Wanted: A trap for toxic toads

By Kathy Marks in Sydney
08 February 2005

Wildlife authorities in Australia are so desperate to combat the
country's worst pest, the dreaded cane toad, that they are staging a
competition to find the best trap. The poisonous amphibians have been
marching across the continent since 101 of them were introduced to
Queensland in 1935 in an effort to eradicate cane beetles in the sugar
crop...
The Northern Territory government is offering A$15,000 (=A36,150) to the
inventor of the most effective trap. Cane toads secrete a deadly toxin
and have killed even dingoes and freshwater crocodiles. They have a
voracious appetite and a rampant libido, and breed rapidly.
