Know then that grubs were destroying Australia's versatile sugar cane crops, so they sought an efficient way to stop them, and subsequently introduced a non-native toad to their robust environment, with the unabashed dogged hopes that it would bravely devour them.
Unfortunately it didn't, and they reproduced abundantly in incredible numbers, and soon starting spreading across the continent as their natural instinct accelerated forward.
If considering whether or not they became a tasty treat for endemic wildlife, believe that their natural fluidic poisons were a problem for local beasties and pets alike.
Many communities were rather annoyed by the massive unrelenting expansion, and inaugurated ways to curtail their progress across the massive fecund land.
Others industriously capitalized on public fascination with the phenomenon, and created products and fertilizer and roadside attractions flouting the new lifeform's integrity.
I know I would have a good time just sitting back and watching them hop by.
Australia sounds so amazing for wildlife.
The Crocodile Hunter was such a cool show.
As is Cane Toads: The Conquest, it's unlike any nature documentary I've seen, a unique twist on a fascinating genre inherently abounding with camp and craft.
It's a truly democratic account that interviews peeps from multivariable walks, without judgment or pervasive hierarchies pretentiously upsetting the creative balance.
The variety is impressive as he zigzags his way through his inclusive exploration.
If no video footage exists of the cane toad related story, director Mark Lewis engages in dramatic recreations in order to reanimate the yarn.
Perhaps not serious enough for some sterile objective puritans, or people who really don't like the toad, it's difficult to say.
But I imagine kids and families and audiences around the world would love Cane Toads: The Conquest!
The multiple close-ups and inspired invention.
Producing bona fide unfiltered wherewithal.
