Toad found INSIDE OUT - and experts don't know which predator is responsible


Jan Freedman, curator of natural history at The Box, came across the ‘wildlife crime scene’ in the Venford Reservoir. Mr Freedman tweeted an image of the toad - apologies in advance if you’re reading this while eating your lunch! This was a toad - but it was turned inside out. Jack Ashby, museum manager at the University Museum of Zoology in Cambridge, suggested a crow could be responsible. He said: “In Australia we see toads flipped over and eaten from the belly up by crows, to avoid the toxic skin.”However, Mr Freedman pointed out that it seems unlikely a crow could turn a toad inside out.
