    Abstract
    The cane toad invasion of Australia has been followed by varied responses from the general public. For obvious biological reasons cane toads have been negatively portrayed in information provided by government agencies (federal, state and local) and the media. These have focused on why the cane toad is bad (i.e. it is toxic to humans and pets) rather than the biological consequences of reducing the number of snakes and other reptile and mammalian predators that have been severely impacted by cane toads -primarily outside urban areas.The cane toad invasion of Australia has been followed by varied responses from the general public.
