Cane Toads - An Unnatural History

A fat, ugly creature whose sole purpose in life is the pursuit of sexual gratification is rapidly taking over Australia! The Cane Toads were imported by the sackload from Hawaii to Australia in 1935 in an attempt to rid the country of the Greyback beetle, which was rapidly destroying their sugarcane crop. The Cane Toads adapted beautifully to their new surroundings. Problem was, the beetle could fly and the Cane Toad couldn't. What the Cane Toad is unusually good at, however, is making more Cane Toads--thousands upon thousands more. If Monty Python produced a National Geographic Special, it would be Cane Toads! more

3/5: From: Amazon; Posted: Mar-18-2007; Cane Toads - campy but informative; Somebody else said it was Monty Python meets Marlin Perkins. Throw in a little of "The Far Side", and you've got it.
