Still Waters Posted March 7, 2013 #1 Share Posted March 7, 2013 The tadpoles of Australia's native frogs can outcompete invasive toads, scientists say. The toads are considered a threat to Australian wildlife, leading researchers to investigate methods to control their population. A study into competition between wild amphibian young revealed that the presence of green tree frogs reduced cane toad survival. Experts now suggest reintroducing the familiar frogs to suburban areas. http://www.bbc.co.uk/nature/21629255 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Wearer of Hats Posted March 7, 2013 #2 Share Posted March 7, 2013 That's rule one of Australian Wildlife. "Don't **** with us". We've got crows here TEACHING each other how to eat cane toads safely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rashore Posted March 7, 2013 #3 Share Posted March 7, 2013 EEEPPPp tree frogs are so cute. Like really frigging cute. Ok, that said. Very cool that an indigenous species or few might be able to kick out the invasive species. I hope it works Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
