Скачать или смотреть Australia's Deadliest #2 | The Cane Toad Invasion

📝Australia's most deadly ecoterrorist cut a very distinctive jib. In 1935, a cargo ship arrived in Australia carrying a seemingly harmless solution to a farming problem: 102 cane toads from Hawaii. What was meant to save the sugar industry became one of the most devastating biological weapons ever unleashed on a continent. This is the terrifying story of the Attack of the Killer Toads, an ecological disaster that spiraled out of control and created a biological war Australia is still fighting today.

This documentary explores how a simple solution became an ecological nightmare of biblical proportions. We'll reveal how these toads, initially celebrated as pest control, multiplied into an army of 200 million and began systematically poisoning Australia’s irreplaceable wildlife.

We'll uncover:

● The shocking truth about the toads' feeding habits: they were opportunistic omnivores that ignored the beetles they were brought to eliminate.

● The brutal mechanism of death by bufotoxin, a lethal cocktail of poisons that left Australia's native wildlife completely defenseless.

● The astounding discovery that the toads were rapidly evolving at the invasion front, transforming into a biological superweapon with longer legs and deadlier venom.

● The five crucial lessons learned from this devastating chapter, from the principle of unintended consequences to the reality that biological invasions are nearly impossible to reverse.

The cane toad invasion is a powerful reminder that when humans declare war on nature through biological interventions, nature consistently demonstrates a superior ability to adapt and evolve. It is a story of hubris, consequences, and the eternal vigilance required to protect fragile ecosystems from irreversible damage.
