Why am I only just now finding out a weasel rode a woodpecker. This should be a much bigger part of my life.

@TheBreadmonkey BBC coverage of this photo was outstanding: "...the female lesser weasel weighs bout the same as a Mars bar, but it's as ferocious as a lion."
Really putting things in terms that viewers can understand.
@TheBreadmonkey That's grate wonder how the weasel even managed to hop on the wood pecker in the first place
@TheBreadmonkey Is this some secret weasel fantasy? Ride the woodpecker! Flee the fox to freedom.! Of course, uh, owls hunt weasels, too. "Hoo, hoo, it's Door Dash, honey, dinner's here!"

@TheBreadmonkey This was HUGE at the time. The photographer was initially accused of photoshopping it, so he showed more of his camera roll. Then came the naturalists, trying to explain it. 😃
@CStamp @TheBreadmonkey not huge enough!
Natgeo's popups made it impossible for me to view, though. Now I know why more people don't know. It's a pop-up cover-up.
@travisfw @TheBreadmonkey At the time, it was everywhere and a popular meme.
@TheBreadmonkey "get on weasel, we're going pecking"
@TheBreadmonkey That weasel is on some sort of Hero's quest, an adventure story we humans will never know. 🤭
@TheBreadmonkey fantastic capture

@TheBreadmonkey The look of terror on the woodpeckers face can surely only be matched by a (potentially) similar expression on the weasel, who thought they were getting dinner only to find they were now airborne.
i have to admit, crow riding eagle was my favorite
but weasel riding woodpecker is next level
just waiting on bumblebee riding hummingbird now
(yes, this is real)
@TheBreadmonkey Everybody is doing gigs in this economy, I guess.
@TheBreadmonkey est ce que tu as bien conscience qu'il ne s'agit pas d'auto-stop mais d'une scène de prédation ?
I don't even know what that means 😊
@TheBreadmonkey la belette va tuer le pic. Puis le manger.
@TheBreadmonkey look, I confess, I was busy in 2015 and I missed this too.
@TheBreadmonkey Pretty sure it wants that bird for lunch.
@TheBreadmonkey @mothninja
woodpecker not amused
@TheBreadmonkey Riddle me this: How can you tell the difference between a stoat and a weasel?
@TheBreadmonkey It's a shame that it was leaked to the press. The woodpecker made the weasel sign an NDA, but he got drunk and showed the drone photos to his mates. You can imagine the queues when it got out: mice, rats, weasels - it was mayhem! The woodpecker has since gone into hiding.
@TheBreadmonkey #WeaselPecker is a top-notch hashtag, no notes
@TheBreadmonkey The weasel version of Lord Of The Rings was over much more quickly.
@TheBreadmonkey The new Banjo-Kazooie exciting!
@TheBreadmonkey I'm deeply stressed out for the woodpecker in this scenario.
@TheBreadmonkey No American has put this on a t-shirt yet?
@TheBreadmonkey I want to start using "Weasel on a Woodpecker!!" as an emphasizing expression
@TheBreadmonkey "Are you sure that isn't an otter?", "Nah, a weasel is weaselly identified, whereas an otter is otterly different."
@TheBreadmonkey this needs to be a nursery rhyme
@TheBreadmonkey
I'll assume the woodpecker is in training, because I'm hearing the Rocky montage music in my head.
