Toadzilla runs riot over Australia!

Okay, there's cute Knut  the polar bear cub and now there's ... TOADZILLA! I've been following the prolific cane toads in Australia for years, but now they found a BIG one.


You can read the full story at http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/science/nature/6499713.stm or just google.com/news and search for 'toadzilla.' ;) I remember reading that these toads will eat anything, even cigarette butts, and they're toxic to the touch as well.

I read about it yesterday and *shudder* .... that's one big toad. Can you imagine the women on the search going to the guys "Oh, heck no, I am NOT picking that thing up! You get it."

I'd only pick one up if I was wearing gloves! Sure don't want that toxin on me.
