Rhinella marina
Rhinella marina, 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 25 centimeters in length. The species is known for its adaptability to various environments, often thriving in urban areas.
Introduced to several countries, including Australia and Hawaii, for pest control, the cane toad has become an invasive species. Its toxic secretions can harm native wildlife and pets, leading to significant ecological impacts. Conservation efforts are ongoing to manage its population and protect affected ecosystems.
