  1. Tonight our teenage daughter asked if we could rewatch the old Cane Toad documentary, An Unnatural History. We’d played it for her when she was much younger and it had stuck with her. It’s still a cracker documentary, in equal measures informative and alarming and hilarious. One of the best. Also, it ends with a theme song written and sung by Tim Finn of Split Enz and Crowded House fame.

    Worth a watch if you’ve not seen it.

  6. Not new, but still brilliant. Nature adapts — and fast. Australia’s native water rats, also known as #rakali have figured out how to safely eat deadly #canetoads by surgically removing and feasting only on their hearts.

  8. We can’t eradicate deadly #canetoads – but there’s a way to stop them killing #wildlife.
    Australia can claim more than its fair share of environmental blunders, but the introduction of cane toads in 1935 surely ranks as one of the worst. #evasivespecies

    "When the first #CaneToads were brought from South America to #Queensland in 1935, many of the #parasites that troubled them were left behind. But deep inside the #lungs of at least one of those pioneer toads lurked small nematode #lungworms."
