Cool.

That is now crows, magpies and bin chickens that have been observed safely eating cane toads.

Crows and maggies use a different method. They flip the toad over and eat them belly first. They don't eat the skin, just the internal organs.

Animals are way smarter than we ever have them credit for, even when we did give them credit.
