A cane toad looking for an insect ended up with a bat in Peru according to NBC News.
"Out of nowhere the bat just flew directly into the mouth of the toad, which almost seemed to be sitting with its mouth wide open," Cerros de Amotape National Park park ranger Yufani Olaya told the Rainforest Expeditions blog .
The capture was a combination of habits the bat and the toad's reaction to the bat NBC News reported.
"Toads are voracious and will eat pretty much anything that moves and can fit in their mouth," Adam Leaché, assistant professor of herpetology at the University of Washington, told NBC News. "I've never seen something like this before."
It's thought that the bat was coming down to chomp on an insect flying low or something actually on the ground in the toad's general area, in a second the bat was in its mouth.
The toad held the pose for about a minute creating one weird picture. Eventually the toad spit out the bat and a few seconds later, it flew away.
The incident is the first photographed record of a cane toad attempting to consume a bat blog.perunature.com reported.
Cane toads, native to South America, are "notoriously opportunistic feeders" who have become famous and invading in other countries such as Australia. Cerros de Amotape National Park is located at the border of the departments of Tumes and Piura in Peru.
