Pregnancy testing seems to be one of the only positive aspects of cane toads. They were introduced into Australia in the 1930s to eat sugarcane beetles. It took the toads no time at all to loose interest in the beetles and start eating everything else they could find. The toads are now a big menace, literally and figuratively. They can weigh over four pounds, and pretty much nothing can eat them because they are poisonous (probably why they felt at home in Australia).
