Creatures of Northern Territory

Green Butt Ants
Asian Gecko
The dreaded Cane Toad
Harmless as Noodle looks, she is a lethal killer.  She is known to crawl down a bunny hole and inhale baby bunnies two at a time without so much as a puncture to their lightly furred bodies. Her fondness for little, fast moving creatures as a tasty treat is dangerous when the Cane Toad is around. If she ingests one it is likely to be the death of her.   The Cane Toad has poisonous glands that will kill animals that eat them.  Furthermore they are slow enough to catch easily and big enough to entice the chase.  Mr. C caught this one with a net just outside our caravan.
