This was the surprising “invasion” of toads in Nuevo León

An invasion of toads and frogs surprised the inhabitants of Ciénega de Flores, in Nuevo León, so some people recorded these amphibians on the street.

Dozens of frogs of different ages were jumping from the canal to the road where cars pass.

The people who recorded this unusual incident said they were surprised, because while the invasion of toads was happening, it was also raining. Some teenagers did not even approach the amphibians out of fear.

The migration of frogs and toads from water channels to urban areas is usually related to the search for new sources of food, shelter or adequate reproductive conditions. These amphibians can be attracted by the humidity and abundance of insects in cities, especially during the rainy season.

In addition, factors such as the destruction of their natural habitat, water pollution or changes in the temperature and humidity of the environment can push them to move to urban environments in search of more favorable conditions for their survival.

It is important to mention that the presence of these amphibians is common during the rainy season.

Toad plague invades Palm Beach in 2019

Recent torrential rains and high temperatures caused the proliferation of bufo toads, also known as cane toads, in Palm Beach, Florida. These poisonous amphibians invaded the area, generating concern among residents, who feared for the safety of their pets. This plague threatened to spread throughout Florida.

Images broadcast by local media and published on social media showed the toads congregated in pools, roads, gardens and garages. This situation generated concern among the inhabitants of Palm Beach, a coastal suburb known for being the residence of former President Donald Trump, whose Mar-a-Lago property could also be affected.

Jenni Quasha, a local resident, expressed to WPBF channel her concern for the health of pets in the area. She said her family first noticed the toads on a Friday and later discovered hundreds of them in their pool. Quasha fears the population of these amphibians will quickly grow and become a bigger problem for the neighborhood.
