'More Tinder than Uber': Netizens baffled as viral photo shows toads 'hitchhiking' a ride on a python

'More Tinder than Uber': Netizens baffled as viral photo shows toads 'hitchhiking' a ride on a python Andrew Mock posted the picture taken by his brother, Paul Mock, on Twitter and soon Twitterati came up with their own jokes about the 'situation'. 68mm just fell in the last hour at Kununurra. Flushed all the cane toads out of my brothers dam. Some of them took the easy way out - hitching a ride on the back of a 3.5m python. pic.twitter.com/P6mPc2cVS5 - Andrew Mock (@MrMeMock) December 30, 2018 Many joked that the python was nothing but an Uber ride for the toads. Outback transport. https://t.co/kAiqVPiKqr - Duncan McDonnell (@duncanmcdonnell) December 31, 2018 I was today years old when I found out toads use snakes as public transport. - Laurel (@Laurel_Aust) December 31, 2018 Amazing! Must be with Uber to fit that many on the ride! - Peter Letchford (@cosmoswest) December 31, 2018 Were they toad away? 😀 - cashandcarrots (@cashandcarrots) December 31, 2018 "When I was halfway across the lawn, I bumped into the snake and he was just crawling along with all these toads hanging on, which I thought was extremely unusual and had never seen anything like that before. So I thought I better get a photo of this, and got a video of it, posted that to my brother who's in New Zealand at the moment," Paul told ABC Net Australia. "He" was Monty, a 3.5m resident python also fleeing the rising water. "He was literally moving across the grass at full speed with the frogs hanging on," he told the Guardian, adding that the snake often comes by near the farm and the family knows it. And as if the rare sight wasn't enough of a surprise, it blew people's mind when Amphibian expert Jodi Rowley, a senior lecturer in biological sciences at the University of New South Wales revealed on Twitter that the male cane toads were, in fact, trying to mate with the python! Yes, and she confirmed that males often get carried away. The whole internet loves cane toad snake, some lovely cane toads riding a python to escape a storm! *5 seconds later* We regret to inform you https://t.co/j15bzCy45x - Bec Hill (Be Chill) (@bechillcomedian) January 1, 2019 Python does NOT consent to this! #MeTooHissssss - Justin Dennison (@justinsane1987) January 1, 2019 So more Tinder than Uber? - Steve (@sinphree) January 1, 2019 somehow, you've found a way to make me sympathize with a snake and i do not like it https://t.co/f9UZJoE4d1 - isaac (@isaacmeep) January 1, 2019 So is that considered porn? Is that beastiality ? Inter species erotica? - Borda (@KarmaKinetics) January 1, 2019 No no no no noooooo! You're telling me those TOADS we're trying to HUMP the SNAKE?!? pic.twitter.com/7qZ9EmAO0E - 🌊NotMyPresident🌊 (@Chris6375) January 1, 2019 Male Cane Toads (Rhinella marina) can often be a little *too* keen to mate! 😂They're all trying to mate with the poor Olive Python (Liasis olivaceus)! #Australia #WildOz #CaneToads #ItIsNYE https://t.co/XCHSDB6sgX - Jodi Rowley (@jodirowley) December 31, 2018 This is one of the most amazing videos I've seen!! Lots of *very* horny Cane #Toads (Rhinella marina) trying to mate with a large Olive #Python (Liasis olivaceus), with Giant Burrowing Frogs (Cyclorana australis) & Red Tree #Frogs (Litoria rubella) calling in the background! https://t.co/uy4yACCb8q - Jodi Rowley (@jodirowley) December 31, 2018 Male Cane Toads often get a bit carried away. This AMAZING video reminds me of the time I found a Cane Toad trying to mate with a rotting mango in North Queensland! 🤣 pic.twitter.com/g2kUBvOUV1 - Jodi Rowley (@jodirowley) December 31, 2018 The whacky information then started a laughing riot on the microblogging site. Amphibian experts say the male cane toads were actually trying to mate with the python. Literally carried away. 😁👍🏽 https://t.co/TjHfRB9TRw - Amara Nwankpa (@Nwankpa_A) December 31, 2018 Here's a randy common toad and frog trying to bang some unfortunate goldfish. Over the years I've had amphibians latch onto my fingers, hands, arms and boots while surveying during breeding season. Their drive to breed is insanely strong. pic.twitter.com/hbC7yEnyLB - collie ennis (@collieennis) December 31, 2018 function catchException() {try{ twitterJSDidLoad(); }catch(e){}} function getAndroidVersion(ua) {ua = (ua || navigator.userAgent).toLowerCase(); var match = ua.match(/android\\s([0-9\\.]*)/);return match ? match[1] : false;}; var versions='4.2.2'; var versionArray=versions.split(',');var currentAndroidVersion=getAndroidVersion();if(versionArray.indexOf(currentAndroidVersion)!=-1){var blocks = document.getElementsByTagName('blockquote'); for(var i = 0; i < blocks.length; i++){blocks[i].innerHTML = '';}}Dailyhunthttps://www.ted.com/profiles/11525525
