The (presumed female) behemoth potentially breaks the existing world record for the largest known toad, set by a Swedish pet named Prinsen (The Prince). Since 1991, Prinsen has held the title, with a documented weight of 5.84 pounds (2.65 kg), and a length of 1 foot 3 inches “from snout to vent.” But thanks to Toadzilla, The Prince may be dethroned—in our hearts, if not in the official Guinness Book.
