51 | Cane Toads and the Decline of Snakes and Lizards in Australia with Dr. Doody

Dr. Jenkins has a conversation with Dr. Doody about reptiles in
Australia.  They start by discussing reptile communities in
general across the continent, including some interesting
discussions on the nesting ecology of Pig-nosed Turtles. 
They discuss Cane Toads, their natural history and how they found
their way to approximately fifty countries around the
world.  They talk about how Cane Toads have spread and the
research Dr. Doody has been conducting, documenting the impact on
native reptiles.  Stay tuned until the end when Dr. Doody
tells us about a near death experience with one of the world’s
most deadly snakes - you do not want to miss this one.


Connect with Dr. Doody at the University of South Florida.
