BBC NEWS Asia-Pacific Dog-sized toad found in Australia: "A giant cane toad the size of a small dog and nicknamed Toadzilla has been captured in northern Australia.
Toadzilla is the biggest cane toad ever found in Australia's Northern Territory and weighs just under two pounds, according to an environmental group.
...
"He is huge. I would hate to meet his big sister," said FrogWatch co-ordinator Graeme Sawyer.
Cane toads were first released in Queensland and have since marched in their millions across the country.
...
They have poisoned countless native animals, including crocodiles which have died after eating them.
...
A Northern Territory MP once said the toads were such a menace that people should attack them with golf clubs to keep them at bay. "
