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

@TheBreadmonkey This was a rich vein of memes many years ago. Good times.
@TheBreadmonkey Oh Ben! Did you at least see the Eagle flying with a shark/fish?
@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)
