What is being done about the cane toads?
Cane toads are a threat to nature's balance! They effect the food chain majorly! You grown ups should be aware of these problems!I kmow this doesn't answer your question. You should go to a different website to find the answer to this question that only scientists know!
Were cane toads brought into Australia to eat sugar cane?
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.
Do cane toads eat green tree frogs?

What crop was the cane toad supposed to protect?
Cane toads were actually supposed to protect the sugar canes. but instead, they didn`t. They had to protect the sugar cane because of the can beetles, which lived underneath the crop, and blocked all the water out, which caused it to go all yellow, and then collasped. The suger cane i mean. Branidi out.
How do you make a H in cursive?
First you make a cane. Then, 1cm after the cane, make a backwards cane. As you come up loop to the first cane and make the loop stretch beyond the backwards cane.
Why did cane toads come to Australia?
Cane toads were imported by the Australian Bureau of Sugar Experimental Stations to eat cane beetles. The beetles were a major pest of sugar cane and threatened to ruin the industry. The Greyback and French's Cane Beetles, native insects that naturally ate grass roots, bored into the roots of sugar cane crops and were causing the plants to die and go brown. Control with poisons like arsenic trioxide, carbon disulfide and even 1,4 dichlorobenzene was failing badly, and the success of biological control against he prickly pear led influential politicians and the CSIR to believe the toad would eat the beetles.Unfortunately, toads cannot access adult beetles which fly away and the larvae live underground, so the experiment was a failure. European common toads (Bufo bufo) were tested for controlling grass grubs, but it was found they could not dig down to reach them - a basic quarantine process never done with cane toads.Since none of Australia's native animals have resistance to bufotenin (unlike other places where cane toads have been introduced), they have become more of a pest than the beetles ever were. Quolls, medium-sized carnivorous marsupials, have been very badly hit by poisoning from toads and now are largely confined to Tasmania where toads cannot reach (they sink in seawater). Many snakes have also declined badly where toads are present.Fertility control methods, though as yet unproven despite years of research, offer the only hope for control. However, I do not even know basic questions on this issue like how long poisonous toad eggs remain viable without sperm to fertilise them - I have assumed they would eventually die in the absence of sperm, but I have not found data.

How long can baby toads live without eating?
Toads are cold blooded, and when chilled can go several months without eating..However, when temps rise they must feed on a daily basis because their metabolism also rises with the temperature.

How do you get past the black toads on paper Mario on the Nintendo 64?
Talk to Merlon after talking to the toads and he will tell you to bring him to the toads. Once you get to the toads again Merlon will find out there not toads and unmask them as the Koopa Bros. The Bros will run away and you will be able to continue on Pleasant Path.
