It came from the pond!

This evening at a location I hold dear the little people discovered something moving about the murky waters of a small retention pond.

One little lady was not shy about moving in on the creature.

To the crowds delight it was discovered to be a Cane Toad (Bufo Marinus).

Cane toads are exude sticky white poison from pores all over their wrinkly skin that looks like elmer's glue.

I have always liked Cane Toads cause they are puffy and seem to have a sly grin on their little faces!
