Has Australia finally found a workable solution to the cane toad?
The cane toad has been a serious ecological problem for Australia for a long time. They introduced the toads as a predator for a certain type of beetle that was destroying sugar cane. Turned out that the toad wasn't a very efficient killer of these beetles to begin with, but it was however killing a lot of the native species that were trying to eat the poisonous toad. Interesting solution they're offering up.

This is going to escalate to the point where they'll need to bring in Galactus to deal with the problem.

This reminds me of that Simpsons episode where they release lizards to kill the pigeons. Then snakes to kill the lizards. Then gorillas to kill the snakes. Then you wait for winter.
It's really a simple solution if you think about it.
