Cane Toad’s on Kimberley Island in Western Australia are baffling researchers as they continue to thrive and prosper alongside our native wildlife.
WA’s cane toad strategy team are surprised that the national pest is able to coexist with animals that in the rest of the country are negatively impacted by the toads.
There is no permanent water on the island, and it is believed the cane toads spend more time underground where the soil is moist, leaving more food sources for species like yellow spotted goanas, and quolls.
