[Instant News/Comprehensive Report] Australia's Queensland (Queensland) was shocked to see a giant toad. Rangers caught a 2.7-kilogram sea toad (cane toad) in (Conway National Park), which broke gold world record.

Due to the environmental damage it caused, the zoo has euthanized it.

The Queensland Department of Environment posted on Facebook, Twitter and other social platforms on the 20th that rangers spotted a giant sea toad while patrolling Conway National Park near (Airlie Beach) last week.

Ranger Kylee Gray said that when they stopped because they saw a snake, when she got out of the car to look around, she suddenly saw the Big Mac, which made her gasp, "I reached out and grabbed it, I couldn't I believe there will be a sea toad this big and heavy."

The BBC pointed out that the sea toad was introduced in Australia in 1935 to control crop pests, but it has now become one of the most destructive alien species in the country, with the current population estimated at hundreds of millions.

Sea toads have no natural predators in Australia, and this venomous species has caused serious harm to local species.

Gray described the giant sea toad as like a football with legs, and when it was brought back to the base for weighing, it was found that it could even break the world record - weighing 2.7 kilograms.

The Guinness Book of World Records for the largest toad is 2.65 kg.

The Queensland Department of the Environment said a sea toad of this size would eat anything it could fit in its mouth, including insects, reptiles and small mammals.

Cane toads can live up to 15 years in the wild.

Gray said she was unable to determine the age of the giant toad, but believed it had "lived a very long time".

The giant sea toad has been euthanized, which is standard practice for pest species in Australia, and the specimen will be donated to the Queensland Museum.

Rangers conducting track work in Conway National Park, near Airlie Beach, were shocked to find a monster cane toad beside the Conway Circuit last week. The animal weighed 2.7kg. She has been euthanised due to the environmental damage they cause.https:// t.co/2A9aKpalow pic.twitter.com/cSiYwBgr62
