The Cane Toad is a large neotropical toad mainly located in South America and the Caribbean. Cane Toads came to Australia through Hawaii. Over the years the toads have multiplied rapidly spreading many diseases.
The cane toad is adapting to a wider environmental range and may in the future be spreading into habitats currently not available.Attempts have been made to make use of dead cane toads, which can number in the thousands and cause hygiene problems. Their skin can be made into leather, and novelty cane-toad purses made of the fore-body and abdomen are sometimes seen .Cane toads have also been known to be a significant source of food for humans in their native environment; cane toads are cooked by skinning them and removing the internal organs (including the poisonous glands), then roasting them. It has been said they are like chicken except with a drier taste.In Australian states where the cane toad is common, some 'sports' have developed, such as cane toad golf and cane toad cricket, where cane toads are used as balls. Australia has created many interesting and creative ways to try to get rid of the Cane Toad. Invasive species in the US are wasps and honey bee's. They kill many humans by multiple stings and they produce so fast that we cant get rid of them. we need them to nurture our plants. Another are mosquito's because they always bite multiple times and cause many life threatening diseases. We are creating new medicines and vaccines to get rid of these diseases and we are also inventing new insect repellents but many mosquito's are becoming immune and can resist the repellents.
