OT Invent a Cane Toad Trap
We have some talented people in rec.ponds.
Anyone need a project to keep them busy until spring? Wanted: A trap for toxic toads By Kathy Marks in Sydney 08 February 2005 Wildlife authorities in Australia are so desperate to combat the country's worst pest, the dreaded cane toad, that they are staging a competition to find the best trap. The poisonous amphibians have been marching across the continent since 101 of them were introduced to Queensland in 1935 in an effort to eradicate cane beetles in the sugar crop... The Northern Territory government is offering A$15,000 (=A36,150) to the inventor of the most effective trap. Cane toads secrete a deadly toxin and have killed even dingoes and freshwater crocodiles. They have a voracious appetite and a rampant libido, and breed rapidly. Rest of the article he http://ihmp.net/@/vxt or http://news.independent.co.uk/world/...story=3D608876 |
