This massive cane toad, 15-inches long and weighing in at almost two pounds, was captured in Darwin, Australia by a group called Frogwatch. The group seeks and destroys non-native toxic toads that are apparently wreaking havoc on Australia's ecosystem. From the Associated Press:
"We kill them with carbon dioxide gas, stockpile them in a big freezer and then put them through a liquid fertilizer process" that renders the toads nontoxic, (Frogwatch coordinator Graeme) Sawyer said."It turns out to be sensational fertilizer," he added.
