What makes these amphibians truly nightmarish

Post by JouyntoSEOUK »

A few decades later - already 20 km per year. By the time they reached Middle Point, they had "accelerated" to 30 miles a year. When the researchers measured the toads, they realized what was going on. These northern toads had significantly longer legs than those of Queensland. And this trait was inherited. The Northern Territory News ran the story on the front page under the headline "Supertoad". The article featured an image of Superman with the head of a toad. “Nightmare toads are already on our territory, and now they are evolving,” the newspaper wrote in a panic.

Agha toads are not only frighteningly large; from a human point of view, they are also ugly: they have bony heads and an evil grin on their muzzle. But is that they are poisonous. If an adult aga toad is bitten or startled, it releases a milky-white mucus containing substances that stop the heart.

It includes: Australian narrow-nosed crocodiles, argus monitor lizards, which grow up to one and a half meters in length; smooth lizards (blue-tongued skinks); water lizards that look like small dinosaurs; viper-like death snake, which, as the name suggests, is venomous; as well as the mulga, one of the most venomous snakes on the planet. But most of all, of course, suffered a cute animal called the northern marsupial marten.
