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

Siyatyhefa okanye sinetyhefu? Izilwanyana ezinetyhefu zitofa ityhefu ngokuluma okanye ngokuhlaba. Izilwanyana ezityhefayo ziyingozi xa uzichukumisa okanye uzitya. Esi siyatyhefa.

Indlela yokusiqaphela

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

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: 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

Amandla etyhefu

Ityhefu esikhumbeni saso

Isikhumba saso siyatyhefa. Kuyingozi ukusichukumisa, ukusikhotha okanye ukusitya.

Ityhefu yaso etyhefayo (xa usichukumisa okanye usitya) yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: Kubi kakhuluUkuba umntu uyasichukumisa okanye uyasitya, yiya kugqirha. Ukufa kunqabe kakhulu.

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

When threatened, it releases bufotoxin from its glands.1

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile okanye usityile

Ukuba umntu usichukumisile: hlamba izandla kakuhle kwaye ungachukumisi amehlo okanye umlomo. Ukuba umntwana okanye isilwanyana sasekhaya sisikhothile okanye sisityile: tsalela iziko lezityhefu okanye inombolo kaxakeka.

Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala

Hlala ukhuselekile

Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
Ukuba usichukumisile okanye usityile: musa ukukhuhla amehlo okanye umlomo wakho, hlamba izandla zakho kwaye ufumane uncedo lwezonyango.

Asikuzingeli. Ityhefu yaso ikhona nje ukuze kungabikho nto isityayo. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile

Iinyaniso

Young toads lose the toxicity they had as eggs and tadpoles, and they only develop their poison glands later. Only an estimated 0.5% of cane toads reach adulthood.1

In Australia, tadpoles have evolved to be more likely to eat their siblings than tadpoles in South America.1

A female can lay thousands of eggs in one spawn, in strings up to 20 metres long.1

In the wild, cane toads can live 10 to 15 years, and one captive toad was reported to have lived 35 years.1

The cane toad is considered the largest species in the Bufonidae, the toad family.1

Cane toads eat both living and dead matter, which is unusual among frogs and toads.1

Umqhekezi weentsomi

Intsomi: The name 'marine toad' suggests that cane toads live in the sea.

Inyaniso: Cane toads do not live in the sea. The name came from a mistaken belief by an early naturalist.1
