Thousands of adorable but poisonous Bufo toads, which can kill pets and are dangerous to children, have invaded a suburban Florida neighborhood.
Cane toads, as they are known, range from 6 to 9 inches in length. Their babies are dime-sized, though, and those are the creatures hopping around in droves.
I just see a massive amount of toads or frogs everywhere, covering every square inch, said Jennifer Quasha, who lives in an affected area of Palm Beach Gardens, to WPTV. You cant even walk through the grass without stepping on one.

It is unfortunate we can no longer be protected by Charlton Heston. But I’ll bet Obama offered his services since he is of the idea he can do the work just like Moses.

Nah. Gorebull warming! Climate chants! Twelve year countdown! Aliens!
There is a herpetologist here at the Denver Zoo that says their ‘dart frogs’ at the zoo are not poisonous.
She said they get their poison comes from a certain plant (or combination of plants) they eat, and they do not have that (or those) plants at the zoo.
The dart frogs themselves are immune from the poison, however they secrete it through their skin once the frogs have digested it.
The natives use the secretion as poison for their darts.
I found that bit of trivia interesting, as I thought it was the frog itself that was poisonous.
Snakes, toads, bugs, Florida has them all...........
“Cane toads, as they are known,”
I’m surprised no one has started up a “shotgun charter” for the rivers that are infested with those damn things........
When I was a kid, we had a deluge of tiny frogs. It seemed like they fell from the sky, but I was too young to remember clearly. Maybe a tornado had sucked them up. But there were tiny little frogs everywhere!
One reviewer said the supporting cast was so bad, it was fun to watch them get killed off.
Sam Elliott’s “beefcake” scenes in which he removes his shirt reportedly helped him earn the title role in the 1976 movie “Lifeguard.” Married for years to the gorgeous Catherine Ross (Stepford Wives).
