Up here, cane toads are as common as backpackers, hippies and property developers. Unlike these, we can actually kill cane toads. Should we? Well, they are an introduced species. But so is the dingo, technically speaking. Have they been here long enough to be considered locals? Probably not. They do have a huge impact on the native fauna though and have all but decimated native animal populations wherever they spread.

Apologies for the repeated question below, apparently embedded tweets don’t allow you to embed the reply only, and some don’t seem to render at all. Hopefully twitter will fix this.
