Cane toads

One of the most predators of scorpions that eat scorpions is the cane toads. Large, warty amphibians called cane toads are endemic to Central and South America. The cane toad possesses poison glands, and if most animals eat the tadpoles, they will die. Cane toads are particularly deadly to dogs since their poisonous skin may kill a wide variety of animals, both domestic and wild. The cane toad has been introduced to various areas of the Pacific and the Caribbean islands as a technique of agricultural pest management due to its ravenous appetite. The species' common name comes from its usage to protect sugar cane from the destructive cane beetle (Dermolepida albohirtum). In many of the areas where it was introduced, the cane toad is today regarded as an invasive species and a nuisance. The difficulties of introducing cane toads to Australia were chronicled in the 1988 movie Cane Toads: An Unnatural History.

They have an insatiable hunger and will consume nearly anything they can, even scorpions. Cane toads often hunt at night and locate their prey through their keen sense of smell. When they come upon a scorpion, they will immediately sting it with their poison before swallowing it whole. Even though the poison does not damage them, it is potent enough to immobilize the scorpion and make it simple for the cane toad to eat it.
