It’s early on a Friday so I’m just going to put this out there and just leave it for you guys to pick up and pass on. It’s a freaking toad that, like me, turns into a pebble when it’s scared.
The toad finds a hill, curls up, and tenses. It just falls away from danger, using gravity to propel it to wherever there’s less danger. The resulting slow-mo pictures, taken by the BBC, are pretty wacky.

Hmm, I see a new extreme sport shaping up here.
It’s only a matter of time before the flying-suit folks start looking for the next new rush…
I should have waited until I had a couple more cups of coffee, I definitely wasn’t ready for that. The spider moving in the background out of focus at first was creepy as all hell too.
Transformers?
Good thing there was that puddle of water at the bottom for him to land in.
