 Cane toads, I believe -- that I think were
 imported from Africa. Seems there are now hoards
 of them there. And they're big guys. A foot long,
 if I recall. And their skin secretes some
 poisonous substance so they are not easily
 handled.  Really bizarre story.
 
 Don't remember for what purpose they were
 brought to Australia in the first place, tho.
