Richard Shine, one of the researchers, said they had been studying the ecology of snakes near the aptly named city of Darwin for two decades when the toads began arriving, about 1,000 miles, as the toad hops, from the site of their original introduction. Dr. Shine said that these guys were actually racing across the landscape at a speed that just seemed absurd and that the only way to be in a front that is moving that fast is to be incredibly quick. He also added that wildlife managers should take heed of the findings, which were reported in Nature.
