Predators

There are very few predators of the cane toad in Australia, hence their prolific growth in numbers and spread across the country.
There have been some instances of animals biting back, as it were...

Snake attempting to devour a toad














A freshwater crocodile giving it a go...

















A king brown snake not knowing what's good for it...














A quoll finishing off its toad meal...















But just when you think there is some hope, one of the best predators of the toad is the Keelback snake, and it seems this toad wants revenge...
