To start with 'Toadzilla'... I have mixed feelings about introducing such a poisonous animal into the ecosystem. It is well documented that both the Cane Toad and it's offspring are very toxic if ingested by other animals. Introduction of this 'now considered pest' also rippled negative effects to farmers and other native species to this environment. "Both eggs and tadpoles are toxic to many animals. This toxic protection remains at all life stages and very young cane toads kill small reptiles that eat them (Wiki)." Our need to control nature, without taking each and every variable into consideration, turns around to bite us in the rear more often than not. This narrow vision of reality does not take all factors into consideration.
As for the half-ton Colossal squid hauled from the deep sea? Can't we let anything be? It would have been a much more interesting story if it turned around and swallowed the ship! Just kidding (or am I)?

I think that the squid also should have eaten the ship! No, but seriously its such a problem that humans refuse to let anything just BE. Can't we just appreciate other living beings without haveing to exploit and murder them?
