Cane toads are widespread throughout the state of Queenslnd, and the northern part of the Northern Territory, particularly around Kakadu. They are now also encroaching further down the coast of New South Wales, having reached Yamba, and a colony has even been found as far south as Port Macquarie.
The cane toad was introduced into Australia. Australia has no native toads at all.

Ironically they were introduced to destroy a cane-beetle plague. But the beetles are living in cane, where the toads cannot reach them. Also, cane beetles are too small to serve as food, so the toads left the canefields and entered forrests and swamps where they eat anything they can swallow. So recently, they are a pest themselves.
The only species of the true toads (Bufonidae) family that lives in Australia is the Cane Toad. But this species was intruduced by man.
Cane Toads originate from Central- and North America. They were introduced in many nations with Australia as the most well-known country.
The effects that cane frogs have on the Australia population and ecology is the depletion of native species. Cane frogs are toxic to humans and pets when digested. The cause is that the cane toads are have a mixed of toxins that secret a milky liquid from their parotid glands.
No. Cane toads were brought into Australia to eat the cane beetles devastating the sugar cane crops in northeastern Australia. The toads were an experiment, imported into the country by the Australian Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations to eat cane beetles, specifically, Greyback and French's Cane Beetles. These native beetles ate grass roots, bored into the roots of sugar cane crops and caused the plants to die and go brown. Using poison controls had been unsuccessful, so it was hoped cane toads would prove to be an effective biological control on the beetles.
