When toads go for a ride on a python?
The Guardian reports:
A huge storm in Australia’s north on Sunday flushed out a sight which either fascinated or horrified those who saw it – 10 cane toads riding the back of a 3.5m python. …
“The lake was so full it had filled the cane toad burrows around the bank and they were all sitting on top of the grass – thousands of them,” he told Guardian Australia.
“He was in the middle of the lawn, making for higher ground.”
“He” was Monty, a 3.5m resident python also fleeing the rising water, only with a band of cheeky travellers on board.
“He was literally moving across the grass at full speed with the frogs hanging on,” said Mock.
“I thought it was fascinating that some of the local reptiles have gotten used to [the cane toads] and not eating them.”
All the rest of the world has seen it, but I’m so easily amused….
