Poisonous Toad Population Explodes In South Florida

Residents in South Florida are witnessing what looks like a scene from a B-movie, thousands of little toads hopping around all over the place. Large swarms of toads are darting across roads, clogging pool filters, invading gardens, and hanging out in yards in droves. May sound silly to worry about but the residents have a right to, these are not common toads, these are Cane Toads. These Invasive (not native) amphibians are named after the sugar cane fields they should be hanging out in down in South America. What makes them different than other toads in North America is their size, and that they’re highly toxic. The poison glands on the back of its head are the largest in the toad species and capable of killing larger animals, they are known to kill crocodiles in Australia.

The attack took place after the man who was identified as a cab driver stopped off to relieve himself in a wooded area by a watering hole. While the man was there he noticed an injured Sloth Bear and decided to take a selfie with the animal. The bear reacted like how you would expect, it attacked the man.
