According to the Daily Mail, an Australian ranger found an ultra-huge sea toad (Cane Toad) in a national park, weighing 2.7 kilograms, which is seven times the average, and has a chance to break the Guinness World Record. Because the sea toad has caused fatal damage to local wildlife, it was eventually taken out of the wild for euthanasia and sent to a museum for further study.
Kylee Gray, a ranger at Conway National Park in northwest Queensland, said one day he was letting a red-bellied black snake pass first on the trail when he spotted a super-giant toad at his feet. Gray described it as a "soccer ball with legs", measuring 2.7 kilograms, exceeding the current Guinness World Record holder for the heaviest sea toad of 2.65 kilograms.
Gray named the giant toad Toadzilla, and was surprised that it was the largest toad he had ever encountered. Toads of this size can eat anything that can fit in their mouths, including insects, reptiles, and small mammals, and the ecological damage is quite amazing.
Due to the surge in sea toad populations and the competition for resources by local species, it has even led to the extinction of some animals and is considered a pest by the authorities. Toadzilla has now been euthanized and sent to the Queensland Museum for formal weighing for further study.
