South Africans are shocked at the endurance of a toad that got trapped in a cargo shipment from China to Cape Town，after jumping into a porcelain candlestick(烛台) that was made there.South African officials reportedly planned to put down the creature，fearing it would cause harm as an invasive species if it were let go in the wild.,But the toad got a last-minute pardon.Mango Airlines，a South African airline，transported the toad on Friday to Johannesburg for delivery to an animal shelter，after officials decided to find a way to let the toad live.The two-hour flight was a breeze compared to the trip from China，a long way of many weeks and thousands of kilometers across the Indian Ocean. Airline spokesman Hein Kaiser said the toad got “first-class treatment”，sitting in a transparent plastic container with escort Brett Glasby，an animal welfare inspector.There was even a ceremony，,in which the toads boarding pass was handed to Glasby.“He was the star of the show on the flight，” Kaiser said of the amphibious(两栖的) passenger.“I think every passenger stopped to have a look.” On landing in Johannesburg，the toad was brought out of its container for a celebrity-style photo shoot.Observers said the brown toad seemed like a cool customer.It belongs to the Asian Toad species，which breeds during the monsoon(季风) season.It is believed to have survived the trip from China by hardening its skin to prevent it from drying out，and also by slowing its breathing and heart ratemethods that help the species survive in times of drought.,“Weve had snakes in imported timber and scorpions(蝎子) in fruit.We were called because the toad was right inside the candlestick，and we had to break it to get it out，” Glasby，the inspector，told The Star，a South African newspaper.,语篇解读 人们都说“猫有九条命”，而中国的一只蟾蜍也获得了此美誉。它被困在一架从中国飞往开普敦的飞机上，在旅途中它展示了自己非凡的生命力。,语篇解读,4.What is the passage mainly about?
