The cane toad is a large toad that is very poisonous to many animals. It is native to South and mainland Central America, but people have moved it to islands in Oceania and the Caribbean and to northern Australia. It matters because it spreads quickly and harms native wildlife and pets.1

Cara mengenalinya

  • Very large, with adults usually 10 to 15 cm long1
  • Dry, warty skin with distinct ridges above the eyes that run down the snout1
  • A large parotoid gland (a swollen gland) behind each eye1
  • Grey, yellowish, red-brown or olive-brown skin, often with patterns1
  • Horizontal pupils and golden irises1

Sering dikelirukan dengan: In Australia, adults can be confused with large native frogs, but these lack the large parotoid glands and the ridge between the nostril and eye. The giant burrowing frog has vertical pupils and silver-grey irises, while the cane toad has horizontal pupils and golden irises. In the United States, the southern toad has two bulbs in front of the parotoid glands.1

Kuasa racun

Racun di kulitnya

Kulitnya beracun. Ia berbahaya untuk disentuh, dijilat atau dimakan.

Apa kesan racunnya?

The toad's glands secrete a milky-white fluid called bufotoxin when it is threatened. Components of bufotoxin are toxic to many animals. In dogs, signs of poisoning include excessive drooling, extremely red gums, head-shaking, crying and loss of coordination.1

Berapa bahaya ia kepada manusia?

Bahaya kepada manusia: SeriusJika seseorang menyentuh atau memakannya, jumpa doktor. Kematian sangat jarang berlaku.

The toxic skin can kill many wild and domestic animals. Dogs are especially at risk from licking or biting the toad. Human deaths have also been recorded after people ate cane toads.1

Apa yang ia buat apabila takut?

When threatened, it releases bufotoxin from its glands.1

Jika seseorang menyentuh atau memakannya

  • Jika seseorang menyentuhnya: basuh tangan dengan bersih dan jangan sentuh mata atau mulut. Jika kanak-kanak atau haiwan peliharaan menjilat atau memakannya: hubungi pusat racun atau nombor kecemasan.

Sentiasa hubungi nombor kecemasan dahulu (112, 000, 911). Ini panduan pertolongan cemas umum, bukan nasihat perubatan. Asas pertolongan cemas

Kekal selamat

  • Jangan sesekali sentuh, tangkap atau usik haiwan liar, walaupun yang kecil, dan walaupun ia nampak tidur atau mati.
  • Beri ia ruang. Jika kamu terjumpa, bertenang, undur perlahan-lahan dan biarkan ia pergi.
  • Jika kamu menyentuh atau memakannya: jangan gosok mata atau mulut, basuh tangan dan dapatkan bantuan perubatan.

Ia bukan mahu memburu kamu. Racunnya ada hanya supaya tiada apa yang memakannya. Lagi tentang keselamatan
