they have far fewer predators in australia but, as time passes, some of the local animals will adapt their behaviour. already some australian crows have learned strategies allowing them to feed on cane toads, such as using their beak to flip toads onto their back. opossums of the "didelphis" genus likely can eat cane toads with impunity. meat ants are unaffected by the cane toads' toxins, and therefore are able to kill them. the cane toad's normal response to attack is to stand still and let its toxin kill the attacker, which allows the ants to attack and eat the toad.
