Some called it the Outback Uber as 10 cane toads have been caught riding a python.

Paul Mock, of Western Australia, filmed the bizarre sight after a heavy thunderstorm on Sunday night.

The animals were trying to escape an overflowing dam on the Mocks' property when the toads came up with the novel form of transport.

Mock sent the images to his brother Andrew, who then posted them online.
