Deb Hoppe sent in this extraordinary pic of a Cane Toad from Down-under (Australia). Wow, it is huge. I don't know about you but I keep looking at it and imagining it as a bull frog and thinking about only needing two legs for each person's appetizer.
Just in case you did not know, Cane Toads are not native to Australia and are an extremely invasive species, thanks to being introduced into Australia by man, that has caused havoc among the wildlife population in that country. While some people in Australia keep them as pets, the official line is they are pests, they are often killed on sight.

Once again, my thanks to Deb H.
All the best,
Glenn B
