And God said, "Let the land produce living creatures according to their kinds: livestock, creatures that move along the ground, and wild animals, each according to its kind."
And it was so. God made the wild animals according to their kinds, the livestock according to their kinds, and all the creatures that move along the ground according to their kinds.
(Genesis 1:20-25)
Giant Cane Toad
A conservation group captured a giant cane toad in the Australian city of Darwin.
The beast weighed 840 grams (1.8 pounds) and measured 20.5 cm (8 inches).
The toad was captured as part of a publicity-seeking round up of the amphibian which is considered a problematic invasive species in Australia.
The poisonous toad has wreaked ecological havoc on native species and killed pets and livestock.
The Good News:
Cane Toads have been used as an implement to inform people of environmental problems.
And, we all need to be aware and understand this important issue.
OH~~~My goodness,I am going to have to share this frog with my grandsons. When ever I see a funny or weird bug I always think that the Lord had a plan.

ReplyDeleteHello Ginger, Like you, I believe there is a reason for everything.
ReplyDeleteOne of the many dangers when we play God and endeavour to use His creation to suit our needs!!
ReplyDeleteEven then, though, God can turn around each situation has a 'learning' exercise :)
Wow! Thanks for sharing this with us. Very interesting! What struck me is that it is
ReplyDeleteanother example of how man manipulates the environment for his purpose and it back fires. This toad is one of God's amazing creatures- He designed it and has an intricate purpose and plan for it. We need to keep our environment balanced the way God intended it to be. Happy Spiritual Sunday!

ReplyDeletecrystal, i can't imagine finding one of these buggers in my garden!! it's such a shame that they didn't accomplish the job of eradicating the beetles...and then, on top of that devoured food that they should have left alone!! did the cane farmers find relief in any other form?
