Even natures transcendence between uncommon creatures is apparent and seems to be a universal law at times, now if only the human race catches on our world may be a better place for it. nuff said....

We are smarter than animals and do not need to learn lessons from them. /end sarcasm

Or.... a rat jumped on the toad's back, scaring it so it jumped and tried to swim away from its 'attacker' and just headed for shore because toads really are land animals, not aquatic.

It's cute, and happy, but there's no indication the toad rushed bravely into the pond to rescue the rat or if it had any heroic instincts whatsoever.

Also... people are aware we have lifeguards etc. who do rush into water to save drowning people, right?

Either that's a very big frog, or a small rat! Some of the viewers comments posted on the Daily Mail are saying it's not a rat, it's a mouse, which makes more sense.....Not that it matters, rat or mouse those photos are both cute and funny....and not something you see every day

What an amazing capture!! The photographer is so lucky!

This looks like a grateful kiss:
