The Cane Toad or Marine Toad is a highly preditorial invasive exotic species, originally released accidentally into South Florida in 1955. It is the largest of the frogs and toads found in Florida, and their skin is toxic to most predators.

This not-so-little guy decided to camp out on my front doorstep tonight. That's a quarter next to his head. He is barely smaller than my hand, and my hands are pretty large.
