A jumbo-size cane toad captured in Queensland, Australia, has tipped the scales at a whopping 6 pounds , earning it the nickname"Toadzilla" and likely making it the largest example of the species on record.
"I just couldn't believe it to be honest — I've never seen anything so big," Kylee Gray, a ranger for the Queensland Department of Environment and Science, told the Australian Broadcasting Corporation ."It flinched when I walked up to it and I yelled out to my supervisor to show him. [It looked] almost like a football with legs.
After weighing the portly toad found at the national park, rangers euthanized it"due to the environmental damage they cause," they wrote in the tweet.
