A toad is any of a number of species of amphibians in the order Anura (frogs) that are characterized by dry, leathery skin, short legs, and parotoid glands.
A distinction between frogs and toads is not made in scientific taxonomy, but is common in popular culture (folk taxonomy), in which toads are associated with drier skin and more terrestrial habitats than animals commonly called frogs. In scientific taxonomy, toads are found in the families Bufonidae, Bombinatoridae, Discoglossidae, Pelobatidae, Rhinophrynidae, Scaphiopodidae, and Microhylidae. There is no definitive collective noun for toads, and like most collective nouns, the listed proposals are fanciful; one example is a knot of toads; others include a lump, nest, or knob of toads.
The function of the bumps on the skins of toads has been speculated to be to help the animal to blend more effectively into its environment by breaking up its visual outline. Usually the largest of the bumps are those that cover the parotoid glands. The bumps commonly are referred to as "warts", but this is fanciful; they have nothing to do with warts, being fixed in size, present on healthy specimens and are not a result of infection or injury.
Arundo donax, Giant Cane, is a tall perennial cane growing in damp soils, either fresh or moderately saline. Other common names include Carrizo, Arundo, Spanish cane, Colorado River Reed, Wild cane, and Giant reed.
Arundo donax is native to the Mediterranean Basin and middle east Asia, and probably also parts of Africa and southern Arabian Peninsula. It has been widely planted and naturalised in the mild temperate, subtropical and tropical regions of both hemispheres (Herrera & Dudley 2003), especially in the Mediterranean, California, the western Pacific and the Caribbean. It forms dense stands on disturbed sites, sand dunes, in wetlands and riparian habitats.
Arundo donax generally grows to 6 metres (20 ft), in ideal conditions it can exceed 10 metres (33 ft), with hollow stems 2 to 3 centimetres (0.79 to 1.18 in) diameter. The leaves are alternate, 30 to 60 centimetres (12 to 24 in) long and 2 to 6 centimetres (0.79 to 2.36 in) wide with a tapered tip, grey-green, and have a hairy tuft at the base. Overall, it resembles an outsize common reed (Phragmites australis) or a bamboo (subfamily Bambusoideae).

Plot: While he's deep undercover in New York, DEA agent Shane Tanner, the son of a legendary cooler named Dalton, learns that his uncle Nate Tanner got beat up by a group of men because he doesn't want to sell the Black Pelican, his bar in Tyree, Louisiana. Shane takes off for Louisiana to find out who attacked Nate. Shane decides to stay in Nate's house for the time being, and run the Black Pelican in Nate's absence, much to the dismay of former Black Pelican cooler Bill "Wild Bill" Decarie. Wild Bill wants to buy the Black Pelican since it's located in a prime location for running drugs. The Black Pelican is close to the border, it's between Florida and Texas, and it's in an area where drugs can be smuggled pretty much undetected. But Shane doesn't want to sell, and damages the numerous thugs that Bill sends his way. Also, Dalton was murdered years ago, and Shane still wonders who killed Dalton. When Shane was a rookie state trooper in Tyree, Shane had come home from work one night, and found Dalton fatally shot. After that, Shane left town and became a DEA agent. Now, Wild Bill's boss, Miami crime syndicate kingpin Victor Crost, decides that it's time to handle matters personally, because Wild Bill's men are not doing a good job of it. Shane is soon faced with impossible odds and a low number of staff members at the Black Pelican. To rid Louisiana of Victor, Wild Bill, and their organization, Shane teams up with local school teacher Beau Hampton, who is a regular at the Black Pelican.

Most people already know that Toads are poisonous but do you know where they actually store their potent toxins? It is not simply in their skin like a poison frog but is actually contained near the base of their heads in what is called the parotoid glands. What is even more fascinating, is that it is said that these glands are actually capable of spraying this toxin when they are squeezed or bitten by a predator. To demonstrate this effect Coyote Peterson will gently manipulate the glands of an invasive Cane Toad to not only show you what the poison looks like but also to see if it really does spray! Get ready…because the poi...

Awaited mumblings leak
Through paralyzed lips as I speak
In the blink of a toad's eye
I close my eyes so I can't see your silhoutte
Behind my screen door
Bony fingers beckoning
They're telling me something you said one time before:
"Go away I want to stay where I can breathe.
My feet are free... to wander anywhere I please,
Where I please..."
Out here in the dark
All I see is the little spark from your cigarette
Stop talking to me, with your screen door silhouette...
Save your lies - Keep them
Save your ice - It's freezing
Once or twice - I believed them
Pull me out - I'm sinking
Awaited mumblings leak
Through paralysed lips as I speak
In the blink of a toad's eye
Why do you keep showing up in all my dreams?
When I close my eyes and drift off into space...
The darkness belongs to me
When I close my eyes and drift off into space
The darkness belongs belongs... it belongs to me
Turn around. I want to see you melt away
Stop talking to me - I can't hear a word you say
anyway...
Out here in the dark
All I see is the little spark from your cigarette
Stop talking to me, with your screen door silhouette...
Save your lies - Keep them
Save your ice - It's freezing
Once or twice - I believed them
