Second cane toad found in New Caledonia
Updated
Environmental services in New Caledonia are dealing with the discovery of a second cane toad, just weeks after the first was discovered in a container shipped from Australia. The cane toad is one of the world's most invasive species and has the potential to destroy ecosystems by killing off native species that come into contact with its toxic skin. While the first was captured before making it to land, the second discovery was made in an industrial area in the South Province, prompting fears other toads may have already made it inland.
