January 27, 2011 - 27/365

this creature is dead on the road in front of our house.  Lee said it's a cane toad.  I never, ever want to come across one alive.  It looks like it has claws!   It's body is about 8 inches long.... that's one big toad!
according to Wikipedia they were introduced to the Caribbean to eat pests that destroy the sugar cane, but it didn't go so well b/c cane toads are always hungry and eat everything dead & alive.  & I don't think they have any predators here....
