Rangers conducting track work in Conway National Park, near Airlie Beach, were shocked to find a monster cane toad beside the Conway Circuit last week. The animal weighed 2.7kg. She has been euthanised due to the environmental damage they cause.https://t.co/2A9aKpalowpic.twitter.com/cSiYwBgr62
Wild story (from 2011) about a spike in frog deformities, by a parasite that deforms frogs' legs so that birds can eat them. The parasite reproduces inside the birds & goes into their feces, where it's picked up by snails, from which it infects tadpoles. https://t.co/J2iZlF3Bsg
Have you ever wondered what link there can occasionally be between a bird, a water snail and a frog? Possibly not, but if you have, it's a little parasite called Ribeiroia. pic.twitter.com/ILSfTIZYOJ
