The reason they eat plants unlike other frogs and toads is because they hunt with smell. They are opportunistic feeders. That is one of the reasons i like this species so much. Also another interesting fact about these toads is that the males can lay eggs. If there are no females present and there are large amounts of males in an area. Some males will take on the roll of a female, breed with other males and reproduce. All of these facts kind of explain why Cane toads have been around for so long.
