    I went to Costa Rica five years ago and found a toad so big I had to pick it up with both hands. It was at least 15 pounds. I thought it was the cane toad at first, but they do'nt get that big. What is it that I found?

    		Might have been a Smoky Jungle Frog, these are quite common and large.(They can be almost 7 inches in lenght)

    		Sounds really close, but some guy told me that it was poisonous and I think that only toads have poison.

    		It might be a Bufo toad, which is common in Costa Rica. There are over 150 species of Bufos though. (Canes are Bufo Toads too!)
