Park rangers in Australia have discovered possibly the biggest cane toad ever recorded, and dubbed her “Toadzilla” in honor of her size.

Ranger Kylee Gray was clearing a trail at Conway National Park last week when she had to step out of her vehicle because of a snake blocking her path, per the Queensland Department of Environment and Science.

That’s when Gray looked down and saw Toadzilla.

“I reached down and grabbed the cane toad and couldn’t believe how big and heavy it was,” Gray said, per the department.

The monster cane toad weighed 5.95 pounds, six times more than the average cane toad’s weight.

“We believe it’s a female due to the size, and female cane toads do grow bigger than males,” Gray said.

“A cane toad that size will eat anything it can fit into its mouth, and that includes insects, reptiles and small mammals,” she added.
