I’ve never found a toad this big before, but I guess everything is bigger in Texas!
The Cane Toad (Rhinella marina) is a huge species of toad that reaches lengths of up to ten inches. It gets its common name from the fact that it was introduced to certain areas to help control the pests in sugar cane fields.
With the ability to lay thousands of eggs coupled with their rather unrestricted diet, the Cane Toad can take over an area. Not only will they eat living animals including reptiles, amphibians, rodents and even birds, but they will also eat various plants, dead material, dog food and even garbage.
If you want to learn more about them, including why some people lick them, you’ll have to check out the video. Enjoy!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Awesome vlog!
Great post! Cannot believe how big that Cane Toad is. I guess he is doing his job eating all the pest bugs.
Thought you might enjoy this GIF. So sweet that this guy loves to be massaged.
Wow awesome !
That has to be the biggest Toad i have ever seen,Thank's for sharing!
I hope this toad can be as big as my steem power
He's awfully cute, although I wouldn't want to lick him! I remember seeing one of these toads in New Mexico, although at the time I didn't know what it was called. I saw something hop out of the corner of my eye and expected to see a rabbit but instead was the biggest toad I'd ever seen in my life!
Once my finger grabbed the frog! I screamed=)))
That is one big toad!!! I never saw any when I was in Texas (probably a good thing).
Nice
Don't get a cat as a mouser for your farm get a CANE TOAD instead. But...No licking.
someone imported Cane Toads to Texas?
that was pretty stupid.
My word! That 🐸 Is BIG! Thanks for sharing! Love learning about creatures in other states.
That is one insanely humongous toad!!! Yikes. Dude needs to lay off the steroids! 😂
They say everything is bigger in Texas :) Thank you for sharing the toads story. I just can't wrap my head around the thought of someone licking a toad! The lengths to which humans can go to get high :) LOL .
Sounds like it was a happy day for your people ! Upvoted and Resteemed! Thanks @papa-pepper!
It was a happy day! Thanks!
That's gigantic! I appreciate the size comparison; I'm surprised they didn't try to hop away.
That is a huge toad! I can not imagine licking it, but just for fun I would hold it and feel their slimy skin. It would be interesting experience.
If that toad was a psycadellic toad! Hahaha
Yup, it is.
This animated video explains the life of Australian cane toads very well.
Yep, this thing is huge. Good find. Had no idea a toad would eat living animals. Officially learned something new today.
Woah thats a big toad man. I guess everything is really big in Texas like the saying go. Very nice read and i can tell that you are very knowledgeable about the subject. Looking at the other post from the comments i can see you love the wild.
I really do enjoy the wild!
Nice!
Like para ti :)
Oh my goodness. Such a cute creature and so deadly. I would name him Prince.
Be careful, the Auzzie cane toads excreat a poison that is harmful to humans, there have been a few fatalitys from them, the texas ones may be friendlier.
