Sadly, Toadzilla” was ultimately euthanized because of *“the environmental damage they cause.”* The rangers who made the discovery in Queensland’s Conway National Park said a toad that size *“eats almost anything they can swallow”*, including honey bees, native frogs, smaller toads, small mammals, and snakes.
