SYDNEY, NSW - AUGUST 09: A Cane Toad is exhibited at Taronga Zoo August 9, 2005 in Sydney, Australia. The Cane Toad, which is poisonous, is reportedly being blamed for the deaths of a number of Australia's most dangerous predator, the Salt Water Crocodile. A three-metre long crocodile was found dead by a local crocodile tour operator last week in the Adelaide River, with the tourism operator suspecting the reptile had been poisoned after eating a toad. The director of Wildlife Management International, Graeme Webb, says he suspects that up to "20 to 30 per cent" of fresh water crocodiles will be lost to cane toads in this way.

AJO, AZ - MARCH 27: A rattlesnake tastes the air on the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Reserve on March 27, 2006 near Ajo, Arizona. Because of escalating environmental problems associated with the region?s massive illegal immigration and stepped up border enforcement efforts, the vast and desert wilderness in and around the Cabeza Prieta National Wildlife Reserve and Organ Pipe National Monument has been described as the nation?s most embattled wilderness by reserve officials. Immigrants crossing the desert are discarding tons of used water bottles, excess clothing and other trash as they elude the Border Patrol. Border agents trying to stop them, and vehicles that cross the border illegally, are accelerating widespread off-road vehicle damage on the fragile Sonoran Desert plain at an unprecedented rate.

PACIIFIC PALISADES, CA - AUGUST 07: Signs warn the public to stay out of the water in an area harboring high bacteria levels near a drain at Will Rogers State Beach on August 7, 2007 in Pacific Palisades, northwest of Los Angeles, California. Pollution at the nation?s 3,500 ocean, lake, and bay beaches caused more than 25,000 closing or swimming advisory days last year, 28 percent more than in 2005 and the highest number in the 17 years that records have been kept, according to the newly-released federal ?Testing the Waters? report by the National Resources Defense Council (NRDC). 10,000 of the closings, twice that of the year before, came from storm run-off and another 1,300 days were attributed to sewage spills. Fecal contamination from undetermined sources made up the rest of the closings. The vast pavement of large urban areas, such as the Los Angels Basin, adds to the problem by preventing run-off water from penetrating and percolating through the soil which acts as a natural filter before the water reaches the coast. At greatest risk of diarrhea and vomiting from exposure to the waterborne parasites are beach-going 5- to 12-year old children. (Photo by David McNew/Getty Images)
