What went wonrg with the cane toad?

The cane toad was introduced to Australia in 1935 to control agricultural pests, but it became an invasive species that caused significant ecological harm. Lacking natural predators, the toad's population exploded, leading to declines in native wildlife as it outcompeted native species for resources and poisoned predators with its toxic glands. Its rapid spread disrupted ecosystems, highlighting the risks associated with introducing non-native species for pest control.
