CANE TOAD
(Rhinella marina)

The cane toad was first introduced

deliberately into the Philippines in 1930
as a biological control agent of pests in
sugarcane plantations, after the
success of the experimental
introductions into Puerto Rico. It
subsequently became the most
ubiquitous amphibian in the islands. It
still retains the common name
of bakî or kamprag in the Visayan
languages, a corruption of 'American
frog', referring to its origins.
