Dog-size monster toad found in Australia!

It is worth noting that the cane toad does not live in water - majority of its time is spent on land chasing moths and grubs. They are attracted to light becuase thats where moths congregate.

As for upsetting the swimming - few cane toads are found very far south of Coffs Harbour, halfway up the coast of New South Wales. The swimming is being held in Melbourne, almost a thousand miles to the south, where it is considered too cold for the frogs to survive.

The biggest risk to the swimming are Ukranian swimming coaches.
