It's a
hippo-pot-a-bus - a group of cheeky turtles have caught a free ride on a the
back of a giant hippo.
Simon
Smith, 35, caught the group of turtles - also known as terrapins - riding on
the back of a hippo while visiting the Kruger National Park, South Africa.
The
property consultant from Durban believes the terrapins were looking for a spot
to sunbathe when they spotted the hippo.
And it
seems the hippo is unfazed by his little passengers who are enjoying their free
ride.
Simon,
who took the images in August, added: "I think what made this particular
sighting unique is the sheer number of terrapin on the back of the hippo, as
well as how close I was to the sighting.
"The
terrapins, being ectothermic, were looking to warm their bodies in the sun.
