The glorious Cane Toad, Giant Toad and Marine Toad (Rhinella marina or previously Bufo marinus). This infamous species has been busy extending its world-wide distribution (with our help) to a point verging on #WorldDominance. For almost 100 years, humans have been moving this species around the globe from it’s home range in northern South America. Now it’s an invasive species in Australia, Hawaii and South Florida (probably other places too). It’s devastating impact on natural ecosystems has been well documented and even featured in one of my favorite ‘documentaries’ Cane Toads (1985) (Do yourself a favor and see it if you haven’t yet.) Cane Toads are the perfect invaders. A single female can lay up to 40,000 eggs a year! How many amphibians can do that?? (How much easier our job would be if Flatwoods Salamanders could lay that many eggs!) Not only that, but Cane Toad eggs are toxic! No tasty snacks for animals that normally enjoy frog caviar. Cane Toads are toxic in every life stage. Any animals ‘higher’ in the food web than a Cane Toad are immediately killed by trying to eat the animal. Animals on the same trophic level are easily out competed by an animals that has 10s of thousands of offspring a year. To top if off, Cane Toads eat everything (well, anything they can fit in their mouths). Any ecosystem they invade is eventually ‘cut off at the knees’ That said — They really are also quite charming. The animal in this photograph is #Princess - one of our #ConservationAmbassadors at @amphibianfoundation . She helps us carry the #AmphibianConservation message. She came to us from #ReigningReptiles in Buford as a wonderful donation. #CaneToad #GiantToad #Rhinella #Bufo #Toad #Toads #FrogsOfInstagram #ToadsOfInstagram (at The Amphibian Foundation, Inc)

#dailydrawing today was finishing the giant toad design for my cute goth carousel series. Also, here are my sleepy studio cats. 💕 #gianttoad #cutecarousel #gothcarousel #cutegoth #witch #witchart #witchcore #studiocats #catsofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CgLshlBuG6U/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’ve got some nonsense for you for today’s #dailydrawing. So the other night as I was trying to sleep, I thought I should make. Wwarernortlensrixker because I’ve got some waterproof vinyl sticker paper waiting to be used. And in my ridiculousness, I thought this would be perfect. Let me explain. Thinking of drinking water reminds me of this monologue that David had back in a high school play we were both in. He played a Giant Toad who was drinking all the water of the world. We both still have this monologue memorized for some reason. So, Giant Toad. And then I thought yeah, that could work. And I’ll emphasize the “CRUSH IT,” because that’s like an encouraging workout phrase, ya? And ya gotta hydrate while you workout. Oh, and I could put some pretty water lilies. That sounds like a nice thing for a water bottle, and also goes with the toad. Sooooo yeah, that is how I came up with this ridiculous design, which requires you to know a quote from an obscure play to understand it. But I find it hilarious. So I made it. And I hope you may enjoy it too. If you do enjoy it, you can buy a sticker! And my Patrons will get one in their Goodie Pack this month. :) Take care, and remember to stay hydrated and CRUSH IT! 🤣 #waterbottle #stickers #stickerart #gianttoad #toad #lilypad #crushit #crushitforclimate #mightyhawk #magicfish #sillystickers #inspirationalstickers https://www.instagram.com/p/CajWO4WOJga/?utm_medium=tumblr

I always feel so honored when the giant toad comes to visit. He sneaks silently through the night and was just getting ready to tuck in for the day. #gianttoad #toad #coronafriends (at Playa Hucares) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTzF-GIFNhx/?utm_medium=tumblr
