South and mainland Central America
The popular name is cane toad. It is an old species. A fossil from some 13.8 to 12 million years ago is indistinguishable from modern cane toads from northern South America. It eats voraciously, including the sugar cane beetle after which it is named, eating both live meat and carrion. It and its tadpoles are highly poisonous.
