This is the Bufo Toad is very large, about the size of an adult hand. they are generally found in temperate to sub-tropical forested areas near a water source (where breeding takes place). Highly adaptable to all but extremely cold conditions, cane toads can flourish from arid to tropical rain forest habitats. These toads will eat virtually anything they can catch and fit in their mouths. They are voracious feeders, using persistence, energy, and surprising turns of speed to capture their prey. The Whistleing Kite, the Rakali, Black Rat and Water Monitor eat the Toad. They are Grayish tan and dry warty skin. They have a bony head and over their eyes are bony ridges that meet above the nose. They sit upright and move in short rapid hops. Their hind feet have leathery webbing between the toes and their front feet are unwebbed. Adult Cane Toads have large swellings - the parotoid glands - on each shoulder behind the eardrum.
