Gutteral Invasion


Seen on the night excursion. in a ditch in the events parking area.

Bad news. We dont know what these will do with the Western Leopard Toads: compete with them? hybridize with them? share/spread diseases? Not a clue. Best to remove them ASAP.
And we dont know what they will do with the really rare Cacos and Micros in the area: will they eat them as well? This is the only place on the Cape Flats with Micros, so best to remove these invaders ASAP.
We know who introduced them to Cape Town. We know that they are now spreading in plants from a few nurseries. And probably also down stream.
But how this one got into Kenilworth is a mystery: it is not known from within 2km of here.

Perhaps some kid releasing a grown up tadpole in a nature reserve. Dumping alien animals in nature reserves seems to be a national past time. At best it creates an alien problem. At worst the poor animal starves to death. Rather donate them to the SPCA.
