Petting Zoo: Toadzilla

Season 53 Episode 14 | 1m 03s

They're calling it 'Toadzilla.' Check out this monster-sized 'cane toad,' recently discovered in Australia's Conway National Park. Weighing-in at nearly six-pounds, wildlife officials believe it could be the largest toad on record. Native to South and Central America, cane toads were first introduced to Australia in 1935... as a biological control against cane beetles.
