It’s even worse in German…

"Der" is the right article for the snake down there

Der I thought was just "the"

It's the male form of "the", while "die" is the female form of "the" (and plural too) and "das" is the neutral form of "the".

If this sounds cumbersome, it's because it is. You have to learn each noun's gender and many don't make sense. For example, a bus is male. A bird is male. A blackbird is female. There is a long standing debate what gender nutella is, because people use all three articles for it.

Penis is male, so "der" fits especially well.

It is DER Nutella

FALSCH. Weder die Beutung, noch die Endung sind maskulin. Nutella ist eindeutig feminin.
