Cane toads have an impressive array of highly toxic chemical defences available to them at almost all stages of their lives. The toxins occur in their skin and organs and can be secreted by large glands at the back of the animal’s head when it is threatened. As a result, toads will poison many predators that attempt to eat themlike the native birds and other wild life that is native to Kakadu.

  9. How can we fix the problem? • We can remove the cane toads from national parks and build a fence to keep the rest out and put them the wild so there in a safe places from cars and any other hard. • Build a environment area where we can keep them away from the native animals.
