Giant Cane Toad found in Queensland Australia. (both)
A big warty, brown, ugly cane toad just sitting in the dirt. It weighs 2.7kg - 6lb and is 25cm - 10" long It looked like a plastic toy toad. A football with legs. A cane toad that size will eat anything it can fit into its mouth, and that includes insects, reptiles, and small mammals.
Sounds like something you folks need to help curb the mice problem. Do it in combination with other rodent eat animals though. Like a three prong front against the mice.
In 1992, I was doing a radio remote from the Ameriflora celebration in Columbus Ohio and I interviewed Jack Hannah from the Columbus Zoo. He had some kind of freaky toad from Africa that was as big or bigger than that one. During the live interview, the toad jumped off his lap about 8 - 10 feet and into someone's baby carriage.
