Actually, scientific name changes happen all the time as scientists learn more about the toads! Most recently a lot of changes have been occurring because of genetic testing, but sometimes it feels like scientists just like to argue about things!

You know what you did!

Probably not, but the main reason Cane Toads are disliked is because people have let them loose in places they don't belong! It's not their fault being the biggest and the strongest! They don't even exercise!

They do! Most toads have parotoid glands that produce toxins, though Cane Toads are somewhat infamous because of their size and the fact that they are invasive species all over the world!

Probably! Most toads like eating tasty invertebrates, some will eat nearly anything that fits in their mouth!

Don’t be hurt, they are a beautiful toad and they get their name from their long, melodic call!

Probably because they are mostly deaf and can't jump very well!

No, but they are related!
