It is fascinating seeing just how big that girl is.

Frogs and any other poorly considered introduction to a new environment wreaks such incredible havoc on native species. When Australia was first colonized, predators were limited to some animals such as Tasmanian Devils, Quolls, Crocodiles and the Tasmanian Tiger (which is now extinct). Delicate fauna and flora were able to flourish in this harsh climate because of the lack of large predators. Since colonization, we have or have had massive problems with foxes, cats, dogs, rabbits, goats, camels and now the cane toad. I know every country has similar problems as a direct result of accident or ignorance.
