Australia s cane toads evolved as cannibals with frightening speed

The list of deadly animals in Australia just got a little weirder. The cane toad, a toxic, invasive species notorious for devouring anything it can fit in its mouth household rubbish, small rodents and even birds has become highly cannibalistic in the 86 years since it was introduced to the continent, according to a new study. Its counterpart in South America, where cane toads originated, is far less cannibalistic.
