Australian park rangers say 'Toadzilla' could be world's biggest toad

“We considered naming her Connie after Conway National Park but Toadzilla was the one that just kept getting thrown out there, so that kind of stuck,” Gray told state broadcaster ABC on Friday.

Gray’s colleague, senior park ranger Barry Nolan, told Reuters the animal was euthanised due to its “ecological impact” — the usual fate for the toads across Australia.

Fleeting fame and a sad end. Shades of Yodo-chan.

Beautiful animal but sadly a pest and needs to be rubbed out.

Sad fate...

Sad.

True she probably inflicted quite a bit of damage on the Australian ecosystem on the way to getting to that size, but she didn't choose to be a cane toad in Australia.

Surely the biggest cane toad on record could have been found a new home in a zoo where she could do no more harm?
