So Now You Know

The cane toad is the largest toad in the world. The glands on its neck produce a poison so toxic that it can kill most animals. The cane toad is also known as the giant toad or the marine toad. It was introduced into Australia from Hawaii in the 1930s with the mistaken belief that it would control the destructive sugar cane beetle.

The African giant frog is the largest of all frogs and toads, growing up to 66 cm (26 in) and weighing up to 4.5 kg (10 lb).
