Bizzare story of the day - https://www.npr.org/2024/08/16/g-s1-17159/cane-toads-freshwater-crocodiles-australia-invasive-intervention

tl;dr - Freshwater crocodiles in northern Australia are dying due to eating toxic cane toads, an invasive species introduced decades ago. To combat this, researchers have successfully reduced crocodile deaths by 95% using a method that induces food poisoning when the reptiles consume dead toads, teaching them to avoid the toxic prey. This approach offers a promising, ethical solution for managing the coexistence of crocodiles and cane toads.
