A cane toad the size of a small dog has been nabbed in the middle of a "breeding frenzy" in a Darwin suburb.

Dubbed the "monster toad" by its catchers, the 861-gram male is the largest to be caught anywhere in the Northern Territory, according to environmental group FrogWatch.

The pest was picked up by local volunteers during a community toad bust at Lee Point last night.

Measuring 20.5 centimetres in length, the colossal male was one of 39 toads caught in the middle of a "breeding frenzy", said FrogWatch co-ordinator Graeme Sawyer.

When I was last in QLD I found that they improved my golf swing immeasurably.

That is cruel, here in the NT we put them in plastic bags and then place it in the freezer.





























As if.

... can you imagine a plastic bag bouncing around a freezer full of food for hours?

Some of the ideas that people come up with.

I did that with blow flies.

Catch them and stick em in the freezer. Wait until they go into sleep mode then tie a piece of ulta fine fishing line around its belly. Wait for it to wake up and you have yourself a pet fly!

Great fun.

When we were kids we used to get a straw and stick it up a toads arse, blow it up and try to play cricket with them. Made an awful mess on the bat if you got it right.
