Australia's 'Toadzilla': Record-breaking cane toad found in Queensland
By Tiffanie TurnbullBBC News
A cane Toad so giant wildlife officers thought it was fake has been found in a north Australian rainforest.
The " monster" specimen is six times bigger than The average Toad , weighs 2. 7kg, and could break a World Record .
Dubbed " Toadzilla" The Animal was quickly placed in a container and removed from The Wild .
Toads - which were first introduced to Australia in 1935 - are one of The country's most damaging pests and are now estimated to number over 2 billion.
When Park Ranger Kylee Gray first spotted The Massive amphibian while out on patrol in Queensland, she couldn't believe Her Eyes .
" I've never seen anything so big, " she told The Australian Broadcasting Corporation.
" [It looked] almost like a football with legs. We dubbed it Toadzilla. "
Her team quickly captured Toadzilla - believed to be a Female - and returned to base to weigh her. They knew she would be heavy, But were surprised to find she could set a new World Record .
The current Guinness World Record for The largest Toad - 2. 65kg - was set by a pet Toad in Sweden named Prinsen in 1991.
Ms Gray says this giant specimen likely bulked out on a diet of insects, reptiles and Small Mammals .
" A cane Toad that size will eat anything it can fit into its mouth, " She Said .
Toads have no natural predators in Australia and The poisonous species have wrought havoc on native animal populations.
Ms Gray isn't sure how old Toadzilla was - The species can live up to 15 years in The Wild - But believes she has " been around a long time".
Toadzilla has since been euthanised and will be donated to The Queensland Museum .
