If you can get your hands on a toad, they make a great dissection.

The first thing you will notice on the back of the cane toad are the poison glands. These are small white glands. You can see these in the picture to the left

Turn the frog over and pin it down, as shown in the image to the right.

Make a small insertion at the bottom and cut up to the throat. Ensure you cut in an upward direction.

Pull back the skin to reveal the abdominal wall.  

Carefully cut through the abdominal wall to reveal all of the organs in the can toad.

You should be ale to see the:

• Lungs
• Liver
• Stomach
• Fatty tissue
• Sternum

A great thing to look at is the lungs.

As you can see by the image to the right, the lungs of the cane toad have a similar texture to bubble wrap.

Once the organs are removed you will get a clear view of the spinal cord and nerves.

As you can see in the image to the right, you can easily view the nerves extending from the spinal cord to the lower body.

Once you have observed the organs inside the organism, remove them and lay out the organs and try to identify them.

Cut open the stomach to observe what the cane toad just ate. As you can see by the image to the right, this cane toad ate a large amount of Beatles and bugs.

This can give us an insight into the diet of cane toads.
