Uber Driver
Why hop when you can catch a ride on a deadly predator? It is unclear whether the toads in this picture are brave, not very smart, or perhaps a combination of both. Surprisingly, the most dangerous animal to humans in this picture is not the snake. Cane toads produce a toxin that, while not deadly to humans, is capable of killing cats and dogs. Humans should also avoid handling the toad as the toxin can cause skin and bowel irritation in humans.

Exploding Whales
That’s right, Australia has exploding whales. Or, more accurately, this whale carcass floating off the coast of Australia is in the middle of the decomposition process. The bacteria inside the corpse is releasing a gas that is building up in the well-insulated body of the deceased whale. It’s possible that the pressure from the gas will tear a small hole in the animal, through which air can slowly pass, but if not, this whale’s carcass will continue to expand until an explosion occurs. With any luck, it’ll float far enough away before that happens.
