Where did you get the list from? Just wondering where the cane toad sits on the list.

Plus, is the common myna the same as the indian myna in Aus?

It came from the Global Invasive Species Database which is managed by the Invasive Species Specialist Group (ISSG) of the IUCN Species Survival Commission.
