Best Answer

Cane frog or cane toad also known as the Giant Neotropical Toad or Marine Toad, is a large, terrestrial true toad native to Central and South America.

Cane toads are a serious conservation issue in Australia. As their populations increase, they threaten the existence of many natural animals.

Cane toads are tough and adaptable, as well as being poisonous throughout their life cycle, and have few predators in Australia.

What are there natural predators of cane toad tadpoles in Australia?

Researchers in the top end say they may have discovered the first natural predator to the cane toad. According to experiments conducted in captivity, a local frog species, Litoria dahlii, eats infant cane toads as well as the tadpoles without any apparent side effects from the cane toads' poison. Whether the same occurs in the wild is still to be seen, but researchers believe the frog could play a large part in slowing the spread of the cane toad into the Northern Territory of Australia, and into fragile eco systems like Kakadu's National Park.

This question isn't really answerable since a tadpole doesn't define species it's just a point in a frog/toads life. If you are asking how to identify a cane toad tadpole, they are brown and about the size of your thumb near the end of the tadpole stage.
