Taxi! By Brett Thomson

This cheeky little croc decided that he was fed up swimming everywhere, so decided instead to hitch a ride on the back of a large hippo!

Taxi!

 

This sighting was witnessed by 21 year-old field guide and wildlife photographer Richard Millar.

“When I arrived at the dam the hippo was almost fully submerged in the mud with just his nostrils sticking out. He had a grey heron perched on his back but about 5 minutes later the heron flew away and a baby crocodile decided it was his turn! He would sit for about 10 minutes and then go for a dip and do the whole thing again!’

When Richard left the sighting the baby croc was still stretched out and sunning himself on his cruise ship!
