  1. Implementing simple, low-cost modifications to agricultural water points—such as raising #cattle troughs—prevents invasive cane #toads from accessing vital water during dry seasons, effectively halting their survival and spread in semi-arid regions.

  2. 🐸✨ Every spring, hundreds of thousands of #toads begin a perilous journey back to their ancestral breeding ponds.

    Since 1985, their population has dropped by 41%, but there are simple ways we can help, including assisting them across busy roads and building log-pile "hibernacula" in the #garden.

  7. While commuting to the office today, I met two ladies who volunteered to collect toads (Bufo bufo) migrating from the area to one of the local lakes. All of that is very German... not the toads, but the fence, and the volunteers.

  8. The Surinam toad has one of the strangest birth methods in the animal kingdom. Babies erupt from a cluster of tiny holes in their mother’s back.

  10. East Sussex, England, a home-made sign ‘Toads at Night’. No panoramic views just a narrow country road flanked by flood plain. The sign was positioned just before the road entered a wood. A place of magical & mysterious energies where what seemed to be the sound of vibrating colour connected in a strange simultaneous anchoring and dislocation. The texture of the statement ‘Toads at Night’ seemed to hold the essence of all I felt about this place.

  11. New Curtin University research has found #invasive cane #toads are on track to reach Western Australia’s #Pilbara region within the next 10 to 20 years, threatening to cause widespread losses among #native species and significant cultural and economic harm.

  12. Minashi-by-the-Sea (The Toad-Things of Leng)

    #Wss366 #MastoPrompt 9/4 #MicroPrompt 8/27-29

    Kurotsuki Kaibyō #yawned over her cup of strong Celedawn tea. The rich scent of #cardamom and cloves tickled her nose. She would need its invigorating properties, for she had a long night ahead of her and an even longer day.

    Soon the moon would set, and it would be time to be about her business. Tomorrow would be the Festival of Lime Blossoms on the Water, and all the people of Minashi-by-the-Sea would be celebrating.

    Except for the guards of the High Citadel of Perpetual Petals. The #Toads of Leng cared not for blossoms, scents, or even festivals. Their only loves were the repellent offal they were fed and dancing to the thin, insidious piping that emerged from the lofty tower on moonless nights.

    Tonight, on cat feet, she would locate where the #Toad-things of Leng performed their hideous, obscene midnight capers. She would not be one of their flayed, #skinned victims that appeared floating in the harbor as dawn broke upon its lime blossom flotilla. And then tomorrow, when the #Toads were at their sleepiest and the citizens of Minashi-by-the-Sea frolicked amid the lime blossoms, she would #zip into the tower and be gone before anyone knew of her pilfering.

  17. Esattamente 4 anni fa sognai che il rospo del giardino poteva generare scosse elettriche.
    La mattina seguente mi telefonò il tecnico di EnelX chiedendomi se poteva passare per l'installazione dei pannelli fotovoltaici di cui avevo fatto richiesta a fine estate.
    Inoltre proprio questo sabato hanno installato, sempre qui a casa, la batteria di accumulo.
    Un caso?
    Io non credo.
