to rid the country of the Greyback beetle, which
was rapidly destroying their sugarcane crop. The Cane Toads adapted beautifully
to their new surroundings. The problem was, the beetle could fly and the Cane Toad
couldn't. What the Cane Toad is unusually proficent at, however, is making more
Cane Toads - thousands upon thousands more.
Cane Toads: An Unnatural History tells the story of this amphibious assault
- the whole story, warts and all.
