Welcome to Under the Canopy at the Connecticut Science Center, presented by ProHealth Physicians, a part of OptumCare with support from Liberty Bank. The exhibition features over a dozen live animals that call the rainforest home, and today we are meeting Ed & Eddie, the cane toads. Cane toads are typically found in Texas to northern South America, and introduced in Florida, Australia, New Guinea, and even Hawaii. This rainforest toad from South America is the largest and most poisonous species of toad in the world. It is truly one of nature’s miracles. They are considered a species of least concern. By making choices to protect the rainforest ecosystem, we also save the cane toad’s future and all the other species they share their home with.
Learn more about Ed & Eddie and the steps you can take to protect our rainforests in our full meet the animals interview below.
