The reason some toads and/or frogs don't freeze in winter is because they have a natural anti-freeze in them, ice crystals form in many areas of the body, but a high concentration of glucose within vital organs of the amphibian keep it from freezing. Once the temperature rises above freezing the organs start to function again.

Why are cane toads so successful in surviving in Australia?

If you are talking about Rugby League supporters, they have the better side.

If you are talking about the amphibians imported eighty years ago to destroy the sugar cane beetle, it is because they found a rich source of insects other than cane beetles and spread accordingly. Their proliferation should have provided good food for birds and land carnivores, however the poison glands on their back killed off potential predators who learnt to leave them alone, and so they proliferated and spread virtually unchecked by the natural food cycle which controls other creatures.

It is only now that such birds as crows have come to learn to flip them on their backs and eat their underside to avoid the poison, but this activity is so minor at present that the toads are now spreading to the western part of the continent.

What impact has the cane toad had on the environment?

The cane toad has had a very negative impact since it was introduced into Australia.

They feed on small native species, and are believed to eat around 200 items of food every night. Because they are prolific, hardy enough to survive a variety of climate and environmental conditions, and are continuing a relentless push south wards, they pose a great threat to native species. As well as ants, beetles and termites, they can also eat frogs, small reptiles, mammals and birds. They compete with native species for food and shelter, and are known to be directly responsible for he decline in a number of native species.

Cane toads have had a major impact on quoll populations in Queensland and the Northern Territory. Quolls are carnivores, and feed on birds, reptiles, arthropods and mammals up to the size of a possum. Habitat loss has resulted in fewer of these species and thus a reduced food source for the quolls, so they have resorted to eating cane toads. Spotted-tail and Northern Quolls are both being killed off as a result of eating the Cane Toad, which is poisonous.
