Army of huge cannibal frogs captures the US: Vlad calls to kill them in place (photo)

A new threat has hanged over the United States - this time, local states are threatened with wood frogs the size of the human palm that came from Cuba. At the end of November 2023, it became known that the "Super Super" Army had already captured Canada's territory - wild pigs, which are invasive species, relentlessly multiply and may soon move to the US.

At that time, scientists have warned that this could turn into a real environmental disaster, but now a new threat has hung over the US states-the invasion of wood frogs, Daily Mail writes. It is known that wood-cannibals are invasive species and strive into some areas of the United States from Cuba, Kayman and Bahamas.

Amphibians have already penetrated into Florida and have reached Tennessee, but researchers also admit that they cannot say exactly how deeply the country managed to go into the territory of the country. In focus. Technology has appeared its Telegram channel.

According to the biologist of wildlife from the department of wildlife resources of the Department of Natural Resources of Georgia Daniel Sollenberg, who specializes in herpetology, the main problem is that this army of frog cannibals hunts for frogs that live in North America. As a result, scientists fear that the invasion of this invasive species can turn into another "environmental disaster".

It is known that this invasive species is adapted in the northern states: channel frogs are mastered in transformer boxes to survive winter-electrical boxes give heat to survive frost. It is also known that these amphibians "secrete irritating mucus from their skin" while touching. And this substance affects both humans and small animals. Scientists also acknowledge that this influence is still too little studied, and therefore the consequences are still unknown to science.

Researchers have long been watching the Cuban Canibals: the only famous population of this species that is "breeding" in Georgia, is located on Jackil Island. At the same time, scientists have noticed that the cannibs have successfully mastered migration, using houseplants and other vegetation, which they sold for gardening and landscape design. In this way, they manage to travel and spread deeper in the northern states.

Stolelenberg recognizes that scientists are still unknown whether this invasive species will be able to move deep into the country, as they are tropical to some extent, and therefore the "army of Cuban cannibals, may probably stop the climate. " Scientists note that Cuban wood frogs are omnivorous meaty, but their desire to devour such such are really rare among amphibians.

According to scientists, the situation also deteriorates the size of this species, in order to maintain the shape, they will have to absorb a huge number of insects, as well as everything that can place in their mouth - in particular, smaller types of frogs. Associate Professor of the Department of Biology of the Georgia Institute of Technology James, acknowledges that fears of this invasive species are not unfounded.

Cannibs are actually threatened by local populations, which can later lead to environmental problems. For example, in 2017, Cuban-Canibals were first spotted in Louisiana, and later scientists recorded the disappearance of local frogs here. As a result, the local authorities called on the inhabitants of the northern states to monitor the number of Cuban frogs, avoid touching them and even "killing in place" if they would still meet on the way.
