This is for strictly mildly interesting material. If it's too interesting, it doesn't belong. If it's not interesting, it doesn't belong.
This is obviously an objective criteria, so the mods are always right. Or maybe mildly right? Ahh.. what do we know?
Just post some stuff and don't spam.

Why do they do this? Does it turn them on?
You’ve got that backwards. They’re turned on, and grabbing everything in sight.
Ah that makes sense
I like the way your mind works.

I just can't think of another reason why a toad woud step on another animal's back. That's how they have sex after all. The female even carries the male around for a while. I think this could be close enough to do the trick for them. Like toads are not deep thinkers. They're definitely not up there to enjoy the scenery. And it's too many of them for it to be an accident. Yeah, I thought this through before commenting 😂
