Science:Nature
Join Ellen & science journalist Bethany Brookshire for a review of the lumpy little tide pods disrupting ecosystems all over the globe: cane toads. We discuss toxic shoulder pads, retro nature documentary excellence, poison butts and teacher toads, ugly animals, and the complicated relationships humans have with the wildlife around us.
Further viewing:
- Cane Toads: An Unnatural History (1988)
- Cane toad mating call (up close in 4K)
