Cane toads in Australia...
Cane toads are large toxic frogs native to Central and South America. They were introduced into Australia in 1935 in an attempt to control pest beetles of the Queensland sugar cane industry. They have rapidly spread across Northern Australia and are still marching Westwards at a rate of 50km per year. They are also spreading South from their point of release but at a much slower rate.
