Sentences with phrase «spotted goannas»

Our studies in Queensland confirm that species like yellow - spotted goannas learn to avoid toads as food, and so can coexist with toads.

So, toads ARE an ecological problem - but only for a fairly small number of species (the big predators) and fortunately, Queensland populations of many of those species (like yellow - spotted goannas and northern quolls) are recovering, a few decades after the toads arrived and really reduced the predator numbers.
