While cleaning up our yard this weekend one of the things I had to do was to fold up some large tarps that my husband uses for work.
As soon as I picked up the first corner of the first tarp out popped, or should I say hopped, TOADZILLA !!
This guy was as fat as a tennis ball with legs fore and aft ! Of course, no sooner did I scoop this HUGE toad up to say hi, but he peed on my hand ! So toad-like, how odd !!!
It took him three gargantuan pees before he was empty enough for me to risk my camera anywhere near him. Here is a portrait of TOADZILLA, the biggest toad I've ever seen !

    In answer to your query...yes, he does have a fourth leg nad NO I did not pull it off ! Perhaps you are thinking of frogs legs ? I am one of those people who catch and release any living thing to avoid harming it.

    Thanks Cindy ! Wouldn't you be pissed (haha) if some large creature scooped you up when you were having a perfectly good wallow in the muddy water under a tarp !
