“Hundreds of thousands of small toads were part of a mass migration across a country road in Stockton Wednesday, leaving witnesses and biologists stunned at the scale. …

“‘We’re talking like thousands of toads crossing the road,’ [witness Mary] Hulet said. ‘I’m like, ‘is this like toad-mageddon? What in the world is going on here?”

“When Utah Division of Wildlife Resources central region aquatics manager Chris Crockett saw the video Hulet and others shot with their phones, he made lofty comparisons Thursday. ‘The word, ‘biblical,’ came to mind,’ Crockett chuckled during an interview with KSL-TV.”
