Cane Toad Wherever the Cane Toad is introduced, whether to Florida or Australia or somewhere else, it becomes a nuisance within a short time. It breeds year-round and its populations can get enormous very quickly. Speaking of enormous, this is the largest toad and can weigh up to 4 pounds. One of the biggest ever found in the United States was nicknamed Jabba the Toad, after the Star Wars� character. Cane Toads are active mostly at night.
Northern Pike
Pikes and pickerels are a small family (Esocidae) of five species of predatory fishes with slender, elongate bodies and long, sharp teeth. The dorsal and anal fins are far back, the tail is moderately forked, and the mouth is large with the jaws extending forward like the bill of a duck. Esocids live in weedy areas of lakes and streams. Sometimes they can be seen hovering almost motionless near clumps of water plants. The Northern Pike occurs in both North America and Europe. Its large size, enormous appetite, and toothy jaws make it the "shark" of freshwater lakes and streams.
Belted Kingfisher
While searching for fish, the Belted Kingfisher perches on a limb over a river or lake. On sighting a fish it flies from its post and hovers over the water before plunging after its prey. It also eats crabs, crayfish, salamanders, lizards, mice, and insects. A kingfisher may patrol a regular beat along a stream or lakeshore, stopping at favorite exposed perches along the way. When flying from one perch to another it utters its loud rattling call.
