Study underway of common toad found in Dublin

Rob Gandola, senior science officer with the Herpetological Society of Ireland (HSI) has told of the importance of having a common toad in captivity to determine their impact on native wildlife populations.

Trevor the toad is not native to Ireland, but was found in South County Dublin. He is now in the care of the HSI where staff are awaiting his first bowel movement with great interest so they can determine what he has been eating.
