Abstract: | Although the invasive Cane Toad's diet in Australia consists primarily of insects, vertebrates are occasionally ingested (Lever 2001. The Cane Toad. Westbury, Otley). Herein we report on predation by the Cane Toad on a nestling bird. As part of a larger study, LP collected a large female Rhinella marina (SUL 95 cm) on 1 Dec 2008, from the grounds of Walkabout Palms Caravan Park, Townsville, Queensland (19.3166°S, 146.8°E; WGS 84). Examination of the stomach contents from this specimen revealed one large beetle, and one nestling bird (Fig.1). | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Herpetological Review, 42(4), p. 592-592 | Publisher: | Society for the Study of Amphibians and Reptiles | Place of Publication: | United States of America | ISSN: | 0018-084X | Fields of Research (FoR) 2008: | 060899 Zoology not elsewhere classified 060299 Ecology not elsewhere classified |
