Marine Toad: rhinella Marina(formerly Bufo marinus)
Description: The Marine Toad (a.k.a. Giant Toad or Cane Toad) is the largest of the frogs and toads found in Florida. The Marine Toad is not native to the United States. It was originally released in the U.S. in sugar cane fields to help control “white grubs,” larvae of pest Scarabaeidae. Rhinella marina(formerly Bufo marinus)became established in southern Florida as result of accidental release of about 100 specimens from the stock of a pet dealer at Miami airport in 1955, and by subsequent releases by pet dealers in the 1960s (Krakauer, 1968). Marine Toads are a highly predacious exotic species that will eat all types of native frogs and toads. This species is skilled at locating all types of food, they have even been known to eat pet food. Reproduction: The Marine Toad breeds year-round in standing water, streams, canals and ditches. CAUTION: When this non-native species is threatened or handled, it secretes a highly toxic milky substance from its large parotoid glands at the back of its head, behind the ears. This secretion can burn your eyes, may irritate your skin, and can kill cats and dogs if they ingest the secretion. Symptoms of Marine Toad poisoning in pets in-clude drooling, head-shaking, crying, loss of coordi-nation, and, in more serious cases, convulsions. The dog's (or cat's) gums often turn red, an indicator used by veterinarians to distinguish toad poisoning from epilepsy. For this reason, pet owners should be familiar with their pet's normal gum color. Treatment: If you suspect toad poisoning, get a hose and run water in the side of the dog's/cat's mouth, pointing the animal's head downward so water isn't swallowed. Rub the gums and mouth to remove the toxin. This treatment is usually successful, but call your veterinarian imme-diately. Call: Its call is a low-pitched trill and a chorus that sounds like an idling diesel engine.

As residents of Florida, we should all be aware that we live in the light-ning capitol of the world. Bolts of lighting blast the ground some 25-30 mil-lion times per year. In a atypical year, each square mile of central FL is struck some ten times. What is lightning? Light-ning is the visible part of an electrical discharge.
The rapid expansion of the air after this electrical discharge is the resulting sound known as thunder. Thus, thunder results from lightning. So, if you see lightning, there is always thunder. However, thunder typically in not heard from 15-20 miles from the lightning strike. The core of lightning is 54,000 degrees F. Imagine being knocked out by a bolt which is roughly six times hotter than the surface of the sun! Studies say that many lightning victims’ cause of death is listed as burns or cardiac prob-lems. How far away is the lightning? A good rule to remember is that for every 5 seconds from seeing the lightning until hearing the thunder typically means the lightning is roughly 1 mile from your position. How far can lighting strike? Bolts can jump 10 or more miles out from their parents cloud and appear to strike in a region with blue skies overhead. Thunder sounding from lightning that struck even one minute before hand is still close enough to strike you. 500-1,000 people are injured by lightning each year. The deadliest month for lightning fatalities and injuries in the U.S. is July. Your chances of surviving a lightning strike are greater is someone near you knows CPR. So remember: lifeguards will close the pool at the first sight of lightning, or in the event of a severe thunderstorm.
how much do you know about lightning?
