Bufo marinus, commonly known as the cane toad, is a large amphibian native to Central and South America. It has a robust body, warty skin, and can grow up to 9 inches in length. The cane toad is primarily nocturnal and feeds on insects, small mammals, and other invertebrates. Introduced to various regions, including Australia and Florida, the cane toad has become an invasive species, causing ecological disruption. Its toxic secretions can harm predators, including pets and wildlife, leading to significant declines in native species. Conservation efforts are ongoing to manage its population and mitigate its impact.
