LOL….can you imagine that some poor tax-paying shlubs have their hard-earned wages confiscated by government so that “experts” can argue over stains in rocks? Hey, “experts”: NO ONE CARES.

The attached bacteria are symbiotes that fasten themselves to the primary organism to obtain movement capability. The symbiotes have sensors that can provide direction toward nourishment sources but can not easily move to gain access.

The primary organism allows the symbiotes to provide enhanced guidance to also gain access to the food.

Both organisms were unable to adapt and thus died out as did tens of thousands of other such evolutionary dead ends

To be honest, I’d never heard of a “Hypnotoad” until now.
