Cane toads, Bufo Marinus, natives of Hawaii - were imported by the sackload to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to rid the country of the Greyback beetle, which was rapidly destroying their sugarcane crop. The Cane toads adapted beautifully to their new surroundings. Problem was, the beetle could fly and the Cane Toad couldn't. What the Cane toad is unusually proficient at, however, is making more Cane toads - thousands upon thousands more.Many teachers rave about this classic video. It clearly demonstrates the problems that may arise when human solutions are applied to challenges of nature. Cane Toads is unbelievably funny and educational. Perfect for high school and college audiences.
