Cane Toads exposes one of the most bizarre biological blunders of all time. In 1935, in a strategic operation designed to save the nation’s sugar cane crop from destruction by the greyback beetle, the Queensland Government imported a sackload of Bufo Marinus, the cane toad, from Hawaii.

The cane toad adapted beautifully to its new environment, spread everywhere, ate everything and soon became a pest of plague proportions.
