Monster toad captured in NT
Frog Watch says last night’s toad bust in Darwin’s northern suburbs uncovered what it says is the biggest cane toad ever to be caught in the Northern Territory.
The pest was found at Lee Point along with 38 smaller toads.
Frog Watch organiser Graeme Sawyer says the monster toad is the size of a small dog, measuring more than 20 centimetres in length and weighing more than 860 grams.
“The only bigger cane toad I’ve seen [is] in a specimen bottle in a museum in Brisbane,” he said.
“I reckon I’ve probably seen 50,000-60,000 cane toads in the last 12 months and there is nothing even remotely close to this thing.”
