Reason for introducing cane toad Cane toads, Bufo marinus were introduced into Australia to control the grey backed cane beetle and the frenchie beetle that were destroying sugarcane crops, they are still spreading across Australia. They failed to control the cane beetles, and became a major pest themselves. Cane toads can harm native wildlife by eating small animals and poisoning larger predators that try to eat them.
