User ID: 3213975 Australia 01/16/2012 12:24 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | It seems spiders are immune to bufotoxin. Quoting: Zod 7223475 Tarantulas halt cane toad spread [link to www.heraldsun.com.au] Queensland Museum spider expert Dr Robert Raven said he had witnessed a tarantula devouring a toad in the wild near Cooktown several years ago. "The toad had jumped near the entrance to the spider's burrow at night, and the spider just launched out and grabbed it and took it down into the burrow, like a scene out of a movie," he said. Fuckn hell..... Ball your hand into a fist. Not a girly fist but a man fist. That is the average size of a cane toad. Blackadder: Baldrick, how did you manage to find a turnip that cost £400 000? Baldrick: Well, I had to haggle. |

There is so much smog here I can watch the sun set without any ill effects on my eyes.

Quoting: Zero Point It's even been raining. Last night I couldn't find one bloody toad. Weird? I had 3 cane toads in my yard last year for the 1st time since I've lived in this house (10 yrs) & they freaked me out they are sooo ugly! I used to have at least 16 (last count) big green tree frogs & have only seen one since the first sighting of the toads. I'm pretty sure they eat them & I'm happy not to have seen any this year - so far. |
