Cane toads affect the environment negatively by being an invasive species. This species invades other countries and takes away food sources from other native organisms. The cane toad is also toxic to predators, which would cause a pet to die if they were to eat a cane toad.
They are an invasive species and they make other frogs compete for the food in the environment.

Cane toads disrupt the ecosystem as they are not native species, but introduced species. As this is the case, they adapt with the food chain, but native creatures which consume similar things to Cane toads, such as small skinks, must compete with the Cane toad for food and resources; therefore, the food chain does not circulate quite as smoothly as it may of before the introduction of Cane toads in 1935.

Cane toads have become an ecological disaster in Australia, and other places to which they have been introduced. They eat the native wildlife, but have no natural predators. Cand toads eat native frog species, as well as other small burds and mammals, and they compete directly with native frogs and other species for food. Many native frog species are at risk of extinction as a result of the cane toad population.

The only animals that have worked out how to eat them safely are crows, which flip the toads over and eat the soft underbelly, where there are no poison glands. Northern quolls have suffered huge population losses because habitat loss and the resultant drop in food sources has driven them to try to eat the cane toad, which has, of course, poisoned these mammals. Any native animal that normally eats frogs will be poisoned by the cane toad.

Cane toads are also continuing to spread south. They are remarkably adaptable creatures, and seem to be becoming hardier, adapting to a wide variety of habitats and climate conditions. They also breed prolifically, and wherever they populate, they push out the native species.

After human population started destroying the predators of the cane toads, they started increasing in population
