Thats a Cane toad..
deadly poison..no known predators will touch it..a scourge on OZ brought on shore in 1935 to kill cane beetles,which it didn't and became a curse on the land of OZ..

Fish who eat toadpoles die. Animals who eat toad adults die. The museums have plenty of snakes preserved in jars which were killed by toad toxin so fast, the toad is still in their mouths unswallowed. Even small amounts of water, such as a pet's water dish, can be fouled by toadpoles and adults. When the pet comes along to drink from it's dish, it becomes sick. Local vets report that a couple dogs a month are brought in ill just from "mouthing" toads.

Enjoy your "Frog" legs...
