What Do Toads Eat?
We have talked about what toads eat, how they breed, and where they live. But there is more to know about them. What preys on toads? Yes, like other animals in the ecosystem, toads too have predators. Some animals and birds love to feed on toads. Have you seen those carnivorous water rats, scouring for prey at night? Well, they can rip off the heart of a cane toad in a matter of a few seconds. The liver is also not spared. The rats do this to avoid the poison glands at the back of the head. Cane toads produce bufotoxins and bufogenins.
