Our swamp is overrun!
Someone accidentally brought three small Cane Toads from Melbourne, Australia to the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge Swamp in Waycross, Georgia. The animals that live in this habitat are in danger because Cane Toads, along with their tadpoles and eggs, poison many animals that try to eat them, mistaking them for habitat frogs. They have no predators and carry diseases that pollute the water. They eat everything that can fit into their mouths including frogs, crocodiles, snakes, and nesting birds and their eggs, all of which are native to the swamp. Frog numbers decline drastically when Cane Toads are allowed to invade a habitat.
