In Australia the Cane Toad adapted and evolved with abandon, voraciously consuming native wildlife and killing predators with its lethal skin toxin. Today, hundreds of millions of Cane Toads have spread across the northern part of Australia and continue to move westward. The humble Cane Toad has become a national villain.</p><p><em>Cane Toad Wars</em> chronicles the work of intrepid scientist Rick Shine, who has been documenting the toads ecological impact in Australia and seeking to buffer it.
