The cane toad is estimated to have a critical thermal maximum of 40–42 °C (104–108 °F) and a minimum of around 10–15 °C (50–59 °F). [43] The ranges can change due to adaptation to the local environment. [44] Cane toads from some populations can adjust their thermal tolerance within a few hours of encountering low temperatures.

The University of Florida recommends euthanizing cane toads by rubbing or spraying 20 percent benzocaine toothache gel or sunburn spray (not 5 percent lidocaine) on the toad. In a few minutes, it ...
One epileptic episode caused by Bufotoxins was observed in a 5-year old child, minutes after they had placed a Bufo alvarius in their mouth. The child was successfully treated with diazepam and phenobarbital. [11] In extreme cases following ingestion of mucus or skin of the toad, death generally occurs within 6 and 24 hours.

There are no amphibians native to Michigan that are included in the federal Endangered Species Act. [4] Of the over 3400 species of frog and toad worldwide, the majority live in the tropics. However, Michigan's species live where it is often cold, necessitating adaptions to freezing weather due to their ectothermic (cold-blooded
The lack of saccadic eye movements forces the toad to hold its eyes in rigid positions. Therefore, it must decide whether the object is "prey" or "non-prey" before moving itself. If it orients towards an object, it must already have decided "prey" and then commits itself to snapping by reducing the thresholds for subsequent prey-catching responses.
