Especies animales invasoras: el sapo gigante

Australia, isolated from other land masses, has faced challenges from invasive species since British colonization. The South American giant toad, introduced in 1935 to control beetles in sugarcane plantations, became a major invasive species. Unable to climb reeds, the toads spread uncontrollably, affecting over 1,000,000 square kilometers. Their adaptability and high reproduction rates have displaced native species and disrupted ecosystems. The invasion highlights the fragility of ecosystems and the impact of altering small elements.
