Giant Frogs Invade the U.S.
No joke, it's true! Discovery Channel reports:
Giant Frogs Raid Toilets, Power Lines
They're giant Cuban tree frogs, they're toxic, they have big appetites, and they're an invasive exotic species. Despite their name, there's no evidence that their presence here is due to a Castro plot. They came here from the Caribbean pet trade, and then made a break for it or were turned loose by irresponsible pet owners.
Here are some great pix and a detailed article, courtesy of the University of Florida Wildlife Extension. They come in many different colors; too bad they're so darned cute!
