All About Cane Toads
Regardless of Toadzilla’s exact weight, we can all agree: She is BIG. Which makes sense, because cane toads are the largest known toad species.
They’re native to South and Central America, where they inhabit sand dunes, coastal grasslands, and forest margins. Individuals can live up to 15 years in the wild, females grow larger than males, and the species is highly poisonous—oozing a milky mix of toxins from warty glands. They’re generalist predators, eating everything from insects to small birds, mammals, and other amphibians.
