This material was prepared in collaboration with a non-fiction publisher. Originally, it lived in South and Central America, as well as the southernmost tip of Texas. In the middle of the century, they were brought to the Caribbean. The idea was that the toads would eat beetle larvae that were destroying sugarcane, the region's main cash crop. (By the way, sugar cane itself was also imported, just from New Guinea.) Toads came from the Caribbean to Hawaii, and from there to Australia.
In 1999, a toad was loaded on a steamship in Honolulu. All but one survived the journey moible number data and ended up at a research station growing sugar cane on Australia's northeast coast. During the year, they produced more than Thousands of eggs. into rivers and ponds in the area. It's unlikely that the toads would do anything for the cane. The beetle larvae are too high off the ground for the pebble-sized amphibians to reach them. But Toad didn't care. They easily find other food for themselves and go on to produce millions of tadpoles.
From a small patch of Queensland's coastline, they migrate north to the Cape York peninsula and south to New South Wales. In the 1990s, they came to the Northern Territory. In 1999, they reached a place called Darwin near the city of Darwin in the western part of the Northern Territory. Along the way, some strange things happened. In the early days of the invasion, the toads spread at a rate of about kilometers per year. After decades already kilometers per year.
