How to Weigh a Toad
To establish Toadzilla’s new place atop the amphibian hefty hierarchy, the rangers first weighed it in the field. And upon initial capture, that measurement was 2.7 kg, a Queensland Department of Environment and Science press officer told Gizmodo in a phone call.
But on a follow-up weigh-in, after the toad had been kept in captivity for a period of time, the press officer noted that the animal had lost some weight and was down a significant amount. So, establishing the specimen as an official record-holder could be challenging, if not altogether impossible.
