What I particularly like about this story is the suggestion that the toad's dramatic self destruct could be:
"...a defence mechanism against aggressive crows" - Werner Smolnik, animal protection worker
Toad thinks: "Oh shit, that crow's looking a bit tetchy. It's wearing a Burberry cap, it's coming this way..." Toad goes BANG!!
Somehow it just doesn't wash as a defence mechanism.
If only I could persuade the damn turtles to part company in such style. Anyone fancy a trip to Hamburg to see if it works on turtles?
